A Session by Mr. Mrinal Bhargava on Career Opportunities in Finance Sector

During an interactive session with students of Shanti Business School, Mr. Mrinal Bhargava, vice president, Royal Bank of Scotland, Dubai, shared his life mantra that “Journey is the Reward”.  Mr. Bhargava conducted the interaction with the students on various career opportunities available in today’s time to post graduates in business management in the field of Finance. 

Apart from the mantra, the guest speaker first asked students to have a focused approach towards life and career and emphasized that one must do a self SWOT analysis. He further added by stating that in today’s world one cannot possess knowledge about just one subject and be revered for that, one needs to have overall understanding of all aspects as everything is interconnected. At the same time one needs to deliver that extra as people remember you for something that you deliver which is a little bit better than the others. One needs not forget the importance of basic business etiquettes.  

Mr. Bhargava explained various roles one could get into in the finance sector and what qualities one would require for that. He also explained basic functions of banks, working capital cycle, importance of 15 basic ratios, the liquidity picture and treasury centre solutions. 

His last advice to students was that industry respects candidates who have seriousness, preparedness and willingness to learn and deliver. These according to him are hard facts of life which one might not like but cannot ignore also.
