Mayank Bansal — CEO
Among the largest portfolio managers in the options space in Indian Equities. My book primarily entails delta neutral gamma/ vega trades, stock result trades, dispersion, sectoral vol spreads, correlation trades. Very active in gamma trading in Banknifty/ Nifty/ Finnity, and also hold some of the most sizeable positions in Indian stocks. Along with this, I also explore opportunities in USDINR and US Equity options. I had earlier set up the US equities and Fx options desks for Edelweiss, which were entirely new geographies/ asset classes for the floor. These were two ambitious projects which were successfully brought to fruition. Both desks are now well established and charting a steep growth path. I had started off my career as a structurer in a 3 member team handling the largest AUM (3000 Cr) of structured notes in India. The desk issued exotics like barriers, autocalls, binaries, other bespoke products on different asset classes (Equities/ Commodities/ Currencies). Was involved in the structuring, pricing, hedging, overall pnl responsibilities of the desk. Academically, I have done MBA in finance from IIM Calcutta and B Tech from IIT Delhi. I have also cleared all 3 levels of CFA (US). I interned with the fx options desk at Nomura, Singapore during my MBA.
