At Gartner, I developed 16 industry-specific GenAI use case prisms that became the most-read AI research in 2023 and were featured on Gartner's AI microsite. I also designed the Digital Automotive Index, ranking auto-software monetization potential across 24 global OEMs and 60 brands.

I lead data and AI strategy for Industries Research, deploying AI/ML workflows, ETL pipelines, knowledge graph pilots, and Power BI dashboards. My work reduced analyst inquiry preparation time by 75%, shortened research planning by 40%, and supported research planning across 200 global markets.

Previously at Gartner and CEB, I led quantitative research, survey programs, data products, and cross-industry research initiatives spanning financial services, banking, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, education, and retail. I've managed major research programs, primary research budgets, vendor participation, and teams of researchers while producing decision-ready insights for CIOs and senior stakeholders.

My foundation combines an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad with Electrical Engineering from IIT Madras. I enjoy turning fragmented data, complex market questions, and emerging technologies into practical research and strategy.
