Summary

Currently a Credit Operations Associate at Stripe Technology India Pvt. Ltd., where I lead the strategic and credit risk department. In addition to managing business-as-usual (BAU) activities, I have driven high-impact initiatives focused on process improvements, training, and project implementation.

Previously, I worked at ANZ Bank in the retail banking division, where I not only managed BAU responsibilities but also led multiple projects to automate rating software and conducted rigorous testing. During my time at Yulu Bikes Pvt. Ltd. as a Finance Intern, I collaborated with Deloitte on audits, developed valuation models, managed financial records, contributed to policy formulation, and analyzed key financials and performance indicators (KPIs).

Additionally, I have experience in portfolio management, having worked with a portfolio management company to analyze stocks and construct investment portfolios for clients. My diverse background in audit, finance, and project management has honed my analytical thinking, deepened my business acumen, and instilled a strong commitment to continuous learning and innovative problem-solving.
