What I'm looking for

I’m interested in Sales, Marketing, Business Development and NPD roles where food-industry knowledge, consumer insights and data-driven analysis can support business growth and product innovation.

At Diet Foods International, I researched functional and health-oriented food products, examining formulation, consumer demand, and market positioning. I also compared ingredients, nutritional profiles, preservatives, and packaging systems across commercial foods.

On a live project for Adinath Agro, I conducted market and consumer surveys to identify trends and inform New Product Development. I also used sensory analysis to evaluate product quality and consumer preferences.

As an Industrial Trainee at Global Gourmet, I worked on product branding and presentation through visual merchandising, catalogue design, and product photography. I’m interested in bringing my food-industry knowledge and consumer insights to roles in sales, marketing, business development, or NPD.
