The cells of derivatives instruments, risk management, strategic thinking and making investment decisions in my brain directed me towards studying for CFA and FRM. Have been incredibly lucky to have graduated from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata. I put my skills of dogged determination, constant curiosity and unbridled creativity in use by taking part and winning major business fests. I flew a paper plane in class once, only to end up flying off to Mumbai to work as a Deputy Manager at ICICI Bank in the Treasury Department. My work profile involved dealing with derivative instruments such as forwards, money market instruments and forex.Returned to the city of joy, started working at PwC in the Real Estate team of Financial Markets department. I got involved in projects involving real estate valuation, cost models, PPA models, preparing memos and appraisal report analysis. I’m always up for talking about Manchester United, stock markets, gadgets, endearing dog videos, sneakers, books and the importance of chai and pakode on a rainy evening.
