Senior business analyst specializing in capital markets, OTC derivatives, and trade lifecycle transformation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Business Analyst with 8+ years spanning Capital Markets, Investment Banking, and OTC Derivatives. I focus on end-to-end trade life cycle management, translating complex business needs into BRDs/FRDs and Agile user stories, and driving digital transformation initiatives.
Most recently at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), I led the SWIFT MT-to-MX migration for KSA, implementing Marking, Netting, Margin Enrichment, Exposure Handling, and Trade Settlement modules. Onsite in Saudi Arabia, I served as a bridge between business stakeholders and development teams—running requirement workshops and supporting UAT with test strategies and defect resolution.
Earlier, I orchestrated margin and collateral operations at NatWest Markets, resolving disputes tied to MTM discrepancies, delay settlement charges, interest claims, and corporate actions. I also strengthened portfolio reconciliation and reporting at Bank of America (BA Continuum) and managed OTC margin/trade lifecycle risk at Citicorp Services India, while building my continuous-improvement mindset through Agile BA, SAFe, and Six Sigma certifications.
