I'm a Sr. credit risk analyst currently working with Apollo Agriculture.
What I'm looking for
As a seasoned Credit Risk Analyst with an MBA in Finance & Marketing from IIM Bodhgaya, I specialize in credit underwriting, risk assessment, and financial analysis for lending products. With hands-on experience at Ninjacart and ICICI Bank, I have assessed and monitored diverse credit portfolios, optimized underwriting processes, and developed data-driven risk models that enhanced decision-making and reduced default rates. Skilled in SQL, Python, and financial modeling, I leverage automation and analytics to drive efficiency in credit evaluation and collections. Passionate about strengthening credit risk frameworks, I thrive at the intersection of data, strategy, and risk management. Open to new opportunities in credit risk and lending analytics—let's connect!
