Provider:

I provide independent, conflict-of-interest-free counsel, sharing my skills and experience to help you construct a robust investment portfolio customized to your personal investing and financial goals. Over the past 35 years, I have worked extensively both professionally and personally with investments across all asset classes, which I have incorporated into a personal investing and finance module.

Background:

My primary innings, spanning the last several decades, have been in financial services and investment management, specializing in risk management. Following that, I took a step back to reflect on the work and life skills and experiences that I’ve acquired and developed over the course of my lifetime; I codified these credentials into a comprehensive set of modules under the aegis of “Life Management.”

I was the risk manager at Partner Fund Management, Andor Capital and Pequot Capital; and at Tiger Management before that. I spent a year each at CapMAC Investment Management, an unsuccessful asset-management startup, and at New World Investments, an EM hedge-fund. I started my career at Morgan Stanley in the MBS department. I have an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University and BA (Hons) in economics from Hindu College, Delhi University, India.
