BEHIND THE NUMBERS

I am a Chartered Accountant with a strong foundation in audit and a bold pivot into valuation, I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor and strategic insight to every engagement. My valuation journey began after transitioning from audit—an unconventional move that involved risk, resilience, and a deliberate pay cut in pursuit of deeper impact and specialization.

I started my valuation career in India with Grant Thornton, where I focused extensively on infrastructure sectors including highways, airports, and solar power projects. This experience gave me a hands-on understanding of complex, capital-intensive assets and their valuation dynamics.

Currently, I'm associated with KPMG, targeting the U.S. valuation space. My work spans diverse industries and valuation contexts, driven by precision, defensibility, and business relevance. I understand the stakes involved for clients—whether regulatory, transactional, or strategic—and I prioritize clarity, consistency, and credibility in all my deliverables.

Each valuation tells a story—not just of numbers, but of assets, risks, and potential. My role is to bring that story into focus.
