On this episode of Power of Connections, we dive deep into Urmi's passion for finance and how her journey from university to the workplace has been fueled by mentorship and meaningful relationships. We explore how building strong connections can enhance job satisfaction and retention, and why mentorship is a two-way street where both parties learn and grow together.

From the power of women supporting women to the importance of networking with diverse individuals, Urmi shares how stepping out of her comfort zone and engaging in community events, Toastmasters, and workplace socials helped her forge impactful friendships and mentorships—including with her work bestie. Tune in for insights on how personal connections drive professional success and why fostering these relationships can open doors to unexpected opportunities.
And dont forget to find yourself and also be a mentor/friendtor!
