Subhankar Shukla.

I'm in my fourth year at Rotman Commerce, graduating June 2027. University of Toronto Scholar. Cleared CFA Level I and I'm a Level II candidate. Most of my time goes into the kind of work that actually shows up on a desk: credit risk, valuation, deal judgment, and figuring out where the model is lying to you.

For eight months I worked at Emerging Market Investors Alliance on sovereign credit and ESG analysis across 72 emerging markets. The output included a 25-page paper on transition finance and Power BI dashboards that fed into institutional fixed-income mandates. This August I started at Qapita in Singapore as a valuation analyst intern, on exchange through the NUS Overseas Colleges program. I work on 409A valuations, from the cap table to the report, and built the team a searchable library of 56,000+ listed companies for picking comparables. Outside work, my NUS venture team built Counter, a pricing and menu co-pilot for Singapore cafés that compares prices, tests new ones, suggests menu and offer ideas, and tracks every competitor move. We pitched it at the Ahrefs office, judged by their CMO and Prof. Virginia Cha, and finished first of eight NOC teams.

When I'm not on a desk I tend to build the tooling I wish existed. AXIOM is a full equity-valuation engine: one DCF formula, nine archetype frameworks, every magic number written down so I can defend it. The Capital One / Discover teardown is an independent take on the $35B all-stock deal: three-case accretion/dilution, an eight-sheet workbook, and a contrarian thesis I then stress-tested against a year of actuals.

“Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.” (Buffett.) Most of my time goes to making sure that's less true tomorrow than it is today.

I'm recruiting for Jan to May 2027 internships in asset management, equity research, and capital markets. Toronto.
