ABOUT ME
aspiring finance professional
I’m Harshal Jain, currently pursuing a BA in Economics & Finance at Mahindra University, Hyderabad, where I have built a strong academic foundation and maintained a commendable GPA of 8.3/10. My educational journey has not only equipped me with rigorous financial analysis and valuation skills but also sparked a deep interest in the dynamic field of investment banking, particularly in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A).
My academic pursuits are complemented by a proactive approach to learning and an eagerness to bridge theoretical concepts with real-world applications. This passion drives my ambition to excel in investment banking, where strategic decision-making and high-stakes financial operations intersect.
Looking ahead, I am committed to furthering my expertise by pursuing the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation starting in February 2026. This step is a testament to my long-term goal of developing a robust, globally recognized skill set that will enable me to contribute effectively in the competitive world of finance.
I believe in continuous learning, seizing opportunities for growth, and staying curious about the evolving landscape of financial markets. I am excited about the journey ahead and the impact I hope to make in the realm of investment banking.
