He always waits for the opposite person to complete their side of the conversation before putting across his viewpoints.

Challenges are a part of everyone’s life, including Mayank’s. The challenge for the investment banking industry revolves around higher capital charges, market electronification & digitalization, stuck cost base, inflexible and layered technology with the increased complexity of regulation and reporting.

“We overcame this by shedding non-core assets and redesigning the service delivery around a connected flow model—moving capacity and processes among various geographies and ecosystem partners—and optimize the use of financial technology, data, and analytics to generate differentiated insight,” Mayank explains. Investment banking is a timedemanding job. Mayank, too, mastered the art of work-life balance.
