Our Story
Mission
Monisha & Shirley met 17 years ago as undergrads about to embark on their first corporate jobs together. Their friendship has survived 12 moves across Canada, India, Singapore and South Africa, 16 job changes, 4 pets, motherhood, divorce and life’s ups and downs.
They've been in debt, suddenly lost their jobs, taken less salary than they should have and overpaid for many things!
They've made all the financial mistakes that you think someone who works in Financial Services wouldn't.
It made them realize that there are finance basics that everyone should know - and that its not just the jargon but also behavioural psychology that works against us when we are trying to get better with our money.
It motivated them to start Make it Shine and make personal finance accessible to all.
