Rajani’s finance career began with a B.Com from Mount Carmel College in Bangalore, sparking her passion for economic analysis. She earned an MBA in Finance from Annamalai University, then qualified as a Chartered Accountant through ICAI in 2010. Starting at JCSS, she gained foundational audit and structuring experience that sharpened her compliance expertise. During five-plus years at PwC, Rajani developed core M&A expertise, working with private equity and venture capitalists to structure deals across manufacturing, technology, and consumer goods sectors. This experience honed her skills in high-stakes negotiations, due diligence, and transaction structuring—capabilities she now applies at RM & Co, leading M&A advisory for venture-backed acquisitions and cross-border restructurings. With over nine years of proven success, her meticulous, client-focused approach consistently delivers results that build lasting partnerships.

Looking ahead, Rajani tracks transformative forces in global finance, particularly central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and their impact on international trade and monetary policy. She sees CBDCs streamlining payments and enhancing financial inclusion, especially for emerging markets like India, while challenging traditional banking through new regulatory demands. Equally focused on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors—now prioritized by over 80% of institutional assets—she guides clients through these shifts, structuring deals that leverage digital innovations and embed sustainable practices.

Rajani’s personal interests enrich her professional approach. An avid traveler exploring historic sites and cultural heritage while studying new languages, she draws parallels between uncovering ancient narratives and decoding financial strategies. A former state-level basketball player, she credits the sport’s discipline for building her resilience and strategic thinking—qualities evident in her chess hobby. Her curiosity about Greek mythology and Indian history fuels a holistic worldview, enabling her to connect insights across cultures and anticipate trends that deliver enduring value.
