About

I’m a Business Strategy and Analytics professional with 2 years of experience helping global pharma clients and startups make smarter, data-backed decisions. At ZS Associates, I’ve led cross-functional initiatives spanning data analytics, platform enablement, and Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy, improving delivery efficiency by 25% and enabling product launches in billion-dollar markets. My expertise lies in SQL-based analytics, Power BI dashboarding, and scalable workflow design that translate complex data into actionable business insights. Beyond analytics, I’ve driven learning programs and process standardization frameworks that enhanced team productivity and improved operational efficiency. I’m passionate about solving ambiguous problems, building systems that scale, and enabling data-driven decision-making across teams. Earlier, I founded TheWakeInvestor, a financial literacy venture aimed at democratizing access to investing knowledge for young Indians. Leading content, marketing, and community-building initiatives that reached 50K+ organic views taught me how to build from scratch, experiment fast, and think with a first-principles and customer-first mindset, qualities I continue to bring into my work today. I thrive in high-ownership, fast-paced environments where data meets strategy. I’m now looking to contribute to high-growth organizations or startups that value analytical clarity, simplicity in execution, and long-term thinking. Let’s connect if you’re building something exciting in strategy, analytics, or growth, I’d love to collaborate and create impact.
