I am a cost accountant and MBA (Finance) by profession and have been closely tracking Indian financial markets, investment products and regulations for over 25 years now. An active investor myself, I’ve learnt from my successes and failures over three market cycles and try to pass on these learnings through my columns. Joining Business Line as a research analyst in August 1995, I helmed the Research Bureau and the Portfolio section for 7 years. I have moved to a Consulting Editor role at Business Line from 2014. I was also a contributor to Value Research and write for Primeinvestor. I am a three-time winner of the Shriram Sanlam award for excellence in Financial Journalism and speak regularly at investor awareness events. I am presently a member of SEBI’s MF Advisory Committee.
