“The more I learn, the more I realise how much I don’t know.”

This perhaps best describes where I am in my investment journey.

As an investment professional, I am constantly surrounded by narratives, jargon, opinions, borrowed wisdom, conflicting advice, market noise and an endless stream of information.

My real challenge is not finding more information. It is clearing the noise and seeing things as they are.

I try to approach investing with a simple mindset: question what is obvious, challenge what is given, separate facts from narratives, and go back to first principles.

My job, ultimately, is to make investment decisions with an unbiased mind and improve the probability of long-term success.

Simple. But certainly not easy.

These days, a large part of my work is about unlearning—letting go of assumptions and uncorroborated beliefs that we often accept as facts—and relearning the fundamentals.

I don't see myself as an Expert. I see myself as a seeker.

A seeker who is trying to understand businesses, markets, human behavior and the forces that create and destroy wealth—with a willingness to change his mind when the facts demand it.

A little about my journey

I am a Family Office investment professional with over two decades of experience across Family Office investing, Equity Research, Investment Strategy, Business Planning and Strategy.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working across very different corners of the financial services industry—including a leading bank, a top life insurance company, a reputed mutual fund, an MNC-bank-sponsored fund house and leading Single-Family Offices.

My career has taken me through very different roles: from Executive Assistant to a CEO, to Equity Analyst, Equity Strategist, and eventually Chief Investment Officer of a leading Single-Family Office managing approximately ₹2,000 crore.

I am, in many ways, a sum of the people I have worked with.

I have been fortunate to learn from some exceptional leaders—people who challenged my thinking, pushed me beyond my comfort zone and, often unknowingly, shaped the way I approach work and investing today.

After more than two decades in the markets, one thing has become increasingly clear to me:

The deeper you go, the less certain you become.

And perhaps that is not a weakness.

Perhaps that is the beginning of wisdom.

So, I continue to learn, unlearn, question and simplify.

One idea. One fact. One decision. One step at a time.
