Analytics → Strategy → Markets → AI

B.Tech. UPSC. IIM.
Now writing
what I learned.

I've always been drawn to writing — this is where it finally compounds. From Infosys to UPSC Prep to IIM Trichy (Finance & Analytics), and a management consulting internship where I worked on operating strategy, built a financial model, and presented to the CEO and CFO — that journey shapes how I think: structured, data-driven, and grounded in real decisions.

This site is where that thinking gets documented.

What is this & why read it

A working log of how I think about markets, strategy, and technology.

My interests sit at the intersection of financial modelling, valuation, equity research, market analysis, and analytics — extending into portfolio management and, more recently, a deeper focus on Agentic AI and LLMs. My background in analytics shapes how I approach problems: structured, data-driven, and grounded in decision-making rather than theory.

This platform exists for two reasons: to compound my own thinking in public, and to impose discipline on continuous learning.

  • MBA Playbook A candid, ground-level view of the IIM MBA experience: what works, what doesn't, and what actually matters when placements come around.
  • Macro & Markets Equity research, valuation frameworks, and the intersection of data, AI-assisted workflows, and traditional investing. A live model portfolio will be published here — institutional-style.
  • Geopolitics Selective analysis of policy and political developments that have second-order effects on business and capital markets.
  • AI Strategy A running repository of ideas, frameworks, and projects as I go deeper into the agentic AI stack — emphasis on real-world applications.

Just thinking — in public, with skin in the game.
