I’m Maryam. I’ve recently graduated from Alliance Manchester Business School with an MBA. Previously, I’ve worked at one of the largest commercial banks in India, I was working as an Assistant Manager in the International Remittances department there. I, then, transitioned into my family business of selling chikankari embroidered garments. I joined the business to take care of the export arm, manage finances and streamline operations.

The highlight of the internship project was to present my findings and recommendations to the CEO, Mr. David Potts.
