Financial Services & Fintech · CFA · FRM
~20 years in financial services, asset management and fintech — product and strategy roles spanning European, American and Asian markets, most recently at JP Morgan Chase Asset Management. My interests sit where markets, risk and technology meet: derivatives, regulation, and building things that survive contact with real data.
01
Shaping product direction and engaging senior stakeholders across financial-services businesses.
BFSI operations, regulatory compliance, and the practical mechanics of derivatives and risk management.
Roles spanning European, American and Asian markets — different regulatory regimes, same underlying discipline.
Leading digital-agenda initiatives built around evolving customer behaviour, with a customer-first performance orientation.

Occasional write-ups when something in the market's plumbing turns out to be worth explaining properly.
Market structure · August 2026SEBI’s first closing-auction order shows how a Sensex settlement price was allegedly manufactured — ₹57 lakh spent to make ₹2.96 crore in expiring options. Then the part nobody is discussing: what that one fake print does to pivots, ATR, Supertrend and Renko trend state, and how long it is still there the next morning.
Read the note → Market structure · August 2026Split any index day into two legs — the session, and the gap either side of it — and compound each separately. Over eleven-plus years, the session was a net loser on both Nifty and Bank Nifty; essentially the entire gain happened while the market was shut.
Read the note → Market structure · August 2026India moved to a closing auction on 3 August. A side effect nobody flagged: for fourteen minutes a day the index charts go blind while futures and options keep trading — then teleport to catch up. Measured from one-minute data, with a second finding that turned out to cost more than the first.

Outside my day job, I've spent the last while building NoiselessOS — a personal quantitative research platform built around noiseless charts (Renko and Point & Figure): chart engines, indicator and pattern libraries, and a multi-year, slippage-honest backtesting suite, all in service of one goal — defined-risk, systematic income from index derivatives, tested before it's trusted.
It's the same instinct that shows up in my day job — reduce a chaotic problem to a set of rules, then test those rules until they earn belief — applied to markets in my own time.
