After completing a five-year dual-degree program (B.A. - LL.B. Hons. - JD equivalent) from India's top Ivy League Law School in 2013, I joined as an officer in a government corporation responsible for implementing infrastructure development projects funded by public funds and debt from infrastructure development banks. During the first half of the last decade of my career, I focused on public policy, market regulation, and investment advisory services, working closely with government ministries, regulatory bodies, and government-owned businesses (corporations) with total investments exceeding 200 billion USD between 2014 and 2019. During this period, my team was also managing investment transactions totalling over 25 billion USD.


In the latter half of the last decade, I worked in various capacities as an advisor and policy & regulatory specialist in the energy and power utility sector. I provided advisory to private investors, venture capital funds, sovereign funds, corporations, and entrepreneurs operating in renewable power markets, power generation, power distribution, and the energy transition space. As a professional advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of India, I held the position of Senior Associate & Head of Regulatory & Policy Advocacy at Trilegal, a Tier-I (domestic) Law Firm known for its excellence in Energy & Infrastructure practices. As a policy advocacy expert, I advised both corporations and government ministries on a variety of policy issues at Trilegal.

In the past year, I achieved the distinction of becoming the youngest Assistant Vice President (by at least a decade) in one of the group companies of Vedanta Ltd. and played a key role in structuring new investments totalling USD 550 million.

In addition to my professional accomplishments, I have actively contributed to various academic and pro-bono initiatives. One significant initiative involved volunteering for three consecutive years with the Global Clean-tech Innovation Programme of UNIDO, where, I served on a panel of mentors and advised up to 30 start-ups each year, working on innovative and groundbreaking technologies in sustainable development, waste management, energy sustainability, natural resources, agriculture, and related sectors.

Given my extensive experience in the energy, infrastructure, and sustainable development sectors, particularly in the areas of investment, policy, and regulatory, I believe I am well-positioned to pursue unconventional opportunities and make a substantial contribution to a more sustainable and energy-secure world. An MBA from a leading global business school will provide me an opportunity to make global footprints in my domain expertise. I also believe that there is no better time to pursue MBA if you desire to contribute for building more sustainable future, because the world today is experiencing a transitional change in the manner we see our energy needs and sovereign energy security.
