I'm a CFA Charterholder and an analyst at a buy-side investment management firm in Mumbai, where I cover Indian consumer businesses — staples and discretionary. …
My work is finding high-quality businesses early: studying how an industry works, what makes a company's advantage last, and building the financial models to judge its long-term value. Beyond my core coverage, I study global consumer franchises and consumer technology companies, to understand how changing consumer behaviour, technology and business models are reshaping industries worldwide.
Before this, I worked in investor relations and forex research. I passed all three levels of the CFA Program on the first attempt, scoring above the 90th percentile in Levels I and II, and was awarded the charter in January 2026. I studied commerce at Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government Arts and Commerce College, Indore.
Outside work, I play badminton and chess against competitive players, and read widely.
