I had the pleasure of serving as the speaker for yesterday’s startup valuations workshop organized by the CFA Society India in Pune.

Despite inclement weather conditions, including heavy rain, I was impressed with the considerable turnout. Due to the overwhelming demand for this workshop, the organizers found it necessary to reopen registrations.

I extend my sincere gratitude to all who were able to attend. Please note that the 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 for those who could not participate.
