## About

I’m a Pharmaceutical Management professional and researcher focused on solving strategic and commercial problems across the pharma and healthcare industry\. My work sits at the intersection of pharmaceutical strategy, business development, market research, competitive intelligence, and data\-driven decision\-making\. During my PhD research at NIPER, I have studied 200\+ pharmaceutical licensing transactions in India, examining how companies identify partners, structure licensing agreements, and make decisions around innovation and commercialization\. I have combined secondary research, industry insights, and primary research with 50\+ pharma professionals to identify patterns and strategic factors influencing partnership decisions\. What I enjoy most is turning complex information into clear business insights—whether that means: Assessing a market or competitive landscape Identifying business development opportunities Evaluating potential partners and licensing opportunities Structuring and analyzing market/industry data Translating research into actionable strategic recommendations Building dashboards, visualizations, and decision\-support frameworks My approach is simple: understand the problem → analyze the evidence → identify the key insight → translate it into an actionable recommendation\. I’m particularly interested in opportunities across Pharma/Healthcare Consulting, Strategy, Business Development, Market Intelligence, Commercial Strategy, and Management Consulting, where I can combine my pharmaceutical domain knowledge with analytical and problem\-solving skills\. Core areas: Pharmaceutical Strategy \| Business Development \| Licensing & Partnerships \| Competitive Intelligence \| Market Research \| Business Analytics \| Data Visualization \| Management Consulting
