<div style="direction: ltr;">I am writing to express my keen interest in the position of Assistant Professor at NICMAR University. With an MBA in Finance, UGC-NET qualification in Management, NISM Research Analyst certification, and ongoing doctoral research in financial innovation, I bring a blend of academic rigor, professional certification, and research-driven orientation aligned with NICMAR&rsquo;s industry-integrated academic philosophy.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">My academic foundation is strengthened by clearing the NISM Research Analyst examination, which reflects my analytical competence in equity research, valuation frameworks, regulatory compliance, and financial reporting standards. This certification complements my practical exposure from working in the banking sector and enhances my ability to train students in applied financial analysis, security valuation, and research-based decision-making.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">As a PhD scholar in Finance, my research interests lie in fintech innovation, digital currency adoption, AI applications in finance, financial markets, and behavioral financial systems. I have contributed to research publications indexed in ABDC and Scopus journals, reflecting my commitment to maintaining high academic standards and global research visibility. Additionally, I hold a patent in the domain of finance and technology, demonstrating my inclination toward innovation and applied research beyond traditional academic boundaries.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">My research approach integrates quantitative modeling, behavioral frameworks, and multi-model analysis to address contemporary financial challenges. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary areas such as project finance analytics, digital financial ecosystems, infrastructure financing, and algorithmic decision-making &mdash; areas that align closely with NICMAR&rsquo;s specialized management programs.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">In teaching, I emphasize conceptual clarity, case-based pedagogy, financial modeling exercises, and research-oriented assignments. I have experience teaching finance, accounting, and decision-making subjects to undergraduate and postgraduate students. My objective is to develop industry-ready professionals equipped with analytical skills, ethical grounding, and strategic thinking capabilities. I integrate real-world financial cases, valuation techniques, regulatory updates, and research methodology into classroom discussions to bridge academia and industry.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Beyond teaching and research, I am enthusiastic about contributing to curriculum development, mentoring research scholars, initiating funded research projects, organizing academic conferences, and strengthening industry-academia collaborations. My long-term vision is to contribute to institutional research rankings, accreditation quality parameters, and intellectual capital development.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">NICMAR University&rsquo;s focus on management, infrastructure, and industry relevance resonates with my academic philosophy of applied finance and innovation-driven scholarship. I am confident that my research credentials, professional certifications, and commitment to academic excellence will allow me to meaningfully contribute to the university&rsquo;s teaching, research, and institutional development objectives.</div>
