About

I am a macro research analyst with 6.5 years of experience across financial markets, empirical economics, and policy research. At D. E. Shaw, I support the Global fixed income and economics desk, where my work focuses on building data-driven frameworks and automated tools to help traders understand supply–demand dynamics, policy risks, and market structure, spanning areas such as Japanese bond market, U.S. treasury, EM capital flows, and etc. I regularly deliver rapid-turnaround analysis on political and macro developments and produce deep-dive thematic research across technology, regulation, sovereign debt, and financial markets. Before D. E. Shaw, I worked in research roles across CAFRAL, XKDR Forum, and EXL, developing strong foundations in empirical economics, data analysis, and policy research. I am an IIT Kharagpur graduate and enjoy working at the intersection of markets, policy, and quantitative analysis.
