About
I am the CEO and Portfolio Manager for Desai Capital Management. The company specifically focuses on equity portfolio management and research. Previously, I was an Equity Analyst for seven years. I have been responsible for researching, modeling and generating investment ideas, including communication with senior executives and Wall Street analysts on a regular basis. In addition, I served on the portfolio management committee. In addition, I have previous experience in financial modeling, statistical modeling, transactions, valuation and equity/fixed-income research.
Previously, I was an Adjunct Professor in Applied Investment Management at the Kenan-Flagler School of Business at the University of North Carolina. This included mentoring aspiring analysts towards careers in equity analysis. I graduated with an MBA from the Fuqua (Duke) School of Business in 2011. This is in addition to having a Master of Science degree in Economics from Georgia Tech. I have experience conducting macroeconomic research. Furthermore, I am a CFA charter holder. I believe this gives me a technical and analytical foundation for investment management.
