I am a PGDM student in Finance and Strategic Management at MDI Gurgaon. I trained as an electronics engineer at K. K. Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research, Nashik, after a diploma at Government Polytechnic, Nashik.

From 2020 to 2024 I was with Central Railway at Bhusawal: technical training, then Junior Engineer (Signal) in Signal and Telecommunication. The work was safety-critical and operational. Maintenance, inspections, electronic interlocking, and round-the-clock fault response, done with other teams in the field.

I passed CFA Level I in 2026. Recent project work includes a FinOps chargeback accelerator for Azure Databricks at Celebal Technologies, an eight-week strategy project with Vijay Sales, and a finance training project with Fincrux Technologies.

Conceptual How the background connects

  1. Signalling systems

    Electronic interlocking and the equipment that has to keep working.

  2. Operating judgment

    Inspections, maintenance, and fault response under real constraints.

  3. Strategy and finance

    The same habit of reading a system, applied to a business decision.

A conceptual map of the thread through the work. Not a measure of results.

What I work on

  • Strategy

    Where a business should focus, including a live project on store and workforce readiness at Vijay Sales.

  • Finance

    The PGDM, CFA Level I, and training in equity research, portfolio analysis, and private-equity caselets.

  • Technology

    Productising a FinOps chargeback accelerator for Azure Databricks, after years around railway systems.

  • Risk

    Study, for now: investment risk as more than one number, and what interlocking and redundancy make concrete.
