Biography

I am a BFSI professional with deep hands-on experience across Foreign Trade, MSME Lending, Risk Assessment, Strategy, and Digital Payment landscape. Over the years, I have built and scaled credit-focused businesses, working with large conglomerates, regulators, government bodies, industry associations, export councils, and bankers to improve access to finance, strengthen underwriting quality, and reduce information asymmetry for lenders.

Currently, I am associated with Infomerics Analytics & Research, as Senior Director & Risk Head. We help banks including SBI, UBI BoB, BoI, CBI, BoM, Canara Bank and more with our credit assessment, due diligence, and risk solutions for emerging businesses and SMEs.

In the past I have worked with logos like Standard Chartered, D&B, CARE Ratings, Yes Bank, Spice Money and Cashfree Payments.

Be Part Of The Solution

Support GTRi

Bihar does not lack history, talent, or resilience—it lacks collective urgency and sustained support. For decades, its story has been told in fragments, often defined by what it is not, rather than what it can become. Grand Trunk Road Initiatives was born to change that narrative—through research, dialogue, and platforms that bring Bihar back into meaningful national and global conversations.
But vision alone is never enough.

Every archive built, every conversation hosted, every young mind inspired—these are not abstract ideas. They require belief, participation, and support from those who see value in rebuilding something larger than themselves. GTRi is an independent effort, driven not by institutions of power, but by conviction that Bihar deserves better—and can achieve it.

If you believe Bihar’s future should not be left to chance, if you believe ideas can shape economies, and if you believe that change begins with those willing to step forward—this is your moment to contribute.
Support GTRi. Strengthen the effort. Be part of a movement that is working, quietly but persistently, to give Bihar the platform, dignity, and momentum it deserves.
Because the future of Bihar will not be written by a few—it will be built by many.
