Salalah—the place that holds my heart and will always be home. I spent 18 transformative years there, growing up, learning, and living within its serene coastal beauty. Every corner of Salalah is etched with memories, from childhood adventures to the friendships formed in this diverse community of people from around the world. Soccer, athletics, and chess fueled my competitive spirit, and leading my school soccer team in my senior years was a proud moment I’ll always carry with me. But my true passion lay in business and the fascinating world of capital markets. That drive led me to pursue commerce in high school, where I pushed myself to excel academically. Graduating with distinction and earning recognition both in academics and extracurriculars was a testament to my ability to stay cool under pressure and juggle multiple tasks with ease. Leaving Salalah to pursue higher studies in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, wasn’t just a step forward; it was a leap into the next chapter of my life—a journey fueled by ambition, curiosity, and the values instilled in me from my time in the place I call home.
