EP07 | Making the Buck Walk and Talk | Money, Finance and Stories with Prof. A.P Singh

Info Under The Radar

Welcome to ep. 7 of Info Under the Radar. This is a special one for us and a bit personal as well!
In this episode, we are talking about Money, Finance, Investing, Insurances, and more from the first principle.

We talked to our beloved professor from undergrad, Prof. AP Singh (or APS for short) who had a long and successful career in banking/finance for more than 30 years, working for ICICI (one of the top 4 banks in India) and learned about money from a very different perspective. In his second innings, he is a professor at The LNMIIT, Jaipur where arguably he is one of the most loved professors due to his unusual approach to teaching and life in general.
