About

Experienced and performance driven professional with extensive exposure across multiple asset classes, including Equities, Fixed Income, Derivatives, and Commodities, supporting both buy side and sell side operations. Currently working at Morgan Stanley as an Associate in Derivatives Clearing Operations, where my role sits at the intersection of Risk, Middle Office, and Trading Operations. I support high-volume and HFT driven trading environments by ensuring accurate trade capture, post trade validation, margining, and clearing across global markets. I work closely with Front Office, Risk, Product Control, Technology, and Client Service teams to identify, investigate, and resolve top-day and T+ breaks, mitigate operational and counterparty risks, and ensure alignment between front office positions and downstream systems. I actively contribute to strengthening control frameworks through automation, improving STP rates, reducing manual intervention, and enhancing data accuracy. Previously, I worked as a Senior Fund Accountant at Citco, managing institutional client portfolios with a strong focus on valuation control, NAV oversight, and risk mitigation. I served as a primary point of contact for a key client, overseeing cash, position, and price reconciliations, validating securities valuation using multiple pricing sources, and ensuring timely and accurate delivery within strict SLAs. This role strengthened my understanding of valuation risk, market risk impacts, and control driven operating models. Backed by a Certification in Investment Banking Operations and a degree from Pune University, I bring a strong foundation in capital markets with a growing specialization in risk analysis, middle office controls, and derivatives lifecycle management. I strongly believe in people management, cross functional collaboration, and teamwork as essential drivers of a resilient risk and control culture.
