Ritu Sharma

Credit Analyst

Reading the numbers behind the risk

+91 11 5555 0378
linkedin.com/in/ritu-sharma-credit

Commercial credit analyst with seven years assessing mid-market lending risk for a scheduled bank, covering a portfolio of roughly 120 borrowers worth around ₹900 crore. Spreads and interprets financial statements, builds cash-flow and covenant models, and writes the credit memos that go to committee. Pairs hard analysis with sector judgement — knowing when a soft ratio is a real warning and when it's just a lumpy year. Helped hold the book's NPA rate below 1.5% through a tightening cycle by flagging two stressed accounts early enough to restructure. Comfortable presenting a recommendation to senior credit committee and defending it. Looking for a lender that values rigorous, independent credit judgement over rubber-stamping.

Professional Experience

Meridian Commercial Bank - New Delhi, India

Credit Analyst (Mid-Market) April 2018 to Present 8 years & 4 months

Own a portfolio of ~120 mid-market borrowers (~₹900 crore exposure), spreading financials, building cash-flow models and writing the credit memos that go to senior committee.
Kept the portfolio's NPA rate under 1.5% through a tightening cycle by flagging two stressed accounts six-plus months early, allowing restructuring before default.
Built a standardised covenant-monitoring tracker in Excel that cut the monthly review cycle from five days to two and surfaced breaches the old process missed.
Lead the annual review process for the top 20 exposures, presenting recommendations directly to credit committee and defending the rating rationale.
Partner with relationship managers on new deals, structuring limits and security to balance risk appetite against winning the business.
Mentor two junior analysts on statement spreading and sector benchmarking, reviewing their memos before they go up the chain.

Capital First Finance - New Delhi, India

Junior Credit Analyst August 2017 to March 2018 8 months

Spread financial statements and computed ratio packs for SME loan applications, handling 30-40 files a month.
Drafted first-cut credit notes and bureau-report summaries for senior analysts, building the memo-writing foundation.
Built early sector benchmark sheets (textiles, auto-ancillary) that the team reused across comparable deals.
Learned the discipline of tying every recommendation to evidence in the numbers, which earned the move to the mid-market desk.
Education

Shri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi

Bachelor of Commerce (Honours), Finance (July 2012 to June 2015)

Honours commerce degree with a concentration in corporate finance and financial reporting, graduating in the top decile of the cohort. Final-year project analysed default prediction using accounting ratios, which sparked the move into credit risk specifically. Active in the finance society, running stock-pitch sessions for juniors.

Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP)

FRM (Financial Risk Manager), Part I & II (January 2016 to November 2017)

Cleared both levels of the FRM, covering quantitative analysis, credit and market risk, and risk modelling. Deepened the modelling side of the job well beyond ratio analysis, particularly around expected-loss and PD/LGD frameworks. Directly applied when the bank moved to an internal-ratings-based approach.
Key Contributions

Caught two stressed accounts early

Flagged two deteriorating exposures more than six months before default by spotting cash-conversion-cycle drift the routine review missed. Early warning let the bank restructure rather than write off, protecting several crore in exposure and keeping the portfolio NPA rate under 1.5%.

Rebuilt covenant monitoring

Designed a standardised covenant-tracking workbook that cut the monthly review from five days to two and automatically surfaced breaches. The tool was adopted across the whole mid-market team as the monitoring standard.
Continued Learning

IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss Workshop

Institute of Banking Studies (September 2021 to September 2021)

Intensive workshop on the IFRS 9 / Ind AS 109 expected-credit-loss model, covering staging, PD term structures and forward-looking adjustments. Applied directly to the bank's provisioning and stress-testing work.
Certifications

FRM (Financial Risk Manager)

GARP (November 2017 to Present)

GARP's globally recognised risk credential, cleared across both levels covering credit, market and operational risk. It's the qualification that moved the work from pure ratio analysis into expected-loss modelling, and it carries weight in committee discussions. Maintained through ongoing professional development.

Moody's Credit Analysis Certificate

Moody's Analytics (June 2019 to Present)

Completed Moody's commercial credit analysis program covering statement spreading, cash-flow drivers and rating methodology. Standardised the analytical framework now used across the mid-market desk. Sharpened the link between qualitative business risk and the numbers.
