About Saanvi Rastogi

Hi, I’m Saanvi — currently studying Business and Hotel Adminstration at Cornell and exploring the intersection of capital markets, technology, and entrepreneurship.I’m inspired to pursue investment banking early in my career to build a rigorous foundation in financial analysis, valuation, and deal execution. At the same time, I’m especially drawn to fintech and early-stage ventures where financial strategy meets product innovation. I enjoy analyzing businesses, building ideas from the ground up, and thinking about how technology can expand financial access.Long term, my goal is to combine institutional finance experience with entrepreneurial thinking to build scalable fintech solutions for the next generation.
