Founder & CIO
With over three decades of dedicated experience in the capital markets, particularly in equity analysis and investment management, this professional brings a wealth of expertise. Their foundational interest in securities and investment strategies, cultivated from an early age, was further solidified through early career exposure to trading and research at BLB Ltd. and DBS Securities in the initial part of the 1990s. Subsequent to this, they gained valuable buy-side experience with Manning & Napier in New York (2003-2005), managing assets under management (AUM) totalling $26 billion, followed by a tenure at a Mumbai-based US hedge fund (2005-2013) with an AUM of $300 million. Their engagement also extended to providing consultancy services to a European Investment Bank concerning its India operations, alongside direct management of proprietary portfolios in listed equities. The investment strategies employed, emphasizing high-quality stocks and special situations, consistently delivered performance exceeding relevant market benchmarks for both managed and proprietary funds. Academically, they hold an Executive MBA from FMS Delhi (1997-2000) and a full-time MBA from a premier US financial institution in New York (2001-2003).
