About

I turn operational chaos into decisions people can act on. Four years across market research, business analysis, and data, the last 3+ years at Shell. At Shell, I built a centralised view of a $400M software licensing portfolio that cut unused spend, deployed a volume planning tool now running across Canada, Singapore, and Germany, and shipped dashboards that flag financial risk before it hits P&L. On the side, I built a Power App leaderboard for Shell Bangalore's internal games, tracking medals and points across multiple teams and events for the yearly games. Before Shell, I did market intelligence and research for Fortune 500 clients at Zinnov, and before that scaled a fantasy sports startup from 5 people to 25. Civil engineering background, MBA from IMI Delhi, 4x national strategy case winner. PMP certified. Comfortable in Power BI, SQL, Power Apps, Python. Looking at Business Analyst, Data Analyst, or IT Project Manager roles across India, Malaysia, Singapore, Netherlands and Australia.
