About

I'm devoted to using my skillset to provide nuanced solutions and improve value in my environments. I combine my data analytical aptitude and leadership skills with my passion for identifying and analyzing innovative ways to improve systems and processes. My background lies in Manufacturing environments such as SCM, QA and Production having worked in Maruti Suzuki, ThyssenKrupp and LG Electronics India as an undergraduate. As a Data Analytics Consultant with the UNDP and Comcast, I showcased my skills in Tech Strategy, Data Modelling and User Experience Optimization. On the other hand, being in Business Intelligence at Dassault Aviation allowed me to work closely with realistic market data and draw valuable insights from complex and unclean databases. I now work in the Analytics division at EXL to use my familiarity with data to consult with clients undergoing Digital Transformation. I graduated top of my class in Industrial Engineering at the Vellore Institute of Technology in India and recently obtained an M.Sc. in Management Science and Engineering at Columbia University. In doing so, I devoted myself to further advancing my academic capabilities and worked towards my goal of becoming a value enhancer in growing businesses. On a less serious note, I love reading comics and everything pop culture. There’s a good chance you’d find me at a party discussing fan theories about Star Wars or Game of Thrones. I never shy away from a good Karaoke challenge but I wish I could travel more. Perhaps to Mykonos for starters?
