I’m Nikita Rana, a corporate emcee in mumbai working closely with leadership audiences across financial and institutional platforms. This edition of the NBFC Awards brought together senior decision makers, where the role of a corporate host was not to amplify energy but to create precision, pace, and context for meaningful exchange.

The conversation with Mr. Shaji Krishnan, Chairman, NABARD, was framed around formative leadership rather than headline achievements. As a corporate mc, my intent was to draw the audience into the early decisions that shaped his thinking. When he spoke about being posted to a rural branch in Haryana straight out of college, the room responded not with noise but with attention, which is often the clearest signal of relevance.

As an anchor in mumbai, I am conscious that senior professionals value structure over spectacle. Mr. Krishnan’s account of managing a rural branch within six months of joining, navigating cultural distance, language, and climate, required space rather than embellishment. The exchange worked because the focus remained on learning under pressure, not on dramatizing the experience.

This is where the perspective of a female emcee in mumbai becomes important. Leadership stories resonate most when they are allowed to unfold without interruption. The progression from culture shock to confidence was clear because the conversation stayed grounded, intentional, and audience aware.

My sincere thanks to Mr. Babu Nair, Publisher and Managing Director, Banking Frontiers, and Mr. Pramod Jadhao for the trust and the freedom to let the dialogue remain authentic and unforced.

If you are looking to hire anchor for event formats where credibility, restraint, and clarity matter, the right presence on stage shapes not just what is said, but how it is remembered.
