What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead research-backed strategy and business analysis, translate insights into GTM/pricing and operational improvements, and partner cross-functionally to build SOPs/SLAs and dashboards—using analytics and AI-accelerated research workflows.

I help turn market research into executable strategy—building go-to-market, pricing, and business cases that produce measurable outcomes. In my recent consulting work, I generated a ₹1.25+ crore pipeline through 200+ strategic research engagements across AI, SaaS, fintech, and logistics, converting 50+ prospects into onboarded accounts.

I also strengthen how teams operate. I diagnosed a systemic task-allocation failure, architected a five-factor framework that cut ticket resolution 67% (3 days → 1 day), and scaled it company-wide across 9 functions and 400+ specialists—successfully surviving an operating-model pivot.

From there, I build repeatable systems using business analysis and analytics. I’ve designed and deployed Zoho ERP workflows and SOP/SLAs—cutting reimbursement turnaround by 90% (3 weeks → 2–3 days) and reducing new-joiner training time by 43% (7 days → 4 days)—while improving research workflow output by doubling monthly deliverables.
