What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my experience in market research, business strategy, operations, and data analysis to practical business problems while growing in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

I've supported founder-office strategy at Trinity Gaming, analyzing gaming agencies, creator platforms, and esports businesses to map monetization models, partnerships, and whitespace in the gaming-creator economy.

I maintain campaign and partnership trackers, structure recurring reports, and coordinate work across business development, creator management, and operations. I also supported strategic projects in a fast-moving startup environment while tracking trends in short-form content, livestreaming, and brand integrations.

At Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, I processed vendor invoices, reconciled accounts, verified purchase orders, and helped clear month-end invoice backlogs through the ERP system.

I've also conducted market research and go-to-market analysis for BetaFin Partners, curated 100+ course listings at RiseUpp, and built a Python rent-forecasting model using 2,000+ real-estate listings. My work combines structured research, Excel-based analysis, business modeling, and practical execution.
