Bio

Jai is a freshman studying Economics and Computer Science with a big passion for finance and investment banking. His love for financial services started with his time at Caja Los Andes, a rural microfinance institution in Peru, where he worked to support underbanked communities and boost financial literacy. That experience sparked his curiosity about the bigger picture in finance and tech, leading him to intern at Paasa, a Y Combinator-backed global investment startup. At Paasa, Jai contributed to building a platform that simplifies global wealth-building by offering personalized investment strategies, dollar-denominated accounts, index investing, and tax-efficient tools to empower individuals to invest across borders with ease. When he’s not diving into finance or coding, you’ll probably find Jai playing basketball, making beats, or reading some of his favorite philosophy.
