Profile
I am a finance professional with hands-on experience across the full investment lifecycle — from deal sourcing and market mapping to financial modelling, IC memo preparation, and portfolio monitoring.

My work combines quantitative rigour with a deep understanding of India's macroeconomic landscape, capital markets, and the structural themes shaping the next decade of private investment.
