## About

```text
At Syngene International, I built an AI-enabled competitive intelligence platform integrating AlphaSense and S&P Capital IQ with Excel and Power BI. It cut Board reporting from one week to one day.

I also built a Power BI dashboard benchmarking 12 peers, and led an Indian laxative market assessment using expert interviews and competitor analyses. The assessment identified an underserved mid-price segment adopted by the commercial team.

At Capgemini Invent, I advised C-suite stakeholders on growth opportunities and delivered strategy and competitive intelligence engagements across industries. I authored eight thought leadership publications on Generative AI, Industry 4.0, ESG and enterprise technology trends.

Earlier, at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I implemented the technical architecture of Oracle Identity Manager for a US insurer, helping strengthen compliance and cut security incidents by 30%. My work spans strategic research, market intelligence and translating complex developments into insights for senior executives.
