The Stock Market as Information Processor vs Speculation Machine
My most recent research paper examines one of the most debated questions in financial economics — does the stock market primarily function as an efficient processor of real-world information, or is it driven more by speculation and sentiment?
The paper analyses market behaviour, price discovery mechanisms, and the role of retail and institutional investors in shaping market outcomes. Written during my IB Diploma years, this paper reflects the depth of thinking my IB Economics HL and Business Management HL education has made possible.

Behavioural Finance and the Psychology of Investment
My second research paper — Behavioural Finance and the Psychology of Investment: How Cognitive Biases Influence Retail Investor Decisions — was published in IJIRSET in December 2025.
It explores how psychological factors and cognitive biases shape the financial decisions of everyday investors — often leading to outcomes that rational economic models cannot predict or explain.

A Journey -- From Ambition to Distraction to Success
In 2023, I published my debut novel — A Journey: From Ambition to Distraction to Success — available on Amazon and Flipkart across India and beyond.
The book explores themes of ambition, adolescence, discipline, entrepreneurship, family values, and resilience. The story integrates my personal interests in squash, business mindset, and emotional growth — drawn from real experience, written with honesty.
Writing a full-length novel requires sustained discipline, creative courage, and the willingness to put your inner world on public display. I wrote it at 13. I would write it again.
