Notes:

I have been working in my family’s proprietor business for the past five years, specializing in project financing across various industries. Our business serves a diverse range of clients, both listed and unlisted, managing substantial projects. Personally, I have overseen financing for 6-7 clients, with an average project size of ₹500 crore, ensuring customized solutions to meet their financial needs.

Academically, I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I am a CFA charterholder. Additionally, I have passed the FRM Level 1 exam, further strengthening my expertise in financial risk management.

I’m currently preparing for the GMAT with the aim of scoring at the top percentile as I work toward getting into an MBA program. My goal is to pivot into investment banking after the MBA. I know my undergraduate GPA is on the lower side, but I’ve come a long way since then, and there’s a meaningful story behind why my grades were affected at the time. I’m ready to explain that and show how it’s shaped me into who I am today.

In addition to my professional work, I am actively involved in various community service initiatives. These include organizing efforts to feed those in need, participating in marathons to raise awareness for charitable causes, and leading tree-planting campaigns to promote environmental sustainability. Most recently, I partnered with Deloitte on a project aimed at providing educational materials to children living in slum areas and raising awareness about the transformative power of education.
