What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my skills in data science, business intelligence, and market research to drive impactful business strategies. I am particularly inclined towards opportunities that offer remote work, enabling flexibility while contributing to innovative and data-driven projects in a collaborative environment.

Driven Data Scientist & Product Analyst with ~4 years of experience leveraging data to drive business growth, user engagement, and product performance in the financial services domain.

I specialize in user behavior analysis, experimentation, and data-driven decision-making, with hands-on experience in cohort analysis, funnel optimization, and statistical modeling to improve retention, conversion, and revenue outcomes.

At Kotak Securities, I have built end-to-end analytics solutions, including interactive dashboards using Streamlit, defined product metrics frameworks, and led experiment-driven growth initiatives that improved onboarding and engagement. My work has contributed to double-digit improvements in key product metrics and more efficient decision-making across teams.

Previously, at Piramal Capital, I worked on fraud analytics and risk modeling, applying machine learning and statistical techniques to analyze large-scale transaction data, improve detection accuracy, and enable proactive risk management.

I enjoy solving complex problems by combining analytical rigor with product intuition — focusing not just on what is happening, but why it’s happening and how it can be improved. Core areas of interest: Product Analytics & Growth Experimentation & A/B Testing Data Science & Machine Learning User Behavior & Customer Insights

I’m currently open to Product Analyst, Data Scientist, Data Analyst, and AI-focused roles, especially in global and remote-first teams. Let’s connect if you’re looking to turn data into impactful product and business decisions.
