​About Jinal

​

I grew up in Mumbai where I did my undergrad in Economics and Statistics at St Xavier’s College. Out of college, as a naïve 21 year old, my goal was to change the world for the better and I worked in social impact startups before going for my MBA to Indian School of Business (ISB). Post ISB, I worked at ThoughtWorks before moving to Amazon India. Been here for the past 5+ years as a program manager in different teams where I conceptualize and execute initiatives to solve our business problems
