Graduated with an MBA in Finance from the Department of Management Studies (DMS), IIT Delhi, securing an impressive CGPA of 8.8. My academic journey was not only grounded in rigorous coursework but also enriched by a hands-on entrepreneurial project that reflected a deep dive into the multifaceted realities of building and running a business.

 As part of my major project, I conceptualized and developed a toy company startup, which served as a live case study to explore and apply key business principles. The project was designed to simulate the end-to-end lifecycle of a startup and involved:

• Financial Planning & Management: Evaluated various funding options, developed cash flow models, and applied financial forecasting techniques to ensure sustainability.

• Market Research & Marketing Strategy: Conducted primary and secondary market research, customer segmentation, and competitor analysis; crafted go-to-market strategies for product positioning.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Conducted interviews with industry experts and startup founders to gain real-world insights and refine the business model.

• Policy & Regulatory Analysis: Explored government schemes and startup policies in Uttar Pradesh to identify support mechanisms, grants, and regulatory considerations.

• ESG Evaluation: Assessed the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impact of the business, ensuring alignment with responsible and sustainable business practices.

This project enabled me to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting and develop a holistic understanding of business management, spanning finance, operations, marketing, policy, and strategy. It also sharpened my problem-solving skills, entrepreneurial mindset, and ability to think across functions—qualities I continue to bring into my professional roles.
