Prerna Khemlani on Building This Girl Invests

Brown Game Strong

Prerna is a chartered accountant and also the founder of This Girl Invests, an incredible educational platform aimed at providing women with financial freedom through jargon-free content that explains all aspects of personal finance and investing in a digestible format. I am proud to say that Prerna is also Spanish Sindhi, grew up between the Canary Islands and Madrid and now lives in London and is my dear friend of 12+ years now!

In this episode we chat about everything from our MSN days to what Prerna's experience was like moving to the UK and what propelled her to make the choice to study Pharmacology and then work in Audit in a Big 4 firm and eventually create a side hustle where she provides people with financial literacy. I've learnt so much from speaking to her about how to manage my spending / saving and we also discuss why it's so important for women specifically to know how to invest and why women in South Asian communities (especially the Sindhi community from our personal experience) were typically not equipped with this knowledge in the past. We hope this is now changing!

Prerna's great tips have drastically improved how I view and manage my finances and whilst it's known that you can obtain this knowledge from a bit of googling, the beauty of her work is that it's all in one place and you know you'll understand it all pretty much on the first try.
