As a side hustle I work as an independent fintech consultant on Upwork where I made $5k+ in one year and helped my clients raise funds to the tune of $25k+ due to my interest in tech and blockchain.

Manoharan at the International CA Students Conference in Ahmedabad in Jan 2019 in front of 3000+ attendees. I am interested in the Spanish language and culture and hold a DELEA1 certification. In my spare time, I like to practice Spirituality and Astrology.
