Hi. I'm Aaron Weinman. Today I want to highlight Wall Street's brightest young talents who are navigating the choppiest market conditions they've ever seen in their short careers.

The rising stars list is a mammoth effort from Insider's finance team that involved scrutinizing hundreds of nominations from banks, investment firms, and hedge funds, among other parts of the Street's gargantuan apparatus.

After months of interviews and countless rounds of fact checking, meet 25 best-in-class investors, traders, and dealmakers under the age of 35, from firms like JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Apollo, among others.

Insider's Alex Morrell, Alyson Velati, Asia Martin, Carter Johnson, Dakin Campbell, Danielle Walker, Hayley Cuccinello, Rebecca Ungarino, and Reed Alexander talked to this year's stars about their successes and challenges.

1. Here is the latest crop of rising stars — Wall Streeters under the age of 35 who are pushing their teams to the top. Insider's stellar team of reporters scoured their source books, canvassed hundreds of people throughout the industry, and went through a ton of recommendations to determine this list.

The end result celebrates people from all walks of life who are infusing new ideas at the biggest firms.

Take Akash Pradhan, a 33-year-old principal at investment firm TPG. He leads investments in software and enterprise technology. He works across the firm's funds TPG Capital and TPG Growth, and also covers TPG's impact-oriented initiative called The Rise Fund.

He's a big basketball fan — particularly the Golden State Warriors — and the 6'1 executive likes to shoot hoops to clear his head. When he's not working on his jump shot, he fancies a chicken tikka masala to break up his day of billion-dollar decision making.

Get to know a little more about Pradhan and 24 other up-and-comers who are making waves on Wall Street.
