During my internship at BZAAR, I successfully executed comprehensive data quality assessments and manipulated data for critical projects.

I also advised the procurement division on cost reduction strategies, resulting in a 20% reduction in COGs. I have experience in data visualization using PowerBi and SQL, effectively communicating key insights to stakeholders.

In my virtual internship at KPMG, I assessed data quality and conducted in-depth customer data analysis, leading to a 25% increase in revenue. I optimized customer targeting through Excel dashboards, enabling data-driven decisions and compelling presentations.

I have also worked on several projects, including investigating the impact of trade liberalization on the Indian manufacturing industry, creating a comprehensive HR analytics dashboard, building a diabetes patient prediction system using Python and ML models, and conducting a comprehensive analysis of India's fiscal policies and reforms.
