What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply business economics research and advanced Excel/Power BI to analyze energy, carbon, and market volatility—while delivering rigorous financial analysis and audit-quality discipline to support data-backed decisions.

I’m a research-driven Business Economics professional with published expertise in Scopus-ranked journals, where I analyze energy price shocks, carbon emissions, and macroeconomic volatility. I combine rigorous literature reviews and large-scale time-series/qualitative data processing to translate complex findings into actionable, policy-focused insights.

I also bring strong finance and assurance execution from my CA journey, having completed end-to-end statutory audits and limited reviews under Ind AS for a public debt-listed NBFC and 10+ entities. As an internal audit and reporting contributor, I evaluated Internal Financial Controls (IFC), drafted consolidated financial statements involving cross-holdings, and produced comprehensive CARO and audit reports, backed by leadership as Economics Association President.
