Welcome to my home page. I am an MBA (PGPM) in Finance from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB). My strengths are Statistics, Econometrics and Time Series Analysis. Prior to my MBA, I got a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Information Technology from Gujarat University. Apart from quantitative finance, my other interests are linguistics and Hindu philosophy.

The Vedics, Aryabhatta, Bhaskara, Panini, Newton, Guass, Pearson, Granger, Engle, C R Rao, Knuth and the like are people I consider God's best gift to mankind.
Interesting Aside
Fibonacci numbers were known to Indians before Fibonacci. Google on Hemachandra Suri - a Jain scholar who described the Fibonacci Series in the context of number of combinations in Sanskrit poetry of a given length. Donald Knuth attributes Fibonacci Series to both Hemachandra and Gopala (another Indian mathematician) in The Art of Computer Programming. You can fInd an interesting article on Hemechandra's Series and Pingala's triangle (discovered by Pascal 18 centuries later and now called Pascal's Triangle) here.
