Accelerated Access Student Experience Chats

Hi! I’m Ankita Punjani, a first-year MBA student at Berkeley Haas and a proud admit of the Accelerated Access program, through which I matriculated into the Full-Time MBA after four years.
I grew up in New Delhi and spent the early part of my career in Corporate & Investment Banking at J.P. Morgan Chase, followed by Private Equity Consulting at Bain & Company. Before Haas, I also explored early-stage investing through a pre-MBA role at Stellaris Venture Partners.
At Haas, I’m deepening my focus on tech, strategy, and innovation. I’m part of the International Business Development (IBD) program, serve as a Berkeley Board Fellow, and am excited about coursework in strategy, corporate finance, and AI. I’m also involved in the Consulting Club (VP Academics), Women in Leadership, the South Asian Business Association, and work as a Graduate Student Assistant for Accelerated Access – BHAA.
If you’d like to learn more about the Accelerated Access pathway or the Full-Time MBA experience, I’d be glad to connect.

Thanks, and GO BEARS!
