Most of what I do comes from wanting to understand how things work: how people make choices, how systems hold together or come apart, and why some ideas last while others fade.
That curiosity pulls me toward markets. How capital moves, how businesses are valued, and where the assumptions quietly break.
I spent a year in the Valuation, Modelling and Economics team at EY, building financial models and running DCF, comparable-company and precedent-transaction analyses for M&A targets, including two live transactions of around INR 3 billion and 600 million dollars. I also valued the holdings of private equity funds and InvITs across real estate, infrastructure, metals and IT. The work trained a particular discipline: being precise about inputs, and honest about what a model actually tells you versus what you want it to say.
After that I joined BCG, where I worked across the full lifecycle of how a new Indian mid-market PE fund is built from the ground up. I helped shape its investment thesis across nine sectors, built the case for live deals it was preparing to back, ran outreach to more than 200 LPs across seven geographies, and worked on commercial diligences spanning pharma manufacturing and large industrial markets. It gave me a ground-level view of how the industry actually works, from raising capital to forming a view on where to deploy it.
I have cleared CFA Level I (90+ percentile) and am completing CA Final, having placed All India Rank 31 in the CA Intermediate exams.
Outside work: fiction, cricket, football and travel. Strong opinions available on request.
