What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my risk management expertise while fostering client relationships and driving strategic financial decisions.

I am a risk management professional with 4 years of experience specializing in market risk and derivatives trading. My journey began with a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kanpur, followed by an MBA from IIM Kozhikode. I am currently a Derivatives Trader at Essar Oil UK, where I have successfully designed hedging strategies to manage a monetized inventory of over $40 million.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to implement risk management frameworks, including Value at Risk (VaR) and drawdown thresholds, aligning them with desk policies. My analytical skills have been pivotal in reducing transaction costs significantly and improving hedging programs, saving my organization substantial amounts annually. I take pride in my ability to foster robust client relationships and deliver actionable insights through comprehensive data analysis.
