About

As a dynamic professional with hands-on experience in research, data analysis, and policy formulation, I bring a unique blend of analytical and strategic skills honed through diverse roles. During my tenure as a Research Intern at ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, I contributed to crafting sustainable strategies through in-depth data analysis and policy recommendations, showcasing my ability to drive impact in complex environments. I completed my BA in Social Work at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, where I have cultivated a strong foundation in human rights, law, and social systems. My academic journey is complemented by internships at Gram Vikas, Saksham Yuva Federation, and Youth for Seva, which have refined my interpersonal skills and capacity for community engagement. With certifications like the BCG Strategic Consulting Program (Forage), I have sharpened my understanding of consulting frameworks. Additionally, I actively manage a diversified crypto and stock portfolio valued at ₹3.8 lakh, reflecting my analytical acumen and interest in financial markets. A proactive learner and innovator, I am passionate about leveraging my cross-functional expertise to drive data-driven decisions in finance and consulting. I am excited to collaborate with organizations where strategic thinking meets meaningful impact.
