- Quant employment verification: NOT CONFIRMED. A complete career timeline was reconstructed, but no role or internship at a quantitative trading, market-making, hedge-fund, or systematic/algorithmic-trading firm appears. Employers are: DuPont (industrial chemicals; 2011 internship), IIT Bombay (academic teaching assistant), NYU (academic graduate research assistant), Atidiv (data/analytics services outsourcing), Fractal Analytics (AI/analytics consultancy), Piramal Capital & Housing Finance (non-bank lending / housing finance), and Fidelity Investments (asset manager; role is Senior Data Scientist in an 'AI CoE', not a quantitative research/trading role). Fidelity is an investment-management firm, but the documented role is data science, not quant finance. Identity is supported (IMO record for Ankit Ashok Baraskar, India 2008) but the Olympiad and LinkedIn identities are not directly cross-linked in any single source, so uncertainty is retained.
- Full index-derived career timeline: Intern at DuPont (2011); Graduate Teaching Assistant, IIT Bombay (2012-2013); Integrated B.Tech+M.Tech Chemical Engineering, IIT Bombay (2008-2013); Master's in Mathematics, NYU (2013-2015); Graduate Research Assistant, NYU; Associate, Data Science, Atidiv (2017-2019); Senior Data Scientist, Fractal Analytics (2019-2021); Assistant Vice President, Piramal Capital & Housing Finance (2021-2022); Senior Data Scientist, Fidelity Investments (2022-present). Dates are from LinkedIn index enrichment and the RocketReach aggregator; no primary-source confirmation of individual dates.
- Identity note: the IMO record (Ankit Ashok Baraskar, India, IMO 2008, bronze, 16 pts) and the LinkedIn profile (Ankit Baraskar, Bengaluru data scientist) share the name and Indian origin, but no located source directly cross-links the Olympiad contestant to the LinkedIn profile; the union rests on the caller's asserted identity, not a verified cross-link.
- Represented India at the 2008 International Mathematical Olympiad, scoring 16 points (P1=7, P4=7) for a bronze medal, rank 212. Listed as Ankit Ashok Baraskar on imo-official.org.Jul 2008
