Armaan Mahakul — Business Development Executive
I'm FRM Part I certified Final-year MSc Mathematics student at NIT Rourkela, sitting at the intersection of quantitative analysis, product thinking, and business strategy. Currently interning at Futures First in Global Markets, where I translate EIA and OPEC intelligence into structured forecasting frameworks — decomposing time-series patterns, modelling macroeconomic risk scenarios, and producing decision-ready outputs on WTI and Brent dynamics. My work spans three domains, and I like that deliberately: Data & Analytics — time-series forecasting, cohort modelling, A/B testing design, KPI hierarchy frameworks, and ensemble models. I have built hybrid models for NIFTY50 that hit 89% directional accuracy, and a portfolio optimiser covering 150+ configurations with Sharpe ratios exceeding 1.4x benchmark. Product — I think in funnels, retention curves, and North Star Metrics. From PRDs to go-to-market phasing, I've designed products like BehaviourMirror (0-to-1 AI PRD) and run full growth teardowns on Zomato and Stable Money — always anchored to revenue-grade outcomes, not vanity metrics. Strategy & Investing — competitive benchmarking, unit economics, moat identification. My Ather Energy investment thesis modelled FAME subsidy risk and EBITDA trajectory across multiple policy scenarios to arrive at a defensible view on long-term viability. If a problem has data behind it, I want to structure it. If it has a user behind it, I want to measure it. If it has money behind it, I want to model it.
