Senior Associate @ Elevation Capital
About
As a recent MBA graduate from IIM Ahmedabad, I have a keen interest in the venture capital space and the startup ecosystem. I was awarded the Gold Medal for being Institute Rank 1 at IIM Ahmedabad. I hold a Dual Degree from IIT Kharagpur, where I majored in Mechanical and Financial Engineering. I am also a certified FRM professional and have cleared multiple papers of actuarial science, demonstrating my strong quantitative and analytical skills. I have gained valuable experience in risk analysis, model validation, and deal evaluation through my internships and previous roles. I supported the investment team at Venture Highway, in sourcing, evaluating, and executing deals for early-stage startups. I also worked as a risk analyst at Capital One, a global financial services company, where I validated risk models in the anti-money laundering space. I write about personal observations and experiences.
