Pranshu Dwivedi quit his 12-year Goldman Sachs career to become a stay-at-home dad in November — and he’s working harder than ever.

The 35-year-old swapped leading the Wall Street giant’s flagship conferences in the APAC region with making the morning tea for his wife, doing the school runs for his son, changing his daughter's nappies, folding laundry, doing grocery shopping and more.
