I am passionate about the intersection of education and public policy, driven by a desire to explore how policymakers can leverage educational initiatives to alleviate social inequalities. Currently, I work as an associate in the Fundamental Equity team at Goldman Sachs within their Asset & Wealth Management Division, where I apply my analytical skills and financial expertise to help increase the efficiency with which the team respond to quantitative queries by automating them using python so that the team can work on producing more impactful qualitative thought pieces on the investment product, industry and the landscape. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Technology from SASTRA University in Thanjavur, followed by an MBA from NMIMS Mumbai. During my undergraduate years, I embraced entrepreneurship by launching Davara, a campus startup support platform that assisted budding entrepreneurs in growing their ventures within our college community.As I aspire to pursue a PhD in public policy, my goal is to contribute meaningfully to the field, ideally in a role that allows me to create positive impact at the grassroots level. I believe in the power of interdependency over independence, and I am committed to fostering collaboration in my work.Outside of my professional pursuits, I am a car enthusiast and avid bike rider, always eager to plan my next adventure across India. I love engaging in diverse conversations, whether they’re about the latest K-dramas or the intricacies of public policy. Let’s connect over a cup of coffee or tea—I’m always open to discussing ideas and exploring new perspectives!
