Ex- Management Consultant at BCG & McKinsey | CFA L3 | Value Investor since 2009 |I am a Dubai based active investor in equity markets since 2009, and my investment philosophy involves investing in value stocks which are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. I am also a strong believer in assessing macro trends and sectoral themes to identify cyclical and seasonal plays (Long + Short)- which has rewarded me handsomely in the past.My educational background involves having an MBA from Indian Institute of Management (IIM) with specialization in Finance. I have also completed all levels of the CFA. From a professional journey, I started my career in the shipping industry, and then moved to McKinsey as a professional focused on financial institutions (Banks, insurance companies and asset managers). I then worked as a Management Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and got exposure to a wide variety of sectors, including tech, pharma, oil and gas, manufacturing/ industrials to name a few. Right now, I am working as a Product Lead at Amazon- giving me good exposure to big tech and some of the most compelling technological trends like AI which are shaping the world.Investing and researching stocks is my hobby, and I believe in doing in-depth research on stocks which I would probably buy (or short). This involves me first using a set of pre-determined screens (Valuation metrics, insider buys etc.) to assess attractive opportunities, and then diving deep into the stock’s fundamentals to take the final buy/sell/ hold decision.
