It may be quite difficult to get a Equity research/Debt Reserch/Analysis job, just based on L1 qualification.

How is CFA recognized in India? Specially where in you are currently working?

But since you are already working for an IB, it may be easier for you to do a lateral shift in the same company.

Other than that, keep appropriate people/bosses in that area informed about your interests, intentions and about your being CFA L1 candidate. Also, surely broadcast it among them when you have cleared it.

Another more sure way to get in where you want to be, is by doing a full time MBA in finance but from a REPUTABLE business school ONLY.

This is what I understand. Others may not agree with me.

Best.
