Get to know Gaurav
What keeps you curious?
How numbers reveal what intuition can miss, especially when markets, risk and behaviour start interacting in unexpected ways.
What kind of problems do you enjoy solving?
The ones where performance can be measured, broken down and improved, whether that means a trading strategy, a portfolio or a system.
What has working across trading, treasury and fund management taught you?
That returns are only one part of the story. Understanding risk, liquidity, capital and context is what makes a decision complete.
Why do numbers matter so much in markets?
Because they force clarity. Good numbers help separate conviction from assumption and signal from noise.
What makes teaching at IIM Ahmedabad interesting for you?
Teaching makes you question your own frameworks. Explaining an idea clearly often reveals whether you truly understand it.
What do you look for when evaluating performance?
Consistency, efficiency and whether the outcome justifies the risk taken to achieve it.
What do you value most in a team?
Clear thinking, intellectual honesty and people who are comfortable being challenged by the data.
