As 2021 begins, I would like to highlight the importance of perseverance & positive thinking.

The aim of this thread is to motivate people to stay committed to their goals.

Sharing few of accomplishments which I never thought would have been possible.

Dream BIG !

1)I did a 2 day quantitative trading seminar @iitbombay focussed on system driven trading and got a great response.

Being a introvert,I always shied speaking on the stage & this was my first public speaking apperance & learnt the importance of people’s skills.

2) Seeing my IIT Bombay seminar post, I got approached by @JBIMS, a top MBA institute to share my insights on system driven and markets for their MBA students.

I realised the importance of brand building and self promotion.

3) CEO of a multi-million dollar trading desk saw my post of IIT Bombay on Linkedin and asked if I could train his traders on how to build trading systems & be more system driven

That’s how I got introduced to training large proprietary trading desks.

4) Seeing my post of training Marwari Shares, I got approached by head trader of KIFS ( a large prop trading desk) to train their traders on the same.

It’s one of the best trading desk I have been to till date.

I personally learnt a lot & built a great network of traders

5) All my posts were now being noticed by many & got approached by the secretary of Investment Fund Club from @iimb_official.

Loved the campus and my dream to get into IIM ( only for a day though) got fulfilled.

Got approached by @iitdelhi for a quantitative trading workshop.

The economics club head said that he has never such a positive feedback for any workshop held by them😬

20) There’s much more to accomplish and I hope 2021 is even better.

Few of my goals for this year :

All I want to say is that:

If you have not been able to get success yet, don’t lose hope & keep hustling.
You eventually get what you want😊
