Renuka Nair, a former banker is the founder of Panache IELTS. She was born and raised in Mumbai and did her schooling from Apostolic Carmel Convent, a school that believed in holistic education. Despite Malayalam being her mother tongue, English was her first language of education. The nuances of grammar were inculcated in her during her formative years, along with creative writing. 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. Wanting to start out on her own, she quit banking in 2012 and started training professionals initially in Corporate Communications, followed by Spoken English and eventually IELTS, TOEFL, GMAT, and so on.
