I Automate the Hard Parts of Survey Research | Co-Founder at Prosent.ai | Ex J.D. Power & Kantar (Formerly TNS)

About

I've spent 24 years doing the hard work of market research data science — at TNS/Kantar and J.D. Power across India and Singapore. Data processing, verbatim coding, survey programming, dashboards, automation. I've led teams, managed global clients, and built pipelines that turned messy raw data into clean, actionable insights. I know how long this work takes. And I know how much of it is repetitive, manual, and frankly — ripe for automation. That's why I co-founded Prosent (www.prosent.ai). Prosent is an end-to-end survey automation platform built specifically for market researchers, insight teams, and analysts. It handles the entire survey lifecycle — from converting Word questionnaires into live surveys in one click, to data cleaning, verbatim auto-coding, analytics, and dashboard report generation. Work that used to take days now takes minutes. If you run surveys — whether at a research agency, a corporate insights team, or in academia — and you're still doing this work the manual way, I'd genuinely love to show you what's possible. Feel free to connect or message me directly. Areas of expertise: Market Research | Survey Automation | Data Science | Machine Learning | NLP | Python | SAS | SPSS | Data Visualisation | People-Project-Stakeholder Management
