Equity Research and Trader

A strategy, finance and problem solving enthusiast, learner and people’s person of sorts. My inclination towards the world of stocks, investments, and everything around it landed me to an internship at RADDS Enterprises where I worked as an Equity trader and analyst, managing 5 clients and their portfolio investments around Equity and derivatives. I am an avid reader of articles that speak volumes and new ideas around philosophy, finance, tech and psychology. This persuaded me to pen down my ideas and concepts which I try to put forward in my blog www.marketsandmuse.blogspot.com. All of this helped me sail through my lectures during my Bachelor’s in Financial Markets at SK Somaiya, Mumbai University thus being an ace student.

Currently, I work at Morningstar. My role here as Data Research Analyst in Equity Operations (Canada and USA) asks of me to have very good understanding of the fundamental data for companies’ income statement, cash flow statement, balance sheet, and other fundamental data sets. I am responsible to drive continuous improvement within the process through quality initiatives, collecting and analyzing equity fundamentals data for global market and taking ownership in data quality controls to ensure consistent and high-quality data are manufactured to meet product requirements.

Recently I am venturing spaces like Robotic automation, data visualization, data massaging and have hence gotten hands on with tools like UiPath, Power BI, Power Query, SQL and a little bit around Knime.

In my free time you can find me producing electronic music. I am an internationally recognized electronic music producer, covered in couple of music magazine and radio interviewed On Air by Tribe FM 91.1, Australia, in 2020. My passion towards art also led me to learn 3D concept designing and I freelance as graphic designer and concept artist. I follow nerdwriter1, a staunch connoisseur of Hans Zimmer, an appreciator of louvre paintings, electronic music and an avid learner all in all.
