My time at Athena Advisors has been a highly enriching and formative experience. I had the opportunity to work on risk management and advisory assignments, contributing to the development of structured frameworks and client-focused solutions. The organization’s culture of ownership, learning and analytical thinking has significantly strengthened my understanding of finance and risk.

I am especially grateful for the trust placed in me, the continuous support from leadership and the strong collaboration within my team. Working alongside such driven and knowledgeable colleagues has helped me grow professionally, think more strategically and approach challenges with greater confidence. The exposure and responsibilities I received here have played a meaningful role in shaping my professional foundation and outlook.

My time at Athena Advisors was a mix of rigorous learning, collaborative teamwork, and memorable moments of fun with amazing peers. Satish Sir (SM) being my first boss and an amazing mentor has played a pivotal role in helping me develop essential consulting skills while building a strong foundation in the Credit Information and Mortgage sector. His leadership style, encouragement, and constant support created an environment where learning felt natural and growth felt inevitable. It was a privilege to get mentorship from an expert who is in the industry from past 50 years. The exposure I received through diverse and challenging assignments allowed me to understand the domain deeply while also developing a structured, analytical, and problem-solving mindset. I am also grateful to Mitushi for her constant support and role in my learning and knowledge development as it made the learning curve smoother and far more meaningful. The culture at Athena strikes a perfect balance between high-quality work and warmth, making every assignment both engaging and fulfilling.

Working at Athena Advisors. has been an incredible learning journey. Starting as a Business Analyst and ascending to the role of COO at a young age would not have been possible without the confidence and support the organization instilled in me. Each day brought something new far from mundane tasks, keeping me continuously engaged and motivated. Special thanks to my mentor, Satish Mehta, whose guidance helped transform me from somewhat reserved individual into a confident person. Whatever knowledge I possess today in Housing Finance and Credit Information is due to Athena and Satish Mehta. My stint at Athena has been one of my most fulfilling chapters filled with growth, learning, and enjoyment.

Athena helped me mould essential skills required in consulting while giving me a robust understanding of the Credit Information and Mortgage sector. My time at Athena helped me grow professionally and personally and I am extremely grateful for having an opportunity to work here.

Working for Athena was a very enriching experience for me. Although a boutique consultancy firm, it was through Athena that I got to work on my maiden Credit Bureau assignment and that too an overseas one. By virtue of the assignments I worked on during my stint here, I not only learned and developed skills related to my domain but also got exposure to cross functional learning which has helped in overall growth in my career. Founder of Athena - Mr Satish Mehta (SM as we call him) has always been very encouraging and has extended all the support needed to take any assignment to its successful closure. My time here was a mixed bag of work as well as light moments and fun team activities which I will always cherish.
