Rakshit Marwah is a student at Deira International School in the UAE. He discovered his passion for finance as a finalist in a prestigious stock pitch competition organised by FundamentalWealth. During the competition, he presented his pitch on Ferrari NV to experts affiliated with the Big Four.
Beyond finance, Rakshit co-founded his school’s Entrepreneurship Bootcamp club. The club aims to encourage innovation and risk-taking among KS3 students.
Rakshit also gained corporate experience through summer internships at Al-Futtaim. He worked first in the Tax Department and later in Procurement. These roles helped him develop valuable insights and skills for his future career.
Research on the Rationality Behind Losing Actions
Rakshit’s research paper, “Playing the Odds: A Deeper Understanding of the Rationality Behind Partaking in Losing Actions,” was accepted for presentation at the Emerging Research Paradigms in Business and Social Sciences (ERPBSS 2024) in Dubai.
Organised by Middlesex University Dubai, ERPBSS 2024 brought together academics, policymakers, and industry leaders from around the world. The event followed a hybrid format, offering opportunities to share research and exchange ideas.
