As a digital product summer analyst at the Center for Finance, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CFTE) in London and an engineering essentials fellow at Goldman Sachs in New York, Dhvani Khakhar pursued her dream of professionally working in the corporate world of finance over the summer 2020, remotely while she lived in Dubai. Working at two different time zones, Khakhar made the most out of available opportunities during the pandemic.
CFTE is a global online education platform for professionals working in the finance industry. From April to September 2020, as a product intern, Khakhar was directly involved in curating courses like Open Banking, RegTech and FinTech Foundation 2.0, with industry experts from around the world. Blessed with immensely supportive mentors at CFTE, she was made to take lead on some of the projects herself. Her diverse set of tasks ranged from leading discussions of curriculum design between industry professionals and the product team to brainstorming the best products that the company could offer.
