About
My name is Sonalika Pathak, and I hail from Narora, Uttar Pradesh. I began my academic journey at Atomic Energy Central School (AECS), Narora, where I not only laid the foundation of my education but also actively participated in a wide spectrum of co-curricular activities such as debates, dance, painting, quizzes, and more. These early years were instrumental in shaping my curiosity and confidence. I also proudly represented my school in prestigious competitions, having won Olympiads, qualified NTSE Stage 1, and enthusiastically taken part in FIITJEE Talent Tests, continuously pushing my boundaries through every opportunity available. I did my senior secondary schooling from Girl's high school ,AMU. My passion for life sciences led me to complete my B.Sc. (Hons.) in Zoology from AMU in 2023, where I remained actively involved beyond academics — hosting departmental events, participating in science exhibitions, and taking leadership roles in organizing student activities. However, my academic path took a transformative turn when I enrolled for an MBA in Financial Management at AMU, graduating in 2025. Coming from a pure science background, the transition into finance was not easy.I found myself lost amidst economic theories and financial jargons that initially felt foreign to me. But I leaned in harder. Through hours of self-study and a genuine curiosity about how the world of money and markets works, I gradually overcame the fear. Over time, I not only began to understand finance but fell in love with it particularly the intricate workings of financial markets, institutions, and securities. My growing interest found its true reflection in my MBA dissertation titled "Evaluating the Role of AI in Investment Strategies." As someone with a limited technical background, working with Python and machine learning models was another steep hill to climb. Yet, I persisted — learnt to code, applied sentiment analysis and forecasting models, and built a comprehensive hybrid model that combined quantitative and qualitative aspects of investment decision-making. Today, I stand as a professional with a diverse academic background which I believe allows me to approach problems with versatility and an open mind. Beyond academics and professional pursuits, I’m also a deeply curious and creative individual. I love observing, listening, dancing, singing, reading, and in truth,pretty much everything becomes my hobby. I believe life is meant to be explored, and I’m always open to learning something new whether it’s a skill, a field, or a perspective.
