What I'm looking for

I’m looking to solve complex finance and operational problems through scalable controls, automation, risk analysis, and measurable business outcomes.

At Goldman Sachs, I oversee alternative-investment fund controls across $1.6B AUM, where I identified a $20M carried-interest accrual gap and helped prevent an 8% reduction in fund returns. I’ve also improved quarter-end efficiency by 27–33% and built controls that strengthened reporting integrity across complex global funds.

Before Goldman Sachs, I delivered statutory audits, internal audits, tax planning, and regulatory advisory at Rajiv Udai and Associates and S.N. Dhawan & Co. LLP. My work uncovered ₹32 Cr in savings potential, ₹3.5 Cr in GST savings, ₹203 Cr in tax and non-regulatory exposure, and a ₹2,700 Cr cash discrepancy.

I’m a Chartered Accountant pursuing a PGP in Technology & Business Management at Masters’ Union, with a practical interest in scalable financial systems, operational problem-solving, and business building through projects such as a home cloud bakery and photography portfolio.
