What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a finance role where I can apply strategic management and corporate finance skills—benchmarking KPIs, building stakeholder-ready analyses, and using tools like Power BI and Bloomberg Market Concepts to support growth and risk-smart decisions.

I’m a finance and strategic management professional and an ACCA National Finalist, with experience translating complex quantitative data into stakeholder-ready insights. In my corporate finance peer benchmarking work for PayU, I evaluated 15+ KPIs across revenue, TPV, and EBITDA, identified monetization and cost-optimization gaps, and produced improvement-oriented benchmarking outputs.

I build my analyses on strong fundamentals from investment and accounting projects—covering mutual fund diversification, SIP growth/compounding, and the impact of NPAs on profitability while referencing BASEL III considerations. I’m also hands-on with tools and frameworks like Bloomberg Market Concepts & ESG and Power BI, and I enjoy pairing structured reporting with practical, execution-focused problem solving.
