What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven role in a cross-functional startup or product team where I can build analytics-backed features, drive GTM strategies, and grow into product leadership.

I am an Associate Business Analyst with 1.5 years of experience bridging trade consulting and SaaS product execution, focusing on turning market insight into product features and client impact.

At Arthashastra Intelligence I led 0-to-1 development for three core B2B trade intelligence modules, coordinated cross-functional teams, implemented Mixpanel tracking, and improved feature adoption and delivery metrics.

I build interactive Power BI dashboards, complex Excel models, and GTM roadmaps that reduce research time and enable market entry; I bring a data-driven, client-focused approach to early-stage product and consulting environments.
