Being excited to experience the journey from classroom to boardroom, I am also filled with passion,
potential, and a desire for success. When I received the notification from the placement cell of my
college, H.L. College of Commerce, I had to apply for the role of Associate – Financial Research at D.E.
Shaw India Private Limited at Hyderabad in order to contribute my interpersonal skills and experience in
the best possible way.

During my previous role at AIESEC as a Head of Social Sector, I successfully led 9 teams throughout the
year while training and monitoring performance of each individual to help them grow as professionals
paving the way for me to achieve awards for the most progressive department and most progressive
leader. Concurrently, I had the privilege to head a product where I managed various projects on the UN 17
Sustainable Development Goals with 6 NGOs and 2 universities, adding 2 new NGOs as partners across
Ahmedabad. I generated a whopping a revenue of 3,80,000 INR and managed such a huge finance which
was made possible by me through creating a brand value in and around the city. Additionally, I have built
and maintained international relations with over 45 countries, showcasing my ability to handle global
operations, customer relationship management and my will to achieve company’s goals.

My corporate journey began as a Finance Research intern at D.E. Shaw India Private Limited which was
definitely a kick starter for me to identify myself as a work-oriented individual. It was an absolute honour
to come across a unique work culture here, where I utilised my research skills and learnt financial data
management, financial research techniques and the roots of investments in hedge funds. I was assigned to
study the after effects of the pandemic on the Insurance industry, which directly correlated to my career in
finance of becoming an Actuary. Here, I grew myself as a professional, gained passion for Finance and
developed my interest to work in a corporate world.

Recently, I have been regularly analysing the Indian stock market through the financial data and research
on the basis of the information provided by companies and the media which has been a supporting factor
to invest rightly in Equity as well as mutual funds. A strong reason for me to join D.E. Shaw is its
functionality which is totally towards hedge funds, it intrigues me to the core of my interest in Finance.
As a final year student, I have studied subjects which may fulfil the knowledge required for the position
of an associate for financial research namely, Financial Management and Financial Planning.

invest my skills and capitalise on my experience in the leading firm of the industry to grow
myself and the company substantially more. I really appreciate you taking out time to go through
my experience, looking forward to a positive response.
