Ep 82 - Purva Aggarwal - Celebrating Entrepreneurship- Celebrating Parenting @ Shark Tank The xMonks Drive
-
- Self-Improvement
Some people are born on third base—they inherit money, marry into wealth, or win a lottery. The rest of us must hit base (and occasionally strike out) in our quest to amass our own money. And this is what a true entrepreneur's journey involves. However, the question is: How far would you go to sate your thirst for knowledge and become an Indian solopreneur?
This podcast with Purva Aggarwal (Founder of Good Good piggy and one of the participants of Shark Tank, India) is a special homage to all the parents who gave their kids the freedom to forge their own paths in life.
Purva is the first female soloprenuer in India and third globally to enter the 'children's online banking & wallet' space with her startup called Good Good Piggy. As India's first disruptive EdFinTech start-up for pre-teenagers- Good Good Piggy positions as a digital piggy bank and behavioural rewards platform...doubling up as an investment channel to form good habits while contributing towards their financial security. Purva is also the Ambassador of the India Chapter of Women in Tech, an international non-profit (head-quartered in Paris, France) dedicated to promoting greater diversity in tech. She is also a Financial Analyst at a private equity investment advisory firm in London and a writer, under mentorship with a leading publication for institutional investors.
In 2020, Purva was selected to join the ImpactGen Talent Program at Kairos Society Europe, a global community of celebrated young leaders who are using entrepreneurship and innovation to find solutions to the world's greatest challenges. With her academic background in Investment Banking and Finance, Purva is also a researcher in the field of Mergers and Acquisitions. Previously, she has worked as a business development specialist with management consultancies (including Sameer Mittal & Associates, now part of Intertrust Group) and international organizations in trade and policy making, including the Global Policy Insights-AI Policy Lab and the International Trade Council, India. She has also delivered risk-based internal audits, business process reviews, internal financial control (IFC) and IT general control (ITGC) reviews for leading organizations such as BDO India and Grant Thornton.
