About

Research Analyst currently developing my expertise in OSINT and Geopolitical Risk Analysis to transition from 3 years of corporate market research into geopolitical risk and policy analysis. I am seeking roles in geopolitical risk, intelligence, or policy research, where I can apply my acquired corporate skills, growing OSINT skills and analytical background to support strategic decision-making. With a Master’s in Public Policy from O.P. Jindal Global University and a Bachelor’s in Economics and Political Science from Christ University, I bring a blend of analytical rigor, strategic thinking, and policy understanding to my work. I have also gained exposure to international affairs through internships at GIZ, Observer Research Foundation (ORF), and the United Services Institution of India (USI), and I write regularly on Substack about global affairs and cultural narratives. At ITW Consulting, I have honed skills in market research, competitive benchmarking, trend analysis, and strategic reporting for global sports and media brands. At Justdial, I strengthened my data operations, business development skills, and communication capabilities through large-scale MSME research projects.
