After working in India for about a year, I ventured to Vancouver to pursue a master’s degree in Business Analytics, where I found myself captivated by the city’s charm. Upon completing my graduate studies, I eagerly sought out opportunities in consulting, ultimately finding my fit at Deetken.

Their core values closely align with my own principles, and I was drawn to the prospect of being part of a team where I could truly take pride in my work.
