Ricky Rangra

Undergraduate scholarship student at the University of Sydney Business School, studying a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Finance and Economics.

My interest in the financial services industry was catalysed by my selection as a high school participant of the prestigious UBS Investment Banking Finance Academy in 2017, where I got to appreciate the role of the industry in a global context and its impact on lives around the world.

I believe in the power of the financial services industry as a transformative mechanism that enables individuals, families and communities to achieve their financial goals and aspirations. 

Following the Hayne Royal Commission, I hope to see the industry adopt innovative and well-intended frameworks to ensure that companies prioritise and do right by their stakeholders, whilst implementing models of ethics and values of the highest standard.

I believe that it is the duty of individuals currently employed in the industry to restore the societal trust that was negatively affected during the Royal Commission, and that the best way to do this is to service customers in good faith and with integrity.

My motivation for being a Young Ambassador is to promote the cause amongst my peers, and to utilise The BFO network to learn from industry leaders on how I can further contribute to tangible change.
