About

I have 11 years of research and trading experience in the Indian Financial Markets. My work involved constant analysis of equity, currency as well as commodity markets and generating trading and investment ideas. I have built live market tracking and trading algorithms using Python and SQL. Equity research, derivatives and technical analysis are the key pillars of my overall research philosophy. My analysis also includes studying the economic cycle and Intermarket analysis to figure out the structure of the markets. I also have cleared all the Chartered Market Technician exams held by the Market Technicians Association of New York. 10 years of entrepreneurial experience have given me an exposure to all the skills required to execute successful projects. Having trained and mentored more than 2000 finance students and also having conducted 100+ guest lectures in MBA schools all over India and am very comfortable and adept at addressing large groups.
