Aspiring finance professional with expertise in legislative and capital markets.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated finance professional with a strong background in legislative assistance and capital markets analysis. My experience as a Legislative Assistant to a five-time Member of Parliament has honed my skills in legislative research, policy analysis, and speech writing, contributing to national policy shaping. I was selected as one of the top 50 fellows from over 5,000 applicants for the prestigious LAMP Fellowship, where I supported parliamentary committee meetings and drafted key legislative documents.
Prior to my role in legislative assistance, I worked as a Global Capital Markets Analyst at Morgan Stanley, where I played a pivotal role in facilitating capital raising for various clients through IPOs and private placements. My contributions included creating client presentations, coordinating investor relations, and maintaining detailed transaction repositories. My efforts were recognized with the CEO Special Team Award in 2021 for delivering exceptional business value.
With a B.A. in Economics from Shri Ram College of Commerce, I have consistently excelled academically, ranking among the top students in my cohort. I am passionate about financial literacy and community engagement, having led initiatives to promote financial education in underserved areas. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a challenging finance role that allows for professional growth and impactful contributions.
