Finance-focused BBA candidate building equity research and macro-finance insights.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance and strategy-focused BBA (Hons.) candidate at TAPMI Bangalore, with a clear target on equity research, investment banking, and management consulting. I bring structured, model-backed thinking—pairing macro, geopolitical context, and financial analysis to reach investable conclusions.
As Founder & Lead Analyst of Project Meridian, I run a weekly macro-finance research initiative with an advisory board of senior professionals, delivering deep-dives plus one detailed financial model per edition to SME/MSME clients. I also built an online dashboard to track global freight movement and connect geopolitical conditions to end-user industry impacts.
I’ve complemented this research with practical, results-oriented work: executing 1,300+ structured outreach calls weekly as a Sales Intern and converting leads for a premium residential project. Alongside, I’m building research projects in macroeconomics (time use & monetary policy), corporate finance (cost of debt), and organisational behaviour, using R, MySQL, and Python to analyze large, complex datasets.
