On-Purpose

“On Purpose is a uniquely positioned and expertly managed programme with capability to educate about the wider social sector. It provides unparalleled networking opportunities and I feel accomplished to be a part of it.”

Neha Chandgothia

Neha has worked for over 7 years in banks, consultancy and asset management firms in the area of Risk Management and Regulatory Change. In these roles she led teams and facilitated implementation of risk change projects, portfolio management and risk reporting, all focusing primarily on Credit Risk. The roles involved working across global diverse teams, understanding regulatory requirements by applicable regulators and then facilitating the implementation of those changes.

It gave her an experience of working in the third sector. She has an MBA in Finance and Bachelors in Accountancy and Information Technology and has gained work experience in India and London.
