Sunaina Mehla is the founder of Canvas Solutions. Her view of the world has been shaped by an upbringing as a defence forces kid who spent time in the North, South, East and West of this country.
She is a Mechanical Engineer from the University of Kurukshetra who also converted the degree into practical experience in the oil services & processes industry. She continues to foster her inkling for mechanical engineering by constantly assembling and disassembling gadgets and furniture where she can get to work on her prized Bosch Power Tools kit.
She followed up the engineering experience with an MBA from BIMTECH with a focus on marketing. Despite her efforts to be in a marketing role, she landed up in financial services sales, leading to a multi year stint selling Mutual funds at IDFC Asset Mgmt. and Life Insurance at Bajaj Allianz. It taught her the nuances of financial markets, the arduous process of capital raising and empathy to understand the mindsets of financial investors. At the same time, she felt a disconnect in the world of arcane financial products and wanted to pursue a future that made her feel more connected to the real world.
Outside of the "work and educational experience" sections, Sunaina has been a keen sportsperson with a passionate love for basketball and an equally passionate disdain for cricket. She also happens to have learned classical Indian dance forms and is an amateur painter and sketch artist. The website of Canvas Solutions is in fact adorned with her artistic creations on real world canvases!
Her diverse experiences from childhood to the present day has helped build a heightened sense of perception and an ability to understand different points of view. Her training, skills and interests have honed her ability to exercise both left brained practical abilities with right brained creativity in her approach to solving problems both in life and work.
That is exactly the solution set that she intends to bring to her clients via Canvas Solutions.
