Bio
Manas Chowgule
Rekha is one of the most hard working and diligent persons I have come across. Starting out as an analyst in my team, she quickly proved herself to be worthy of managing a team of her own. Apart from being an outstanding financial analyst with excellent writing skills and attention to detail, she proved herself to be a great mentor for other analysts too. She particularly impressed me time and again with her excellent research, delivered on very tight deadlines. She is the reliable rock that any team would be lucky to have.
