About

Computer Science graduate from VIT Vellore, transitioning into finance and strategy, with a growing interest in how technology and AI are reshaping business decision-making. My experience spans financial analysis, anti-money laundering (AML), and M&A strategy. I’ve worked on cross-border transaction risk models and evaluated the strategic rationale behind a ~USD 35 billion banking merger, where I challenged the prevailing cost-synergy narrative and built the case for digital-capability value instead. I also built a privacy-preserving ML platform combining differential privacy and LLM-assisted classification, work that’s been submitted to IEEE. Across all of this, my approach stays the same: combine analytical rigor with structured thinking to move from data to insight, and from insight to action. I’m an incoming MSc Finance student at Warwick Business School and a CFA Level I candidate, building further at the intersection of finance, strategy, and applied AI. Long term, I want to work where these three things meet — helping organizations navigate complex decisions, adopt new technology with judgment, and create lasting value. Areas of interest: • Strategy Consulting • Investment Banking & M&A • AI & Business Transformation • Financial Decision-Making
