Shreya’s journey

I was part of the MFin 2022/23 class. Prior to the Cambridge MFin, I held a Master in Business Administration (MBA) and Bachelor of Technology (honors) in Civil Engineering.

I joined the Master of Finance programme with over 5 years of experience as a management consultant, enabling sustainable investments in urban infrastructure. In my previous role, I was working with PwC in India, assisting the governments, development finance institutes, utility companies as well as private sector investors, in Asia and the Middle East, across the investment lifecycle. A few of the one-of-its-kind projects/programmes which I managed/led during this experience included the National Mission for Clean Ganga in India, NEOM in Saudi Arabia, wastewater and sanitation project in Bangladesh on public-private partnership.

The MFin programme offered me the opportunity to work on, as well as speak with leaders on aspects of investments in new energy infrastructure, sustainable finance and impact investments.

I chose the Cambridge MFin to deepen my nuances in finance and investment, and also to explore its interlinkages with the wider realm of sustainability and innovation through courses such as Sustainable Finance, Purpose of Finance, Infrastructure Finance. Further, I thoroughly enjoyed the industry-linked practical learnings through City Speaker Series, Equity Research Project and Group Consulting Project. Personally, the group projects as well as other cultural events at the vibrant Cambridge ecosystem were the highlights of my MFin journey.
