Building Research from Public Sources

Anshika builds her research picture by exhausting publicly available sources before going back to any stakeholder. The discipline is consistent: registries, annual reports, regulatory filings, and adverse media are worked through first. This approach has been applied across her KPMG portfolio, where she manages due diligence for a large number of clients spanning multiple jurisdictions and financial product types. The mechanism is practical: if a client can find the information publicly, asking them for it wastes their time and signals poor preparation. Going in with only the gaps that genuinely require client input protects the relationship and speeds the process. At Indian Angel Network, the same instinct shaped how she tracked sectors, reading publicly available signals to form views before engaging further.

Structured Risk Assessment Across Jurisdictions

Anshika evaluates risk across four consistent dimensions: jurisdiction exposure, entity type, financial product complexity, and sanctions and PEP screening results. The framework is applied regardless of the client's geography or product type. This has been tested across US, UK, and UAE regulatory environments, covering financial products from mutual funds to trusts, endowments, and private operating companies. High-risk flags, such as Cayman Islands jurisdiction or government-linked entities, are identified and escalated with a clear summary of the evidence. The strategic value is consistency: the same structured approach produces comparable risk pictures across very different client profiles, making it easier for senior stakeholders to act on the findings. When cases are genuinely ambiguous, she escalates early with a precise framing of what is known, what is uncertain, and what decision is needed.

Consumer and Sector Pattern Recognition

Anshika reads behavioral and market patterns from observation and translates them into a point of view. At Indian Angel Network, she tracked pharma-logistics startups and formed an early view on medicine delivery as a structural opportunity, driven by gaps in the stockist layer and the potential of fast delivery in a high-urgency category. At Colgate-Palmolive, she observed that consumer purchase decisions were shaped more by visibility and advertising than by product quality, and that the pattern split by demographic. Younger shoppers followed social media signals; mid-career shoppers responded to eye-level placement. In both cases, the instinct was the same: watch what is actually happening, identify the gap between what should be happening and what is, and form a view. This is an emerging pattern across two contexts, with the strongest evidence coming from the Indian Angel Network sector work.
