Harsha Vardhan Puli
Master of Business Administration, 2023
I am a seasoned investment professional with over 6 years of experience in investment operations and portfolio analysis at State Street, a globally renowned asset manager. In addition to my financial expertise, I also have a significant commitment to education, as I manage an aided educational institution that provides support to 700 underprivileged students.
My educational background includes a specialization in finance and investments from Christ University, along with the distinguished CIPM (Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement) designation. I have also earned a certification in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Investing from the CFA Institute and have successfully passed the Level 1 exam of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of collaborating with various global portfolio managers and strategists. My responsibilities have involved the comprehensive assessment of intricate investment strategies, including Merger-Arbitrage, Multi-Currency Hedging, and Liability Driven Investing (LDI). I am proficient in conducting post-investment analysis, meticulous monitoring, and reporting, as well as delivering exceptional service to institutional clients. Additionally, I have valuable experience in managing cross-departmental teams and successfully executing cross-country projects.
Currently, I am pursuing my MBA at Said Business School to further enhance my leadership skills and facilitate my transition into front-office roles within the finance sector.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I have a deep passion for cricket, both as a spectator and a player, and I have had the privilege of representing my school in this sport. My love for animals is evident in my home, where I care for a rescue Labrador. During my leisure time, I enjoy the art of cooking and indulge in watching action movies.
I am enthusiastic about joining this college and am looking forward to an exciting year ahead, filled with growth and collaboration with all of you.
