About Me
I am a PhD student in Political Science at the University of California, Riverside. I am interested in financial market policy, especially the effects of financing decisions made by firms in transitional economies that adopt heterodox reform regimes.
I have more than 5 years of experience in the Securities transactions & regulations arena. During my time with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE Ltd), I created a price banding system for Equity and Equity Index Options, as part of their Risk Management System overhaul. I was part of the Market-Making Monitoring team at MCX-SX, which managed to create over US$ 15 million in new trading volumes. At the Indian Finance Ministry, I served as a Young Professional and worked on regulatory policy for the Equities, Corporate Bonds, Mutual Funds and Private Equity/ Venture Capital Market.
My journey has taken me from a Securities exchange framework (BSE & MCX-SX) to articulating national financial policy (Ministry of Finance), through Global Policy education. Now, in the capacity of a doctoral student at UCR, I hope to understand the fundamental mechanics of State – Business relationships, seen through the political economic sphere of financial markets.
