Introduction about me and PGDAST

My name is Anoop Bose and I am from a small town located on the Indo-Pak border in Rajasthan. I did my undergraduate studies from Rajasthan and I did my MS in Finance from the United Kingdom. I have around 7 years of experience in the Fraud and Risk domain in various companies like Amazon and LinkedIn. I enrolled for the PGDAST program in January of 2019 and I am here to help my fellow participants as best as I can.
