Strategy, finance and research, live and explorable.

Commercial strategy, corporate finance, investment research and quantitative work. Market entry cases, payments economics, covenant surveillance, derivatives regulation. The kind of analysis that usually ends its life inside a slide deck or a terminal, published here as dashboards you can open, papers you can read, and repositories you can check line by line.

Background

About

I'm a finance and strategy generalist (MBA, IIM Bodh Gaya) working across investment research, management-consulting-style problem-solving, and financial analysis. My work spans credit, equities, macro, private equity, and sustainable finance.

The difference is that it doesn't stop at a memo or a deck. Each analysis becomes something you can open: a covenant monitor reading SEC filings, a research terminal with reverse-DCF pricing, a causal-tested ENSO commodity desk, an open-data trail for who captures the value in India's payments network.

The same instinct runs through the written work: two working papers on SSRN, one estimating what SEBI's 2024–25 index derivatives curbs did to retail participation, the other asking why rural households who already know about a benefit still do not receive it.

It also runs through what gets published when the answer is no. The regime-switching study here is a negative result with a diagnosis attached, and the aviation case reversed its own recommendation mid-way and wrote down why, because a portfolio of only wins says nothing about how someone handles a loss.
