About

I read Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Osmania University before moving to Imperial for an MSc in Financial Technology. The through line is building things that have to survive contact with real numbers: trading systems, valuation models, and strategy work where the recommendation has to hold up when someone pushes back on it.

Most of my recent work sits at the join between quantitative modelling and strategic advice, particularly corporate governance and shareholder activism.
