I enable people to discover strategic solutions for complicated or chaotic challenges systematically










I believe in the prowess of an Indian mind; Individuality; power of fact led, objective oriented innovation; structure and clarity. With the help of these tools I can easily navigate chaos and complexity.










Way I work










Aggressive Attitude

Original Approach

Analytical Depth

Strategic Thinking

Grand Designs



Sometimes a problem requires an attack from all sides

Taking an original path requires risk taking and having foresight

Involves asking a lot of questions and recursive introspection

Is like imagining where you want to be tomorrow, today; and answering “How did I get here?”

Seldom do goals worth achieving happen by chance










Key frameworks I use










Agile Theory

Game Theory

Chaos Theory

Blue Oceans Theory

Data Synthesis



Systematic, modular, incremental and automated workflows can counter both chaos and complexity

Each unique result of a game requires its own unique path

Simplyfing chaos through interconnected sub-systems

Making the obvious irrelevant through the uncontested

Making luck with data










How I look at business










I do not look at businesses as individual entities, I look at them as ecosystems. Not in the way porter did (The five forces), but somewhat an extension of it. In this the industry is looked at as a system of interconnected sub-systems. By looking at it this way the ecosystem reduces to just three things: 1) Players 2) Problems and 3) Products.










Natural abilities towards strategy development, execution planing, data modeling and automated data analysis . Competitive under chaotic and complex conditions. Since most of my work is outsourced to me I cannot divulge information about either my clients or their work. However, following are some examples of my work, Sample Work Experince, Strategic Insight - India and RCEP, Mathematical Model - How Do Stock Prices Fluctuate - Part I










Last personal project










It is impossible to perfectly "solve" the financial market, but one gets an edge while exploring real-world data. My last personal project was on this topic. To know more on the relevance of this subject visit: Kaggle Competition.










This project consisted of, 1) A Theory which explained volatility (market inefficiency caused by daily price movements); 2) A quantitative model that identified trading opportunities (A method to take advantage of market inefficiencies) and 3) A daily price prediction algorithm (A software based program that could calculate buy and sell prices of financial instruments in real time).










The resultant software are popularly categorised as “RoboAdvisors
