About

I am a Quantitative Risk Analyst at J.P. Morgan, where I work on model risk validation for Interest Rate models. I collaborate with model developers, users, and stakeholders to assess the model performance, limitations, and assumptions, and provide recommendations for improvement. I ensure the models comply with regulatory standards and best practices, and contribute to the risk governance and management of the firm. My passion for Finance stems from my MBA degree from IIM Ahmedabad, one of the top business schools in India, where I specialized in Finance and Strategy. I gained a strong foundation in valuation and risk management of derivatives, which I applied during my internship at Edelweiss Wealth Management, where I optimized the equity investment deployment strategy for a customized product, resulting in a 79% improvement in acquisition price. I am always eager to learn and explore new trends, innovations, and opportunities in the Financial Markets, which I believe have the potential to contribute to the world's economic development and social welfare. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a knack for fostering teamwork and synergy among diverse groups. I am open to new challenges and opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills and expertise in Financial Markets, whether it's Trading, Structuring, or Origination. Let's connect and share insights, discuss potential collaborations, or how we can collectively make a meaningful impact.
