As a child, I grew up in a family with a love for mathematics and careers centered around
mathematical design and thinking. I have fond memories of playing SUDOKU with my mother
and participating in Olympiads and Quizzes. These platforms have helped me polish my skills
and interact with people of similar interests. During my academic years, my inclination and
love for the subject grew, and I got a job as an actuarial advisor. The different stages of my life
have exposed me to a new dimension of mathematics and statistics and amazed me as to how
beautiful this subject is which has piqued my interest in advancing in Actuarial Science.
To gain further exposure to a highly dynamic Actuarial Science environment, I joined Human
Capital Benefit (HCB) division at Willis Towers Watson, one of the world's leading insurance
brokerage and advisory companies. At HCB, we strive to strike a balance between providing
effective and competitive qualified and non-qualified retirement plans while managing cost
and risk. I collaborated with the ASC mid-west team for pension valuation for US-based
companies, helping them develop and manage retirement programs that meet their workforce
needs. I achieved this by setting up a data valuation process for our stakeholders while helping
accelerate the form filing process i.e., ‘Annual Funding notice for DB Plans’ and ‘The IRS
Form 5500’ for 40+ firms with average pension plan assets worth $20 Million. Moreover, I
expedited the entire process end-to-end through Excel calc files and the in-house tool Quantify
while maintaining personal information and privacy, thereby reducing manhours by more than
50%. For my noteworthy contributions, while maintaining the quality of deliverables, I was
awarded the SPOT Award in my first quarter, being one of the few to achieve it in such a short
period.
Right after, I was assimilated to a different project where I collaborated with a team of 4 to
design documentation for the China pension valuation team to help speed the entire valuation
process while handling large and complex datasets with 40K+ participants on average. This
documentation highlighting the valuation process while using tools such as Quantify,
Microsoft Excel, and Jira will aid the outsourcing to Mumbai, helping speed up the process by
more than 40%. I presented the solution to the Director of Global Delivery and Solutions (GDS)
and was widely appreciated for my contributions. The opportunity to interact with various
stakeholders and collaborate with highly qualified technical teams at WTW has helped me hone
my technical and business communication skills. Moreover, collaborating on various projects
has exposed me to multiple facets and applications of Actuarial Science and cultivated an
intense interest in delving deeper into its core concepts.
I hope to engage with its members, discussing shared interests and collaborating on projects.
Drawing on my professional experience, I could contribute by presenting solutions that
organizations are actively adopting, and providing a practical take on concepts discussed in the
classroom. Given the opportunity, I am confident the program's advanced training will help me
fulfill my career aspirations, enabling me to contribute to the development of the field and add
value to business and society at large.
