Driven by his vision of success in the field, Vipul made the audacious decision to transition into finance. Recognizing the need to augment his skills and knowledge, he pursued further education, enrolling in a post-graduate diploma program in management at one of the most prestigious institutes in India, IIM Indore, specializing in finance.

The opportunity to study at one of the world's leading MBA programs provided him with the necessary tools, knowledge, and connections to thrive in the competitive world of finance. It opened the doors to the Wall Street Investment Banking world that he joined right after graduating from MBA in 2016.
