About

Most organisations don't struggle because they lack data—they struggle because they lack clarity. My passion is helping businesses turn complex data into decisions that drive measurable outcomes. With 8+ years of experience across India and Europe, I've led analytics initiatives spanning BFSI & Healthcare for global organizations. My career has evolved from building analytics solutions to leading enterprise analytics strategy, enabling business leaders to make faster, smarter decisions through scalable data products. Today, I lead Analytics & BI initiatives focused on modernizing enterprise reporting, implementing Microsoft Fabric-powered analytics platforms, and designing KPI frameworks that align technology with business objectives. I enjoy working at the intersection of business strategy, analytics, and AI—where data becomes a competitive advantage rather than just another reporting function. Some highlights from my journey include: • Led reporting modernization through Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, delivering 80+ reports, eliminating 100+ hours of manual effort per month, and enabling self-service analytics. • Developed a Microsoft Fabric and Copilot Studio Agentic AI proof of concept for finance analytics, integrating Fabric IQ to deliver context-aware insights and converting the PoC into an $80K full-scale implementation opportunity. • Building analytics solutions for Fortune 500 banking clients and NHS workforce programs, including analytics for over 1.3 million employees and data models that saved more than 120 hours of manual effort each week. • Mentored junior associates to analyze business problems through data lens, delivering tailored BI solutions for stakeholders to enable swift decision-making. Beyond technology, I enjoy partnering with business leaders to define analytics roadmaps, establish governance frameworks, mentor high-performing teams, and translate complex business problems into practical, data-driven solutions. My expertise includes: • Analytics Strategy & Leadership • Product Analytics • Finance Transformation • KPI Framework Design • Data Strategy & Governance • AI-Powered Analytics • Executive Reporting & Data Storytelling • Cross-functional Stakeholder Management • Analytics Consulting & Pre-sales • Tech Stack: Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, SQL, Python, Co-Pilot I'm always interested in connecting with professionals who are passionate about Analytics Leadership, Enterprise BI, Microsoft Fabric, AI, and building data-driven organizations.
