What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Financial Analyst role where I can build multi-scenario models for valuation and investment reporting, use variance/KPI insights to improve decisions, and grow with mentorship in a finance-driven team.

I’m a finance-focused analyst with experience in financial modeling, IPO valuation, and investment analysis through my internship at SSPL Private Limited. I built a multi-scenario financial model for KRN Heat Exchangers’ IPO valuation, performed variance analysis and KPI benchmarking, and reviewed income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements to support valuation and forecasting.

Before my MBA, I managed finance and operations in a retail jewellery business (S.K.Jewelers), where I handled P&L reporting, budgeting/forecasting, monthly book closings, and cost variance analysis to identify expense trends and inefficiencies. I enjoy analyzing financial data and turning it into practical business insights, with a strong focus on structured reporting and decision-ready recommendations.
