At Google India Pvt. Ltd., I develop data-backed growth strategies and consumer insights, contributing to revenue opportunities across advertising categories. For Google India’s festive initiative, I developed a growth narrative grounded in Kantar survey research that drove $243M+ in incremental ad revenue.

I also identified an underserved segment in the Travel pod and developed a narrative on the Indian Gen Z traveler’s path to purchase, uncovering a $1M+ revenue opportunity. Across client categories, I spearheaded 12+ Strategic Initiative Projects that generated $8.5M+ in cumulative revenue opportunity.

To address manual narrative-building, I conceptualized and built Slide Weaver, an internal Gen-AI narrative agent that turns raw data into presentation-ready narratives. It reduced narrative-building time by up to 65% and saved 1,755 hours to date.

Previously, as a Research Analyst with the University of Cape Town’s Transforming Energy Access Program, I analyzed a database spanning 50+ programs and 3,400+ partners, mapped five energy transition pathways, and translated findings into 12 executive presentations. At the India China America Institute, I contributed to research on global teacher shortages and co-authored an analysis reviewing 140+ papers and data across 144 countries.
