A Day in the Life of Khushi Pathak, MFin '25

Khushi Pathak

Khushi Pathak, MFin ’25, was confident in pursuing a career in mathematics while earning two degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology, but it was a class in financial mathematics and a couple of internships in quantitative research and platform engineering that inspired her to enroll in the Master of Finance degree program at MIT Sloan.

“The MIT Sloan MFin program offers the perfect combination of rigor and flexibility for me to explore different avenues in finance, and it will give me a strong skillset to pursue a career in quantitative finance,” said Pathak, who grew up in Mumbai, India.

Also important to Pathak? A school with a global reputation and a strong alumni network. “The MFin program ticked all my boxes,” she said. “The coursework is challenging and exposes me to a lot of intricacies behind financial markets … and I’ve made great connections with other students at the Institute.”

Pathak opted to complete her degree in 18 months, which will allowed her to intern in the quantitative finance department at BNP Paribas in New York in the summer, as well as take additional courses, or use the additional time to write a thesis. She’s on track to graduate in February 2025.
