About

I am a driven MSc Finance graduate currently working as a Chief of Staff at Ambak. I have also completed all 3 levels of the CFA program. I have a solid foundation in financial analysis and a deep understanding of the banking landscape in India and Asia. My expertise lies in leveraging financial data to drive strategic decision-making and deliver impactful insights. Through my extensive experience at BCG, I have honed my skills in problem-solving, data analysis, and communication, enabling me to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and deliver tailored solutions to clients. On the personal side, I enjoy traveling and am an ardent follower of Formula 1 and football. I am also an Ironman triathlete (1.9km swim, 90km cycle and 21.1km run).
