My Story

Had an adventurous childhood studying in various parts of India (not an Army kid btw). Have a deep appreciation for the cultural diversity, picked a few languages and continue to find common ground with random people. 2008 Subprime piqued my interest in Finance leading me to pursue an MBA and a CFA.

You are most likely to ask me when we meet, if my real name is Shanki. It is.

How I got into investment banking?

Working with a start-up early on and an opportunity to wear multiple hats instilled a sense of direction and led my path to the world of advisory and IB.

Newly inducted into the IE fellowship with the mission to drive the M&A initiatives in Enterprise Tech across verticals and horizontals.

What keeps me up at night?

Early to bed, early to rise.
