Mapping Complex Ownership Structures
Anurag builds clear pictures of corporate ownership in situations where the structure is deliberately or incidentally opaque. He works through multi-layered shareholding chains, identifies Ultimate Beneficial Owners, and surfaces the connections that matter for a risk or investment decision. This pattern ran consistently through his work at KPMG, where he covered high-risk entities across multiple jurisdictions using global corporate registries and professional data tools. His approach is to organize findings into a structure that makes the risk picture legible, not just complete. The output is always oriented toward what a decision-maker needs to act.

Synthesizing Research Into Structured Outputs
Anurag takes fragmented or voluminous data and organizes it into outputs that make the key findings and risks immediately clear. He does not present raw data; he structures it so the reader knows what matters and what to do next. This showed up at KPMG in the format of his due diligence reports, where findings were organized under consistent subheadings covering sanctions, adverse media, and red-flag commentary. It showed up at Bajaj Energy in the form of a SWOT-based sector report that synthesized government policy, market data, and internal interviews into a single recommendation. The pattern is consistent: complex inputs, structured output, decision-ready findings.

Sector Research and Investment Analysis
Anurag approaches sector research by combining publicly available data, government policy analysis, and direct conversations with practitioners. He builds a view from multiple sources and structures it around the investment or strategic question at hand. At Bajaj Energy, he applied this to the renewable energy sector, gathering market data, reading policy documents, interviewing internal leaders, and delivering a recommendation on solar investment that held up under stakeholder challenge. He also tracks sectors he is not actively working on, reading published research from sources including Zerodha's Varsity and Substack, to build a broader market view that informs his analytical thinking.

When a stakeholder pushes back, that is usually a signal to dig deeper, not a reason to defend what you already found.”
