Introduction
As a professional anchor and corporate emcee based in Mumbai, I have the privilege of hosting some of India’s most prestigious and high-impact events. One of the highlights this season was anchoring the Asset Managers Conclave by Dovetail, held at the iconic Four Seasons Hotel, Lower Parel.
This event brought together India’s most influential voices in asset management, global fund structures, and regulatory leadership — making it one of the most dynamic evenings in the Indian financial services space.
For anyone searching for an anchor in Mumbai, a corporate emcee for financial events, or a professional MC in India — this event beautifully reflects the style, poise, and depth I bring to every stage.
