Background

About Karishma Udeshi

I’m a sophomore at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, pursuing a career at the intersection of finance, investment strategy, and socially responsible leadership. My cross-continental internship with JAR Capital across Geneva and Dubai strengthened my understanding of portfolio construction, NAV monitoring, and macroeconomic analysis across public and private markets. Previously, I served as a Finance Intern at FAEC, where I deepened my forecasting and modelling skills. On campus, I’ve been a Junior Analyst in the BU Finance & Investment Club, represented BU in the CFA Institute Research Challenge, and actively contribute to programs that push me to think critically and globally—like the EY Expedition (Advanced Scholar,$5K Awardee), Goldman Sachs Virtual Insight Series, and Career.edYOU Academy at JPMorgan Chase. I’m also a proud member of the Forté Career Ready Fall 2025 Cohort and was recently inducted into the LOCK Honorary Service Society, where I support academic excellence through peer tutoring at Questrom. Beyond finance, I serve as Vice President of BU Jains in Voice and Action, a mentor through Ascend and the International Peer Mentor Program, and a member of herNetwork: BU Women in Business. I’m fluent in English, Hindi, and Turkish, bringing a multicultural lens to every room I walk into. I’m passionate about building relationships, uplifting peers, and making sense of complex systems. kudeshi@bu.edu
