Nawal Saini: How to think about investment decisions worth hundreds of millions of dollars‪?‬ Career Checkpoint

In this episode, I chat with Nawal Saini. Nawal is a Managing Director in Brookfield’s Renewable Power Group. In this role, he is responsible for building and managing Brookfield’s business in India and assists the infrastructure team in executing large-scale transactions. I got a one-hour private masterclass on how Nawal takes investment decisions worth hundreds of millions of dollars! We spoke about the role of luck and serendipity in his career arc and how he accounts for biases in decision-making. nawal also told me why he thinks he’s a much better senior leader as compared to the associate who had just started his career. If you’re looking to build a career in investment, there are many useful lessons for you. And one more thing - Nawal also explains in novice-friendly terms, what his company, Brookfield, a global leader in alternative asset management does. I hope you find this as insightful as I did.
