Looking back on his experience at the financial institution, Amin expressed in a LinkedIn post: "Among all the unconventional concepts I've conceived and implemented during my professional journey, I never could have imagined working for a banking institution”.
“During my initial meeting with Naarayan T V at IDFC FIRST Bank, I recall telling him, 'What makes you think I'm the right hire? My understanding of finance is terrible!' After two and a half years, I feel incredibly appreciative and thankful to him for providing me with this transformative opportunity and the experience of being part of one of India's premier banking institutions."

“Working at IDFC FIRST Bank has even improved my mathematical thinking — my chartered accountant, my investment advisor, and my father all tell me that my calculation speed with numbers is way faster than how financially dumb I was before joining the bank!”
Moving forward in his professional journey, Amin will go back to managing his company 010, a venture that assists brands, emerging businesses, and marketing firms in developing campaign ideas and producing content.
