Niharika Gale

I’m a Power BI Developer and BI Analyst with 5+ years of experience designing executive-level dashboards, building data models, and automating ETL/reporting pipelines. I translate business requirements into scalable analytics solutions, with hands-on expertise in DAX, Power Query (M), SQL, and Python.

In my recent contract as a Database Analyst for the Indian Army (Nagpur), I designed and built SQL-based MIS dashboards for 350+ operational units, turning data from a 50,000+ record relational database into decision-ready KPI outputs for senior leadership. I optimized SQL queries to reduce data retrieval time by 20%, and I implemented automated data validation workflows to maintain 99% data integrity and security compliance.

Previously, as a Senior Manager – Power BI & MIS Analytics at Kotak Life Insurance (Mumbai), I delivered executive KPI dashboards in Power BI using DAX and Power Query transformations, and I built ETL/reporting pipelines using Power Query (M) and Excel VBA. I owned analytical QA and data reconciliation, drove Power BI adoption through mentoring, and achieved 100% on-time publishing of daily, weekly, and monthly MIS reports—end-to-end.
