DTU

Building the Foundation

At DTU, I built my foundation in finance while consistently pushing myself academically. Graduating near the top of my batch became my first strong proof that discipline and sustained effort could compound.

Early Exposure

Entering the Markets

Through Anmol Securities, Edelweiss and Axis Bank, I explored markets from three different angles: daily research, investor education and derivatives. I progressed from interpreting market movements to building models that demonstrated how different financial strategies behave.

  • 40+ market notes

  • 60+ page investor guide covering 30+ concepts

  • Payoff models for 8+ hedging strategies

Qualified While Working

I prepared for and cleared both parts of the CMA qualification while working full time. Managing professional responsibilities alongside the examinations taught me to sustain effort across long timelines rather than depend on short bursts of motivation.

Certified Coursework

Alongside work and my postgraduate programme, I have kept adding formal coursework — most recently a certification programme through IIM Ranchi. Structured courses keep my fundamentals sharp and force me to learn subjects properly rather than picking them up in fragments.

Learning How Businesses Work

At Mosaic Media's VCCEdge, I moved from analysing information to solving research, workflow and client problems for investment banks, private equity firms and venture capitalists. I learned that strong analysis matters only when it is timely, accessible and useful.

Entering the Deal Room

At Dexter, I entered front-end investment banking and learned that deal execution extends beyond financial models. It involves understanding the company, identifying relevant investors, building a persuasive narrative and maintaining disciplined outreach.
