About

I solve problems at the intersection of business, technology, and data — and I'm most energised when the problem is genuinely ambiguous. I'm an MBA candidate at SIBM Pune (Class of 2026) with a BBA in Information Technology from SICSR. I can join a morning strategy session and dig into data modelling by afternoon. I think in hypotheses, communicate with frameworks, and iterate until the answer holds. Here's what I've built so far: At Karnika Industries (manufacturing, 500+ employees), I ran a cross-functional operational audit across 5 departments, redesigned inventory systems to cut discrepancy detection time by about 30%, and built Excel automations that freed up 4 staff hours weekly—all within a 2-month internship. 🔹 At Feedants (early-stage startup), I led user and competitor research that directly shaped a 4-month product roadmap, and drove a 15% uplift in user engagement — nearly double the 8% target set at campaign launch. 🔹 I hold a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt from Grant Thornton, completed the McKinsey Forward Program (structured problem-solving, communication under uncertainty), and have a published research paper on NLP/news clustering in Springer Nature. I'm drawn to consulting and product management because both reward the same instincts: breaking down complexity, forming hypotheses fast, and iterating relentlessly. Outside of academics, I stay close to competitive activities — such as strategy games, sports, and campus initiatives — because they sharpen my thinking about trade-offs, pattern recognition, and decision-making under constraints. I enjoy iterating, learning from feedback, and continuously improving, whether it’s a product idea, a presentation, or a game plan.
