It was while she was pursuing her Bachelor's degree that she decided to hone her vocabulary. Having completed her Masters in Mathematics and Computer Science, she started her career in Vadodara, Gujarat in NIIT, teaching C++ to Engineering students. This was followed by 15 years in the Banking Industry, during the course of which she obtained a PG diploma in Finance.
