About

I am a currently working as Financial Analyst (Middle Office)@ Arcesium India pvt limited (D.E.Shaw Group). Prior to MBA 42 months of experience in application development for major financial institutions around the world helped me to develop keen interest in Finance. At the same time client interactions during my work experience and marketing courses in the first few months of MBA helped me realize the importance of understanding consumers and developing strategies to reach them efficiently for success of any business. It motivated me to know more about marketing through a major in Marketing. I was involved in live projects and business school competitions to get a more real time picture of business. I ardently follow economic trends, marketing campaigns throughout the world to remain updated. I have always been a sports person which has developed a go-getter attitude in me. I thrive to learn through challenges.
