What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to apply my skills in a collaborative environment.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Accounting, Auditing & Performance Management at Grenoble Ecole de Management, building on my Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Vels Institute of Science, Technology & Advanced Studies. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in financial accounting, management principles, and operations research, which I have applied in various projects and internships.

In my role as an Administrator at Sri Sai Enterprises, I have honed my skills in managing daily operations, analyzing sales and purchase data, and streamlining processes for a team of five. My internship at AN Cuisnies allowed me to develop a comprehensive marketing plan that included innovative strategies to enhance the restaurant's unique selling proposition. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in a dynamic business environment that values growth and collaboration.
