Additional Information

The resume presents my professional experience. My father’s sudden passing brought me back to Delhi in July 2019, where I took over his estate both physical and fiscal. July 2020 saw us with childbirth amidst the pandemic, and the last 2 years have been spent as full time parents. We kept busy with our Investment portfolio and closure of outstanding company affairs and we now reside at C-30 Neeti Bagh, New Delhi 110049.

I mould my views via observation and participation, bringing to an enterprise my whole life’s experiences, dynamic opinions, learned knowledge and my best asset, a continuously nurtured perspective. I prosper when my work allows for a wider contribution towards a vision or project that requires creative thought and above all, refinement. I hope I may continue to offer analysis, insight, skill and if I’m lucky, my still unique perspective.

The resume presented is akin to a series of events and decisions made under reasons often braved of intent and sometimes borne of circumstance.

It is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

Sincerely,

Karan Chopra
