India is the Co-Founder and CEO of Xelda. She achieved 625/625 in the 2014 Leaving Certificate. This placed her in the 99.99th percentile of all leaving cert students and demonstrates commitment, ambition and tenacity. India is fluent in French and Spanish having lived in Switzerland for a year and completed the DELF exams up to B2 level. India was awarded First Class Honours in Economics from Trinity College Dublin and the Bastable Prize for the best Economics degree in the whole graduation year. She was awarded a gold medal for exceptional results. Given Xelda is built for SMEs and enables them to automate their finances and operations, India's background in Economics is extremely important. She moved to London and worked in investment banking in Goldman Sachs. She was an analyst on the Interest Rate Hedge Fund sales desk and was shortly promoted to associate. India's experience in Goldman Sachs was integral to teaching her how to work under pressure, to be analytical, to pay attention to detail and to manage client relationships
