Siddharth Bankawat brings 20+ years in BFSI to two things done well: personal financial advisory for individuals and families, and industry-oriented finance sessions for MBA/PGDM students.
Whether you're planning your own portfolio or bringing us onto campus, everything starts with the same principle: plain-language advice, no jargon, no guesswork.
Mutual fund advisory, goal-based planning, and portfolio guidance for investors at every stage — from first-timers to legacy builders.
Industry-oriented finance sessions for MBA/PGDM students, delivered individually or as the Lion & Cub Certified Personal Finance Professional (LCPFP) programme.
Portfolio selection and review, matched to your goals and risk appetite — not the fund of the month.
Retirement, a child's education, a home — each goal gets its own timeline and its own plan.
Structuring investments so tax planning and wealth building work together, not against each other.
Building the buffer that keeps a life event from becoming a financial crisis.
Long-term wealth transfer planning for families thinking beyond a single generation.
Finance, banking, and career-readiness sessions for B-school students — see the Sessions path above.
"My aim is to make personal finance make sense — whether I'm sitting across from a client planning retirement, or in front of a classroom of students learning how markets actually work."
Siddharth is a CFP (FPSB-certified) and AMFI-registered mutual fund distributor, with 13 years in Learning & Development leadership roles across the BFSI industry.
"Siddharth explained SIPs and compounding in a way I actually understood — no jargon, just clarity."
"The session gave our students a practical grounding in personal finance that the regular curriculum doesn't cover."
"Years of association, and every conversation still ends with a clearer plan than I walked in with."
