What I'm looking for

I'm looking to deepen my equity research work, applying fundamental analysis, valuation, financial modelling, and sector research to investment decisions.

At Abans Finance, I conduct fundamental research and valuation analysis for global companies, with a primary focus on Indian and U.S. markets. I deliver quarterly results updates and financial analysis for portfolio companies.

I've developed broad knowledge of KPIs and market drivers across BFSI, hospitals, and retail jewellery, and I've written commodity-focused articles and concise presentations.

Previously at Poonawalla Fincorp, I evaluated borrower creditworthiness through financial statements, credit reports, repayment capacity, collateral, ratios, and trends. I identified credit risks, opportunities, and mitigants.

My audit experience at Pipara & Co LLP spans listed and private businesses, government entities, PSU banks, U.S. OTC-listed companies, and multinational entertainment businesses. I've worked across IGAAP, US GAAS, SOX, ISA, and US GAAP while supporting statutory, concurrent, special-purpose, financial, and stock audits.
