What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my equity research, portfolio analysis, valuation, and market-analysis skills in an investment-focused role where I can support informed client and investment decisions.

I've supported investment decisions at Artham Investments, reviewing client portfolios, analyzing risk and performance attribution, and researching 200+ equity and mutual fund schemes. I also tracked global market trends, commodities, and sector growth opportunities for advisor conversations and review decks.

My work spans equity research, valuation, financial modelling, trade execution, and investment communication through roles at Valcreate and Emkay Global. I'm pursuing the CFA charter after clearing Levels I and II on my first attempt, and I led a team to place 14th globally in the Bloomberg Trading Challenge 2024.
