About

👋 Hi, I’m Utkarsha — a curious and driven graduate student at Duke University, pursuing my Master of Engineering Management. I bring 2.5 years of experience at ZS Associates, working on product strategy, market research, and sales optimization for global healthcare clients. I’m currently working on a project involving an AI-driven behavioral analysis tool in preclinical neuroscience at St3DIO and have shaped product marketing and go-to-market strategies for wellness startups like GritFit. I'm passionate about using data, creativity, and technology to solve real problems — especially at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and product marketing. I enjoy building thoughtful strategies, working with cross-functional teams, and turning insights into action. 📌Actively seeking full time opportunities starting from Jan’26 in product marketing, strategy, or analytics—especially in the healthcare or tech space. Let’s connect if you’re working on something exciting in health tech, AI, or product strategy — I’d love to learn from your journey 📫 umb3@duke.edu | +1 9194086870
