Research Experience

Over the last three years, Rushil has conducted a multi-disciplinary study investigating the various factors that affect financial decision-making, in specifics relating to the aspects of cryptocurrencies. Through Rushil's innovative methodology and software development, he has explored the artificial growth of these digital assets.


Rushil's research delves into the fascinating realm of cryptocurrency investments, where celebrity endorsements play a significant role in shaping consumer behavior and market dynamics. By employing a novel psychological approach, Rushil aims to understand how these endorsements influence individuals' financial decisions and the subsequent impact on cryptocurrency markets. Central to Rushil's work is the development of cutting-edge software that enables the tracking and analysis of the artificial growth of cryptocurrencies. This software allows for the comprehensive examination of market patterns, investor sentiment, and the correlation between celebrity endorsements and price fluctuations. By leveraging this unique tool, Rushil has gained valuable insights into the interplay between psychological factors, celebrity influence, and financial decision-making in the cryptocurrency realm.
