About Me:
I am a very curious and empathetic person, who loves meeting new people. I have always been good at academics. In college, I had an excellent GPA of 8.81 with multiple PoRs at a university level and at a department level. In 2020, I got an admit to IIM Indore, but I rejected it because I wasn't sure why I wanted to pursue an MBA. In 2021, I took a risk and switched from a stable multi-national consulting company to an Indian startup in the crypto space, in order to work in a fast-paced environment and gain product-business experience. For the past 1 year, I have been leading the analytics pod for a new investment platform in Indian Stocks. Spearheaded the analytics team during the 0 to 10 journey of the product, and now embarking on the 10-100 journey.
I love playing the guitar, and as a former quizzer I read the newspaper everyday.
Primarily, aiming for ISB-Hyderabad. Now that I have a decent score, I can also explore INSEAD, HEC Paris, NYU Stern, MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth and Kellog. Please let me know if my profile is competiive for these B-schools.
