I have conducted buy-side and sell-side due diligence, prepared quality of earnings reports, and managed portfolios with assets under management exceeding Rs. 200 crores. I have also led audit teams, performed risk assessments, and supported M&A transactions with detailed diligence reports and client-ready deliverables.
