About

Hello! Nice to meet you! I'm a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Level 1 certified professional with a passion for finance and turning complex data into actionable insights. I earned my MBA from the prestigious Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore, where I delved into subjects like statistics, project management, and B2B marketing. In my corporate journey, I've worn various hats, from Finance Operations Manager to Project Lead, utilizing tools like SAP FICO and Excel. I've led teams to financial success, improved efficiency, and managed budgets effectively. Beyond numbers, I'm into fitness, holding a certification in the Science of Exercise. I'm also fascinated by the stock market's dynamics and human behavior. Outside work, I wear a teaching cape, helping students in government schools with English and Math. I've gathered a range of certifications, from Lean Six Sigma to Google Analytics, and explored strategy with Boston Consulting Group. Let's connect and collaborate to create some financial magic together! If you've read this far, we should definitely stay connected!
