What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values teamwork, and offers opportunities to apply my analytical skills in finance.

As a graduate from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, I have developed a solid foundation in materials science and engineering, complemented by my passion for finance and analytics. My academic journey has been marked by significant achievements, including clearing CFA Level 1 with a score in the top 90 percentile and securing impressive ranks in competitive exams like JEE Advanced and JEE Mains.

My professional experience includes internships at JBG Ventures and Plutus Business Advisory, where I honed my skills in market research, financial modeling, and investment analysis. I successfully conducted valuation reporting for over 20 startups and developed comprehensive financial models, which have equipped me with the ability to deliver data-driven insights and strategic recommendations. Additionally, I have led projects that involved stock price prediction and portfolio optimization, showcasing my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.

I am eager to leverage my analytical skills and finance knowledge in a dynamic work environment that values innovation and growth. I thrive in collaborative settings and am committed to contributing to team success while continuously enhancing my expertise in the finance sector.
