About Me
Hey, I’m Ashish Cecil. I’m an ex-banker turned Content Creator, Podcaster, entrepreneur, and author (and I dabble with the occasional investment too).
Who Am I
Welcome to my personal space! I’m Ashish Cecil Murmu.
Professionally, I navigate the intricate world of banking, where precision and a keen eye for detail are my daily companions. But beyond the numbers and financial strategies, lies my true calling – entrepreneurship. This is where my heart beats the loudest, fueled by a passion for innovation and a relentless drive to create and inspire.
But who am I when the spreadsheets close and the business plans are set aside? A voracious reader and an enthusiastic writer. My world is a blend of words and ideas, where literature and insights dance together, creating a rhythm that resonates with my soul. I believe that every book I devour adds a new layer to my perspective, and every piece I write brings me closer to understanding the world and myself.
In this blog, I’ll share slices of my life, insights from my dual journey in banking and entrepreneurship, and the lessons gleaned from the pages of both books and life. So, sit back, relax, and join me on this journey of exploration, motivation and discovery.
