Going Beyond the Book 2023

48 | Going Beyond the Book 2023 [ PROFILES OF FINANCE ELITE 2023 ] My mantra for success can be distilled into one word: balance. This principle permeates every aspect of my life, whether it’s maintaining equilibrium between my personal and professional life, balancing constructive feedback and motivation as a leader, or finding the right balance between profitability and business growth in my role as the CFO of Kinara Capital. I also firmly believe that a robust support network is essential for women to succeed, especially in finance. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with many extraordinary individuals, like our CEO, Ms. Hardika Shah, whose guidance and support have cemented my success in this industry. Under her leadership, Kinara Capital not only brought three new equity investors on board but also secured debt funding. Till date, the company has raised over half a billion dollars in debt and equity. Built a diversified liability model that is effective for both risk management and ensuring that the organization stays true to its mission statement without being disproportionately influenced by any investor.
