Akshita Sareen
@akshitasareen
I’m a research associate combining data analysis, hospitality operations, and customer-focused delivery to drive evidence-based decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated operations, research and hospitality professional with over four years of experience supporting business operations, customer engagement, research projects and service delivery across international environments. I thrive in fast-paced settings where accuracy, coordination, problem-solving, and consistent operational standards matter most.
In my current role as a Research Associate at Paperpedia Pvt. Ltd., I conduct structured literature reviews, analyse quantitative and qualitative information, and prepare professional research reports and presentations. I manage multiple assignments and deadlines while maintaining strict documentation, referencing, and data integrity to ensure client-ready, decision-support outputs.
Earlier, I strengthened my operational execution and research foundation through roles including a Management Trainee program with Marriott International and research work at Lovely Professional University. Across hospitality and academic projects, I’ve supported planning and coordination, inventory and documentation processes, statistical analysis in SPSS and R Studio, and clear communication of findings—so I can turn complex work into practical outcomes.
