I am a Doctoral student in the Finance & Accounting Area at IIM Bangalore. My research primarily explores the importance of expectations and market frictions in macroeconomics and financial asset pricing. Primarily, I focus on the micro-evidences and develop theoretical models imbibing expectations and market frictions to reconcile observed moments in the financial asset markets. I am also a passionate learner of Gen AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques and try to address the prevailing problem statements with new methodologies.
