RA @ IIM Ahmedabad | MSc, IIT Jodhpur | Strategy & Founder’s Office

About

I was a Research Associate at IIM Ahmedabad, where I worked on strategic research for India’s 2036 Olympic bid. The work involved taking ambiguous questions, digging through large amounts of information, benchmarking global examples, and turning that research into structured insights and arguments. I did my M.Sc. in Mathematical and Computational Economics at IIT Jodhpur. I also co-founded MIRAI, an AI-native portfolio intelligence platform for Indian retail investors. What started as an idea became a deep dive into investor behaviour, user research, competitor intelligence, GTM, positioning, and the startup ecosystem. We built the product, tested our assumptions, spoke with users and investors, and pitched MIRAI to Nexus Venture Partners and Elevation Capital before eventually deciding to shelve it. Those experiences made me realise what kind of work I enjoy. I like getting dropped into a problem I don’t fully understand yet and figuring it out understanding markets, talking to users, researching what already exists, finding gaps, and thinking about how an idea can actually reach the people it’s meant for. I’m now looking to work closer to strategy, GTM, market intelligence, and early-stage problem-solving in environments where I can take ownership, work across different problems, and learn by doing. If you’re working on something interesting and think there could be a fit, I’d love to talk. 📩 prudhvipatchikolla777@gmail.com
