Worked as a quant in the commercial credit risk modeling team of the bank. Some noteworthy contributions:

• Developed Financial Ratio Surveillance Tool (FRST)- an RShiny application to statistically analyze the effectiveness of financial risk factors in predicting default risk (application is live and published in ANZ network after appreciation from ANZ stakeholders)

• Developed a univariate analysis application for analysis of financial risk factors to capture trend w.r.t. risk using parametric and nonparametric techniques such as kernel regression, shape-constrained additive models, splines, etc.

• Developed an automated branched forward model selection tool- a variable selection algorithm to select the best n statistical models at one go

• Performed statistical impact assessment of COVID-19 on the bank’s commercial portfolios and identified high-risk industries and portfolios as part of APRA regulatory requirement

• Exposure to a wide variety of credit risk models especially in commercial portfolios such as Large and Global Enterprises/MME and SME/Property (Real Estate)/NBFI portfolios; AI/ML Decision Support Models and Stress Testing applications

• Awarded under ANZ’s reward and recognition program multiple times (FRM quarterly team award) for contributions as part of risk modeling and automation tool development

Estimate base price elasticity and forecasting sales of Walmart products (International Pricing Team)

• Devised a method to model high dimensional data using stepwise and regularised regression models, with automatic parameter selection, using an ensemble of ridge, lasso and elastic net models, leveraging price elasticity to predict sales

• Developed a novel forecasting algorithm to predict sales based on a clustering approach on high dimensional data which performed significantly better than the other demand forecasting models in place at Walmart (cluster approach resulted in 42.4% increase in accuracy from the conventional non-cluster based approach)

Welcome to Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), a unique P. C. Mahalanobish institution devoted to the research, teaching and application of statistics, natural sciences and social sciences. Founded by Professor P.C. Mahalanobis in Kolkata on 17th December, 1931, the institute gained the status of an Institution of National Importance by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1959.

The Headquarters of ISI is located in the northern fringe of the metropolis of Kolkata. Additionally, there are two Centres located in Delhi and Bangalore. Research in Statistics and related disciplines is the primary activity of the Institute. Teaching activities are undertaken mainly in Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore. Offices of the Institute located in several other cities in India are primarily engaged in projects and consultancy in Statistical Quality Control and Operations Research'.

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) was founded in 1909 as a result of the joint efforts of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the Government of India, and the Maharaja of Mysore. In 1886, Jamsetji Tata conceived of a university of science that would work for the benefit of India, and in 1898 created an endowment for establishing such an institution. The Government of India then took up the effort, and, in consultation with scientists in England and in India, decided to locate the Institute in Bengaluru, where the Maharaja of Mysore, Shri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, donated 372 acres of land. The Institute was formally vested in 1909, the foundation stone was laid in 1911, and the first batch of students started their studies in the same year.Over the last century, IISc has become the premier institute for advanced scientific and technological research and education in India. Beginning with 2 departments and 21 students in 1911, today IISc has 39 departments, units, or centres, 3500 students, and about 500 academic and scientific staff, supported by 600 administrative personnel. About 2200 students are in various PhD programs, almost 900 are enrolled for various Masters degrees, whereas about 400 are registered in the newly established, research oriented, four-year Bachelor of Science (Research) programme.In recent years, the Institute has vigorously promoted interdisciplinary research. New centres such as the CiSTUP, the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems and a new Centre for Brain Research (funded by a large private endowment) are expected to conduct translational research in their respective areas, in order to better connect with industry and society. With the recent construction of modern buildings, acquisition of new research facilities, and induction of a large number of new faculty members, the Institute can look forward to an era of high productivity, increasing impact, and rising prominence in the world.
