1) Tell us about yourself?
I am from commerce back ground. I had initially taken B.Com as I was preparing for CA-CPT until then Tolani college introduced Bfm course and then I researched about the subjects and also spoke to my teachers about the subjects. The financial Markets was an interesting subject as it is a very dynamic and volatile Market and there is always something happening in it and most importantly, it is a practical one. I was keen to study it in depth and that drew my interest towards this course. After Bfm, I am planning to work and do CFA.
