From the theories of demandsupply to changing inflation trends, every

topic has a financial impact beyond the pages of the books which I want to

discover. In my 12th grade, I was awarded the Shresth Puraskar for

achieving proficiency in Economics. I am an extremely result oriented

person. Problem solving and analysis generate a great fervor in me. This

has helped me avidly in doing my economics projects during my school and

college days. Such skills gravely help me enjoy my passion for the subject

Economics. I scored 94% in the All India Senior School Certificate

Examination, with highest score in Mathematics, Economics and BusinessStudies (95%) thus ensuring admission in one of the most prestigious and

leading colleges in Delhi University (Sri Venkateswara College). Through

perseverance and hard work, I have been on the Honours listnearly every

year. I scored 74% in my final year.

I was selected by Deloitte TTL as a consultant in the college itself who

placed me in Enterprise Risk Services at Hyderabad. I work in Internal

Audit. I handled Business Process Testing and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

Compliance for large healthcare and financial services clients. Currently I

am working for UBS, a major banking SOX client of Europe. This project

has helped me come face to face with the intricacies of all finance and

banking work-streams like Wealth Management, Investment Banking

(Operations and Finance), Global Asset Management and Human

Resources. Working through the client office, this project has helped me

understand the international financial operations of big companies. I

believe that the time is now ripe for me to take the next step towards my

career. After my work experience, I believe this is the right stage for me to

pursue Masters and gain good knowledge of the Economics.

5 years down the line, I see myself working in an international organization

as an economist. LSE will provide me a solid foundation in Economics with

complete depth of knowledge on its various elements. From the prices in a

superstore to the stock indices on the trading floor, there is a need to

understand the underlying market forces that control the decision making

in businesses across the globe. The economic bubbles and the subprime

crisis have intrigued me to learn more about the theories and principles ofEconomics. In my undergraduate studies, I studied Economics all

throughout and every little concept has a broader impact on the economy at

large which made me delve into this subject even more. As an economist,

every day I shall delve into research of changing trends in the crucial

matters of money and economic policies. My knowledge would help me

predict future trends in the economic world. It would require me to have

analytical bent of mind with in depth knowledge to gain the ability to

predict impact of any policy. This work requires determination and

perseverance towards one particular field which fascinates me and would

help me grow intellectually.

In my high school I did a project on carbon trading as a part of the

curriculum, where I learnt how to apply simple techniques of

microeconomics in the sphere of environment policy and conservation.

A Masters in Economics from a premier institute like LSE would serve as aperfect platform to kick-start my career in the field of economics. The

rigorous curriculum and excellent faculty of LSE will ensure that I develop

a strong background and specialization. This would help me materialize my

ambitions. The unique two year programme of LSE .
