What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role as a Financial Analyst where I can apply my quantitative, analytical, and execution skills—working with a strong team to drive disciplined decision-making, manage risk effectively, and contribute to measurable growth.

I’m a finance-focused professional seeking a role as a Financial Analyst, driven by my strong analytical and quantitative skills. I aim to use my knowledge and capabilities to support organizational growth.

In my current role at Algoquant (Growth Securities Pvt Ltd), I execute high-volume arbitrage trades using firm capital while staying strictly within risk parameters. I’ve worked to maximize ROI through precise execution and improved execution speed, reducing slippage and managing large-scale liquidity through the firm’s internal trading architecture.

I also develop and implement diverse trading strategies to generate consistent alpha in volatile market conditions. Alongside execution, I strengthen my market understanding through structured learning across equity derivatives, technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and broader capital market concepts.

My background includes an Economics Honours degree and a Diploma in Financial Market Management (DFMM), a 6-month industry-oriented program focused on end-to-end stock market operations. I bring a disciplined, results-oriented approach to trading and financial analysis, supported by certifications like NISM-Series-VIII and NCFM modules.
