Meet Diksha, a DU grad who pivoted from commerce to marketing, earned her MSc from Queen Mary University of London, and landed a job at the iconic Four Seasons… all without a fancy MBA tag.
In this episode of Videshi Chai, she breaks down:
– Why she chose Queen Mary for marketing
– Her honest take on life in London as an Indian student
– Budgeting hacks that helped her survive in one of the world’s most expensive cities
