Reflections on 2024:Bijoor
As I bid adieu to 2024, I'm filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead. The year began on a high note with my preparation for the Tata Mumbai Marathon in January, followed by my birthday celebrations.
At Fx First Basis Risk Consulting, our focus on risk management and value addition yielded outstanding results. It was our best year yet in terms of risk management and value addition for our clients. Although business development was slow due to RBI's intervention policy, the USD-INR market gained momentum in the last quarter.
I'm honored to have been inducted into the board of Edgewater Markets India Private Limited and to have contributed to the application for an Electronic Trading Platform license.
On a personal note, I fulfilled my dream of buying a new car. The celebration of Sitarama Kalyanotsav at my native place temple in Byndoor was a memorable event, with over 1000 participants.
The year concluded with the successful Rupee Money Conference on December 6th. I'm grateful for the appreciation from Mr. Mahalingam and Mr. Ananthnarayan, whole-time SEBI board member. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. G. Padmanabhan Sir for being a guiding mentor and pillar of strength for the Rupee Money Conference. His invaluable guidance and support have been instrumental in shaping the conference into a premier event.
Aspirations for 2025
As we step into 2025, I'm eager to embark on new challenges. Although I'll miss participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon due to a family wedding, I'm excited about the launch of Zen 12 on January 17th.
I'm grateful for the unwavering support of my wife, daughter, and new partner, Mr. Pankaj Chitlangia. I also appreciate the support of my outgoing partner, Mr. Sumant Prabhu, and my friend, Mr. K.S. Prabhu.
To my clients, I extend my heartfelt thanks for trusting First Basis. As we look to the future, I wish for the Rupee to be free in 2025, driving growth in India's financial markets.
My New Year's resolutions include prioritizing physical and mental well-being, expanding my business, and running long-distance events in India and overseas. I'm committed to nurturing the next generation of Master Traders for the financial markets.
Here's to an extraordinary 2025!
