“That move to marketing has been a major step in my life. We realised that technology

is disrupting all sectors, including financial services, and we realised that there is an

opportunity to create something new, which is bringing the big players with the

technology companies, to co-create solutions that are specific for the new segment of
customers, who are our kids.

"So when there was an opportunity to launch a fintech initiative at DIFC, I stepped up. I

was curious about combining technology and financial services. It was something that I
haven't really done. But I was aware of the opportunities, and I took the initiative.”

Having established the region’s most successful and innovative fintech ecosystem at

DIFC, the FinTech Hive, Raja today is an accomplished leader in the world of fintech.

She has been credited with crafting innovative strategies that have become the driving

force behind ECI's transformative goals. As she works to take ECI to greater heights, she

is also developing her own fintech solution.

“There’s no stop line; there's no deadline," she said, offering inspiration and invaluable

advice to women. "Sometimes you have to slow down because other things are

happening. Sometimes you can accelerate, and it's okay. Just make sure that what you
are doing is aligned with your purpose. Opportunities will come. You have to be present

and show up when they come.”
