I am an Associate with Futures First commodity desk. I come with deep experience in trading global energy markets, and have rich experience of fundamental research. I am well versed with the supply and demand aspects of global benchmarks of crude oil.

I have mentored junior traders and have lead a team of senior traders to first position in a branch-wide competition. I have also been awarded for podium finish in a company-wide group competition.

When away from markets, I like to connect with people, read blogs and listen to startup pitches. I hope to start a venture fund of my own one day.

I enjoy road trips, exploring cities and home-made food. Always open to helping with career planning, resume writing, financial planning and discussing philosophy.
