He had been a computer engineer for a brief time in his career, but the Almighty Lord had different sets of plans laid out for him.
He relocated to Mumbai with the intent to find regime deployment financial management. He got into the business with lawmakers and the leading financial services employees who persisted those days. His cousin brother was working in a prominent position with a bank, and he extended this opportunity with young Bala.
Through this job, he developed a knack for Market functioning since his place of employment was close to the Bombay Stock Exchange. In addition, during these days, his father entrusted him with Managing their Mutual Funds. So this was the reason that he was consumed by Mutual Funds and ended up being a Mutual Fund Trader.
