Rushiil Contractor

As a first-year university student with a keen interest in finance, I am passionate about exploring the realms of corporate and investment banking. With a foundational understanding of financial principles and markets, I am eager to apply theoretical knowledge in practical, real-world banking scenarios. I am committed to developing my analytical skills and financial acumen to contribute effectively in a dynamic financial environment. My goal is to leverage my enthusiasm and academic background in finance to gain a deeper understanding of financial strategies, investment analysis, and the mechanisms that drive global markets.
