Having worked across Deloitte and the capital markets ecosystem, he enjoys breaking down complex information into practical insights and conversations that go beyond just numbers.

Exploring the world of derivatives since 2009, he was intrigued by how most investors end up losing money in F&O trades. After wearing many hats in the stock market, he eventually developed a unique public markets strategy built on real hedging. Over the years, he developed a deep understanding of using derivatives as a genuine hedge, rather than treating futures and options as investment tools like much of the market does today. Earlier in his journey, he was also among the pioneers in setting up commercial cable television systems in his hometown.
