About

My professional journey is built on a unique foundation: a B.Tech in Food Technology combined with an MBA in Marketing. I am deeply passionate about consumer behavior, marketing, and strategic planning, and I specialize in turning these insights into tangible business growth. At present, as a Business Architecture Senior Analyst at Accenture, I translate strategic vision into technology-driven business solutions. My experience spans the full lifecycle of a product and business strategy: 🔹From Lab to Market: I accelerated time-to-market by optimizing R&D and production workflows at Newly Weds Foods. My time there also included safeguarding brand reputation and key client relationships through proactive quality assurance. 🔹Operational & Regulatory Excellence: At HealthKart, I drove significant sales growth by ensuring 100% FSSAI compliance for over 125 SKUs and accelerating time-to-market for three brands by 15% through cross-functional collaboration. 🔹Strategic & Consulting Projects: I led a pro bono strategy consulting project for Btribe Technologies, where I defined new offerings and created a financial model for portfolio diversification. I also shaped brand positioning for Rise Up Beverages by uncovering consumer taste drivers through primary market research. 🔹 Consumer Insights: I have a proven ability to refine product-experience narratives by translating expert sensory feedback from over 15 leading brands. My core skills include: -Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy, -Consulting, -FMCG Sales, -Consumer Behaviour, and -AI & Marketing. A key achievement includes being a National Semi-Finalist in the "AB InBev 100+ Challenge" for devising a winning GTM and sales growth strategy.
