Hello Critical Square, Thanks for the quick response.
Shorts term goals: Advancing my Financial career to next level in to Capital markets, Corporate Finance, or Asset Management. I am planning to get in a Global Financial services firms. Given my background in mortgage backed products, I am planning to advance my career working in those domain.
Long term career goals: Eventually I want to venture in to private equity or venture capital or Alternative investments asset management domains. Possibly establishing my own Asset Management company.
My further goals are to do some something for the Indian Capital markets industry. Indian Capital markets are yet in their nascent stage and has not developed to a level of that of Western Economies. Products such as Mortgage backed securities are unheard of in the Indian Capital markets. A Phenomenon which results in a savings economy rather than the Investing economy. Lack of structured finance products also results in lack of credit as the credit does not get backed and traded in the secondary markets. I plan to revamp the Indian capital markets in the long term.
Alternative: If these plans don't get materialized. I will probably go for in to Management consulting in short term and a start up (probably tech) in long term.
