About Ashok M

I work at the intersection of economic theory, capital markets and real-world investment practice. My focus is on capital allocation, credit dynamics and business cycles in the Indian economy. Currently completing doctoral research in Economics alongside an independent macro research engagement on Indian capital markets. The research and the practice inform each other directly. Over two decades I have worked across equity research, investment banking, wealth management and CFO roles. I am a Chartered Accountant and CFA Charterholder. That career ground is what I now bring into the classroom.
