I'm Ranjani. I work in audit, tax, and advisory — the kind of work where you spend your days making sense of things that don't always want to be made sense of. I've been doing this long enough to find it genuinely interesting, which I realise is a suspicious thing to say about compliance.

When I'm not reading FEMA sections or arguing with GST return portals, I'm usually watching cricket (I've done this for 12 years and I'm still not over Adelaide 2014), reading something I probably should have read years ago, thinking about momentum strategies on Indian equities, or writing — sometimes about all of the above, sometimes about none of it.

This site is my attempt to put all of those things in one place. A mille-feuille, if you will — many layers, occasionally messy, hopefully worth the effort of assembly.

the day job

I work in the Indian audit, assurance, and advisory space. My practice touches statutory audit under the Companies Act, income tax (including transfer pricing), GST, FEMA compliance, and the occasional foray into financial modelling and business advisory. If you've ever needed a Form 3CEB reviewed or a CARO checklist sanity-checked at midnight, we'd probably get along.

I'm also quietly obsessed with building systematic equity strategies — cash equities only, Nifty 100 universe, no derivatives. Trend-following, cross-sectional momentum, forced-flow edges. I'm better at backtesting than at patience, but I'm working on both.
