About Vivek Kapadia

As an accomplished Accounting and Finance professional, I have spent last 15 years working in global finance across institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Nomura in Tokyo, and currently serve as Vice President at Crisil in Mumbai.My experience spans FP & A, product control, risk oversight and financial strategy within global investment banks. Over the years I have worked closely with business leaders and senior management to translate complex financial data into insights that support decision-making, risk management and operational efficiency.Working across different markets has given me a front-row view of how financial institutions operate — how capital is managed, how financial performance is measured, and how strategic decisions are made within large organizations.Alongside my professional work, I enjoy sharing perspectives on:• Finance careers and skills required in the industry• Markets and investing• How finance functions actually operate inside global companiesMy aim is simply to document practical lessons from working in finance — for students, professionals, and anyone curious about how the financial world really works.Outside of work I remain interested in financial markets, automation in finance, and applying data tools to improve decision-making.Views on Linked-in are absolutely personal.
