I am pleased to write this recommendation in strong support of Shivin, who recently completed his internship with our company, IIFL Wealth Management, from 1st February to 29th July 2022. IIFL Wealth is the country’s leading Private Wealth setup, managing assets across 1500 leading promoters and UHNI families in India with over USD $ 44 billion in on-shore and off-shore assets. We pride ourselves on our research capabilities and product innovation vis a vis the broad market and consider these as the cornerstones of our success thus far. During his 6 months internship with our organization, Shivin worked across different verticals and was able to get insights into Wealth Management, Estate Planning, Equity Trading, Private Equity and Real Estate. He had the opportunity to sit in on meetings with our fund managers and strategy team as they discussed strategy and trends in India’s equity markets. Demonstrating a keen intuition for upcoming trends in finance, Shivin was especially interested in learning more about our digital products – IIFL Wealth Management App, IIFL Markets App, and spent several days understanding how we are using fintech tools to provide more bespoke solutions to clients portfolios. He was also keenly interested in our last proposition which is

While Shivin’s six months stay at IIFL Wealth he achieved significantly more than what is expected for a normal intern. When he joined he introduced me to the concept of algorithms used in trading and that he has been building one by himself for over a year. I overlooked that discussion initially, however when he completed the code and showed me the algorithm running live and making profits in almost all kinds of market conditions, I was beyond impressed. Shivin is truly a very talented fellow who has a lot of potential if given the opportunity to avail it. If he is doing all this, just starting off in the field of finance, I can only imagine the level he will achieve going further in life. Shivin is extremely valuable and unique in his own way, he has my highest recommendation for any finance based opportunity.
