About

My career has been a journey of solving puzzles, first with circuits; now with companies. ​Starting in Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering, I loved the logic of systems. But I soon realized that the most complex variable isn't technical; it's human. As a Research Analyst at Synaptic and through the CFA program, I began looking past the spreadsheets to find the "why" behind every valuation: the people making difficult decisions under pressure. ​Now, at IMI Delhi, I’m combining that analytical rigor with a focus on leadership and risk. I’m a keen observer who prefers listening to diverse perspectives before turning them into strategy. ​I don't just look at the data; I look for the story it tells. Let’s connect and discuss the intersection of finance, psychology, and strategy.
