What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented professional with an MBA in Operations and a background in Electronics Engineering. With experience in business analytics, project management, and strategy execution, I thrive in data-driven environments where I can optimize processes and drive business growth.
Currently, as an Assistant Manager at Reliance Retail, I handle business functions for over 2,500+ stores, managing a turnover of approximately ₹750 Cr. My role involves coordinating with cross-functional teams, analyzing market trends, optimizing margins, and improving operational efficiency. I have successfully reduced cost overruns by 5%, increased sales by balancing supply inefficiencies by 33%, and implemented process improvements that enhanced margins by 7%.
Previously, as a Manager of Business Development at Droni Tech, I focused on identifying new markets, building strategic partnerships, and streamlining sales processes. My ability to analyze business opportunities and foster client relationships helped drive revenue growth and enhance market presence.
Beyond my professional experience, I have led research projects analyzing business trends, customer behavior, and operational efficiency, such as a comparative analysis of e-business and retail management during the COVID-19 pandemic. My technical expertise includes proficiency in Python, SQL, MATLAB, data visualization, and digital marketing tools, which I leverage to derive insights and drive decision-making.
I am passionate about project management, business analytics, and digital transformation. With strong problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and a proactive approach, I aim to contribute to innovative and data-driven organizations that seek operational excellence and strategic growth.
