Research Assistant 

I, Deepak, want to build a rapport and relationship with you. For which, I am willing to put in consistent and thoughtful work. 

Why should you trust my judgement? Because I have a lifetime of experience, overcoming unspeakable obstacles, and thriving under pressure.

I am not asking for your money, although I run a personal financial advisory, or that you support me through any consequence. Just that you listen to what I have to say.

Through a lifetime of learning law, ethics, business and religion, I know how to bring things into perspective.

Because changing your perspective, through putting in work is, my business.
