Nalla graduated with a Bachelor of Accountancy Degree from the National University of Singapore in 1988. He is a Chartered Accountant registered with the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants.

Nalla hopes to see a more compassionate Singapore where every Singaporean matters and Singapore’s prosperity benefits all Singaporeans rather than a select few. He believes that there is an urgent need for alternative voices in Parliament to strengthen the system, which will be good for Singapore in the longer term.
