About Vardaan Kumar

I’ve always been curious about how businesses actually work what makes some companies thrive while others struggle. That curiosity eventually led me to equity research.My academic background is in English, which helped me develop strong analytical thinking and clear communication skills. But over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to financial markets. I was fascinated by the process of breaking down annual reports, understanding business models, studying industry trends, and forming a well-reasoned view on a company’s future.What excites me most about equity research is connecting the dots turning numbers, management commentary, and industry data into a clear investment thesis. I enjoy digging deep, asking the right questions, and forming opinions backed by evidence rather than noise.I’ve worked on building skills in financial modeling, valuation techniques, and company analysis across sectors like technology, healthcare, consumer, and industrials. I’m comfortable working with tools like Excel, Bloomberg, and financial databases, but more importantly, I focus on understanding the story behind the numbers.I’m someone who believes in continuous learning. Markets evolve, industries change, and new risks emerge staying curious and adaptable is essential. At the core, I aim to produce thoughtful, objective research and communicate ideas clearly and honestly.
