I feel so thankful to CityU for giving me a strong foundation in management theory and practice in the MBA programme. After ten years of work, I then completed a DBA programme in 2016 and I am now working for a Fortune 500 company – Quanta Computer Inc. During my 20 years of work in Shanghai, I have followed the academic achievement of CityU in the media and I am so proud of it.

As an undergraduate student at CityU, I was deeply interested in quantitative finance and I wished to put the theories into practice. I then received a Master's degree in Mathematics for Finance and Actuarial Science from CityU and a Doctoral degree from CUHK in 2017. I am now working in a hedge fund company, mainly responsible for investment research and transaction strategies. Although I have encountered various difficulties at work, I am grateful that I am able to apply my knowledge and gain more insights about the market.

It's such good news for me that I passed ACCA Paper P2 in the June session which is one of the most difficult subjects. I exerted every effort in the past three months to prepare for the exam in the face of mountains of pressure and unexpected problems both in life and work. Finally, I made it and I'm truly grateful for the support of my family in were always there for me even in the worst of times.

Suhani Batwara
BBA Marketing Information Management‘18
For me business is not just about money, it's a passion and a drive to succeed. As a recent graduate, I started my own venture, Tanzire, with a mission to create an online marketplace community. Jewelry designers from around the globe can effortlessly sell contemporary handmade jewelry, whilst buyers can conveniently buy jewelry through the use of augmented reality. I recently represented Tanzire at the RISE Conference 2018, along with companies from more than 120 countries. Starting Tanzire is one of the most important milestones in my life and it has already brought a lot of opportunities with it.
