ALOK VARUN — Associate Consultant
I am pursuing masters of Economics from IIT Roorkee, with a strong interest in data analytics, economic research, and policy evaluation. My career focus is on applying quantitative tools and research insights to solve real-world problems in consulting, development, and business strategy. As a Research Associate at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (NABARD Project), I led large-scale field research across multiple states, conducting household surveys and stakeholder interviews. I analyzed socio-economic datasets using Excel, Stata, and Python, providing insights that contributed to improving tribal development programs by 10–15%. At IIT Roorkee, I worked as a Data Analyst, where I built interactive dashboards and financial models in Power BI, Excel, and Python, enhancing policy performance tracking and improving decision-making efficiency by ~30%. Beyond professional roles, I have completed impactful projects such as evaluating the PM-Kisan scheme’s effect on agricultural productivity (+8–10%), conducting econometric research on Malthusian theory in India, and analyzing balance sheets to uncover revenue mobilization strategies for state governments. I am skilled in Python, SQL, R, Power BI, Stata, Excel, and SPSS, and passionate about transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive growth, efficiency, and inclusive development. My goal is to leverage my skills in data analysis, policy research, and consulting to create evidence-based solutions for organizations and society.
