About
Hi, I'm Sarthak Katyal, a student at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign studying Finance and Data Science. I have a deep interest in Finance, International Business, and the intersection of Business and Technology. At the U of I, I am actively involved in one management consulting group and one strategy consulting group. I am also an account manager at a tech consulting startup. In addition to that, I manage a modest investment portfolio filled with equities, fixed-income assets, and currencies. In my free time, I like reading and writing. Specifically, I like reading old books that people do not think are relevant anymore. I disagree; the wisdom of the past is more relevant now than ever before.
