Aside from your classmates, what was the key part of Oxford Saïd’s MBA programming that led you to choose this business school, and why was it so important to you? I am a 1+1 MSc & MBA Scholar. The Oxford 1+1 MBA offers a uniquely interdisciplinary pathway, which has allowed me to deepen my academic research while refining my skills as an impact-driven entrepreneur. I was drawn to the programme’s ability to bridge rigorous scholarship with practical innovation, enabling me to formally connect my sociological research with the real-world work I do across creative, digital, and community-focused spaces.

What course, club, or activity has been your favourite part of the Oxford Saïd MBA experience, and why? It was spending a week in New York on the Pershing Square Scholar Trek, learning from innovative leaders behind organisations supported by the Pershing Square Foundation, including Recidiviz and Carnegie Hall. It was inspiring to see how these organisations are tackling urgent and complex challenges with both care and creativity.

What is the most “Oxford” thing you have done so far as a full-time MBA student? It was watching my friends in Summer Eights, a university-wide competition in which colleges enter boats with eight rowers during Trinity Term of my MSc.

Oxford is known as a place where worlds collide, whether in the classroom or the dining hall. What has been the most interesting interaction you’ve had so far as an Oxford MBA student? Forming friendships with people from all over the world and sharing our cultures and upbringings through cooking, eating, listening to music, and dancing together.

Describe your biggest accomplishment in your career so far: Founding my first company. I spent three-and-a-half years founding and growing an impact-driven community interest company, Juice Magazine, motivated by a mission to create greater opportunity, representation, and mentorship for South Asians in Britain’s arts and cultural sector.

Describe your biggest accomplishment as an MBA student so far: Conducting research within a community I am proud to be part of, the diasporic South Asian creative community, which formed the foundation of my MSc thesis: Digital Arts, Archives, and Acts of Resistance among South Asian Creative Communities.

Oxford Saïd is considered a mission-driven MBA programme. What social issue resonates most with you, and how do you plan to use your career path to address it? I have dedicated my career to supporting people of colour in building digital portfolios and career pathways rooted in purpose and mission. I aim to elevate stories that deserve to be heard, shape how they are told, and expand the digital and cultural infrastructures that carry them. Through the MBA, I am developing the strategic and organisational capabilities needed to scale this work across sectors, bringing together creativity, digital innovation, and community-led advocacy to drive meaningful, long-term change.
