Candidate:

Mr. Double Bachelor’s Investment Banker

About Me:

My academic and professional journey is one that of a river with a persistent flow. Such flow of a river can cut through the hardest of rocks. So is my hope, that my persistence cuts through the impediments and helps me get one of those big 3 B Schools.

I have been admitted into BITS Pilani Dual Degree. I was too involved with other subjects (robo club, heading climate club, model G20, poetry, music etc.) and I performed really horribly (CGPA 7/10). Still, I interned at GS.

I worked at a local NGO for 1.5 yr, and at my failed venture for 1 year. I then rejoined GS as an IB Front Office Analyst.

I enrolled for another Bachelors’s in Commerce and received a 3.9 GPA and cleared CFA Levels 1 and 2.
