What I'm looking for

I am looking for roles that emphasize a human-centered approach to data and technology, where I can leverage my skills in research and analysis to drive impactful change.

I am a dedicated data researcher with a strong background in social work and a passion for transforming qualitative insights into quantitative intelligence. My experience spans various roles where I have successfully managed large datasets and led community-driven studies. I thrive on using data to inform impactful program recommendations, ensuring that the human experience is at the forefront of research-driven roles.

During my tenure as a Research Associate at the Institute of Rural Management Anand, I conducted an impact assessment of CSR programs, significantly reducing data entry errors and enhancing reporting processes. My role as a Data Analytics Fellow at the Indian Political Action Committee allowed me to spearhead real-time voter behavior analysis, which directly influenced strategic decisions in the 2024 West Bengal elections. I take pride in my ability to create insightful dashboards and align field data with constituency models, ensuring that our findings are both accurate and actionable.

My academic background, with a Master’s in Social Work from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, complements my practical experience. I am eager to bring my interdisciplinary expertise in policy analysis, CSR evaluation, and digital campaigning to a dynamic team that values a human-centered approach to data and technology.
