01 / The educator

Four sides of finance, one career.

I’m Ashmeet Singh, a finance professional with a Masters from The London School of Economics. Over the last seven years I have worked across four very different corners of finance: corporate deals, public policy, global fund management and private wealth. Today I share what I have learned with school students in India and the UK, so they can see how finance and economics work outside the textbook and plan careers in them with confidence.
