What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine finance, market intelligence, and strategic planning—building dashboards, forecasts, and executive narratives that help leadership make faster, data-driven decisions.

I’m a Finance & Strategy Analyst (MBA-qualified in Finance & Marketing) with experience in financial analysis, strategic planning (STRAP/AOP), and market/competitive intelligence. I build financial summaries that surface value creation drivers and translate complex data into clear narratives for senior leadership.

At Tata Consultancy Services, I’ve owned executive briefings and on-demand analyses across revenue, margin, headcount, and pipeline metrics—helping improve revenue by 10% through sharper performance tracking and decision-ready insights. I also improved forecast accuracy by 15% by combining rigorous margin analysis with pipeline conversion tracking in partnership with Finance and Delivery teams.

I lead recurring market intelligence—monitoring macro/regulatory/technological developments and tracking competitor financial performance and positioning—to inform corporate planning across healthcare, life sciences, energy, and technology (cloud & AI). I complement this with analytics and operational excellence by building automated dynamic Excel dashboards that cut manual reporting time by 30% and streamline workflows, while also supporting strategic frameworks like AOP exercises and segment attractiveness assessments.
