I’m a corporate finance and transaction support professional with six years working across capital-intensive real estate, focused on model-led decisioning. I build 3-statement and LBO models from scratch to optimize capital stacks and drive actionable WACC analysis.

At Alpine Infratech, I structured a ₹40 Cr senior debt facility for the ₹278 Cr GMR Springfield project, improving the capital stack through a 200bps WACC reduction. I managed dual lender and sponsor mandates using DSCR sensitivity analysis and multi-scenario stress testing, and I maintained zero technical defaults through proactive covenant monitoring.

Earlier, I owned FP&A and stakeholder reporting—building rolling cash flow forecasts, operating budgets, and working capital models tied to construction drawdown schedules. I also redesigned reporting processes with 15–20% efficiency gains through automation, strengthening internal controls and improving decision-making across Finance, Sales, and Operations.

I support debt structuring and execution through due diligence inputs, pitch book & investment memo preparation, and board-level reporting under US GAAP/IFRS. I’m an active CMA candidate, targeting an execution-dense role in Investment Banking or Private Equity where I can translate underwriting rigor into durable deal performance.
