About Us

Founder, Bhavik Jeena

Born in South Africa, Bhavik immigrated to Australia after high school in 2004, and enrolled in first year university. The idea was curated after having experienced challenges that are unsurprisingly shared by thousands of university students abroad – new environment, too many new faces, everyone’s on busy schedules, and limited time or opportunities to mingle. Unfortunately, these have the potential to be distracting and can adversely impact grades. BuddyPhi was created to overcome these challenges.

Bhavik currently works as an Investment Associate at a major US private equity firm. Prior roles include Financial Modelling Manager at a global consulting firm (infrastructure and energy), Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory at Barclays Investment Bank (infrastructure and energy), and Senior Associate (Credit Risk) for financial institutions at Macquarie Group. Whilst at university, Bhavik was actively involved in numerous initiatives involving entrepreneurship, leadership, financial markets, and investment – and he is driven by his passion for deep value creation.
