ABOUT ME
I'm a penultimate year student at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), pursuing the BSc Economics program. My academic background in finance and accounting focuses on business analytics, corporate finance strategy and equity valuation using CCA, DDM, and DCF models. I've gained practical experience through internships at Grant Thornton in M&A Advisory, AnandRathi in Wealth Management, and a virtual internship at Fidelity International in International Investment Management.
My research interests extend to sustainable and green supply chains and the economic impact of COVID-19 on various economies, with several co-authored research papers in these areas.
I've held leadership positions as the Head of Corporate Outreach at the LSESU Economics Society, as a student body prefect at TISB, as the president of the TISB Economics Club, the editor-in-chief of Echonomix magazine, and multiple subcommittee positions at LSE. I am the founder of SustainAbility, an online platform promoting sustainable living with the aim of catalysing climate awareness in local communities and advocating to reduce global carbon emissions.
Beyond academics, I have a keen interest in the German language, photography, and biking. I'm passionate about expanding my knowledge in Investment Banking and Capital Markets.

Author, Die Odyssee Nach Indien
In today's world, globalisation has made countries more interconnected and interdependent. This has motivated people to promote cultural exchange between different nations and exchange beliefs and traditions from other countries. This book introduces various traditional Indian festivals and the history behind them as a method to promote interculturalism.
This book, Die Odyssee Nach Indien: Indische Feste attempts to provide a brief history of the various festive traditions associated with Indian festivals, supplemented by pictures, for anyone who wishes to immerse themselves in the vibrancy and festivity of India.
SUSTAINABILITY
Rotary Environment Award
I was recognised for my contributions and active collaboration with Rotary Club Bangalore Centennial on sustainability and environment-related activities.
My platform SustainAbility has actively partnered with Rotary Bangalore to launch various initiatives such as our Tree Plantation Drive, No-Spitting Initiative, and Pedal for Planet, Pedal for Health cycling event.

CYCLING
Pedal for Planet, Pedal for Health Cycling Event
I organised a cycling rally in partnership with six Rotary Clubs, three Rotaract Clubs, and 2 NGOs. The event was a success and had a turnover of more than 250 participants. The rally was flagged off by Medha Jayant, a Paralympic bronze medallist in short put. I also got an opportunity to address a crowed of about 100 people on climate change and encouraged them to adopt a sustainable lifestyle.
