What I'm looking for

I’m motivated to build expertise in Finance, Investment Analysis, and Data Analytics, and to contribute to data-driven decision-making while continuing to learn across disciplines.

At Surendranath College, I built a foundation in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business, Management, and Taxation while studying for a B.Com (Major) in Accounting and Finance.

As a Trainee at Barrackpore Computer And Skill Development Centre, I developed practical Accounting and Finance skills using Tally Prime, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.

My interests include financial markets, business and economic research, and writing.

I also interned at National Youth Computer Training Academy (Bandel & Chandannagar), where I learned basic programming syntax and its applications in business. I'm focusing to build expertise in Finance, Investment Analysis, Data Analytics, and data-driven decision making.
