I am a master's graudate in Global Management,with a major in Finance from Euromed Management(2010-2011), Marseille, France. Prior to my Master's I completed my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering,Mumbai(2005-2009).
I wish to pursue a career in Finance and am really keen on working for a french multinational that has offices in India.

I did a six month international internship(June 2011-November 2011),working with a german firm PROMAN GMBH based in Dusseldorf. The firm dealt in the engineering , planning and studies of petrochemical plants for its clients primarily based in North America. I was in-charge of developing a new budget model for its petrochemical Plants using a database application(Access 2007).My responsibilities included,but were not restricted to the following :
Management Intern(Project Control) with PROMAN GmbH, Dusseldorf, Germany.
-In charge of developing a new budget model for the company’s petro-chemical plants using a database application. (Access 2007).
-Liaised with personnel from other departments to collect and analyze technical data.
-Created new parameters and functions (tables, forms, queries, macros) in the budget and strategically inter-linked them to produce a dynamic budget model.
-Engineered processes that engendered automatic updates of functions within the budget.
-Computed and analyzed logistical and various other plant related costs (Labour, Engineering, Construction, Fabrication, Procurement etc.) incurred by the Company, its sub-contractors and clients in different currencies (USD, EUR, OMR).
-Developed and linked multiple back-ends within the budget structure using substantive VBA & SQL programming.
-Provided actionable changes within the budget structure for ad-hoc modifications later on.
-Prepared an easy-to-use Instruction Manual explaining the functions and procedures of the budget model.
-Succeeded in developing a model that facilitated greater ease of use and cleared beta tests.

I am passionate about financial markets and like to keep myself abreast of the financial press.
My interests in finance include,but are not restricted to,Capital Markets,Investment and Risk Management,Financial Securities Analysis,Financial Modelling, Stastics and Accounting.During my Master's program I was part of the collegiate Financial Association (COBFI), which launched an International Financial Newsletter.As part of this international project I published a series of 3 well- received financial articles on the Indian Equity Markets(Jan- May 2011). This entailed detailed analyses of the performances of Indian Stock Markets along with comparative financial analyses of various firms in India and other parts of Asia across such sectors as Automobile, Energy and Gas,IT.Eventually I pitched growth stocks based on Fundamental Analysis.
Also,during the first semester of my Master's program,I have been Chief Teaching Assistant for a team of 5 multi-cultural Teaching Assistants, during a financial seminar , conducted in Euromed by an American Fulbright Professor Dr. Nancy J.Scannell, tiled 'The Risk- Return Tradeoff- The lessons learnt by a new generation of managers in the aftermath of a global financial meltdown'.

I am passionate about French as well. Before going to france for my master's I completed three levels in French upto B1 from Alliance Francaise de Bombay. Also, during my master's program I completed a course in Advanced French from my university.The aforementioned aspects, I believe ,justify my inclination toward working with a french multinational.
