Career Objectives

Because of the rapidly expanding global economy, one that defies geographical boundaries, a need exists for meaningful and optimal solutions to economic and financial problems. These problems center on the unprecedented explosion of free trade and interaction of financial markets globally. The global expansion described has augmented the complexity of the financial marketplace and hence, provides multiple opportunities for financial savvy individuals to develop new and better tools and techniques in the field of financial management, planning and development to name a few.

Short/Long-Term Goals

In the short-term, I plan to become a successful finance professional, one responsible for designing financial products that cater to the demands of the ever-changing and diverse financial markets. My short-term goals also include developing strategies to manage and mitigate risk, which will enable companies to thrive in the dynamic financial environment. These goals are contingent on my ability to keep up the changing financial market and the experience gained through the MA Finance degree at U.S. University.

In the long-term, I intend to contribute to the dynamic financial market by engaging in financial research, which will enable me to continually provide newer and optimal financial tools on emerging avenues of finance in the global marketplace. I believe research is critical especially in a financial market as volatile as that of the world today.

Backgrounds/Interests/Experience: Effect on Goals believe by achieving my MA of Finance degree at U.S. University, combined with the foundation built during my MBA and work experience gained at ICC, I will have the necessary academic tools to excel in the field of finance and emerging financial arenas. To achieve my goals, including my goal of becoming a financial academe, I plan to concentrate my studies heavily on continuous education in the field of finance. Strengths that will assist me in doing this and achieving my goal of research include my knowledge of higher mathematics and business statistics, and a high degree of knowledge in the fields of finance, accounting and risk management. Other tools that will assist me in realizing my goals include courses I have taken for my MBA, including statistics, business strategy and macro/micro economics.

My work experience will also assist me in achieving my goals. From May of 2005 to present I have worked as a Business Development Manager, where I continuously seek out new financial and business markets and areas to expand the business of the company in various organizational centers including in Lucknow and a franchisee center located in Allahabad. My efforts have resulted in huge financial gains, including doubling the revenue of the company in a few short years.

Also serving as Research & Development Head, I helped design and develop courses material to align with the dynamic pattern of other MBA and undergraduate entrance exams in India. These exams include those for BBA, law, and hotel management. To assist with continual delivery of accurate knowledge I also conduct regular sessions on subjects including high-level Algebra, Calculus, and Statistics to name a few. Previous to my role as Business Manager and R&D Head, I co-owned an Agri-Farm in Lucknow. In doing so I learned to monitor and manage operations, negotiate prices with buyers and sellers and assisted with the hiring and payment of temporary labor as needed.

Unique qualities I possess result from specialized studied taken under the guidance of Dr. R. Sengupta, IIT KANPUR. During my research here I proposed a new model for measuring maximum risk in financial markets based on the return investors would receive from developed markets. I also studied perishable asset revenue management and reliance energy, which involves the design, development and implementation of government consumer cell (GCC). GCC is a cell devoted to tracking and recovery of electricity dues from government consumers in the Delhi region.
