I grew up in Mauritius in a fourth-generation family business, Currimjee Group, where responsibility, integrity, entrepreneurship, patience, and partnership shaped my values.
Studies at Boston College in the United States, Chartered Accountant training with Arthur Andersen in London, and investment banking at Lazard built discipline and attention to detail. Time as a partner at Arundel Partners, a boutique hedge fund seeding platform, strengthened persistence and resilience.
