What I'm looking for

I seek a role driving data-led renewable energy transition and policy impact, with cross-functional collaboration, analytical challenge, and opportunities to influence government and industry stakeholders.

I am a research analyst focused on energy transition and climate risk, combining quantitative analysis with policy advocacy. Over the last four years I have built data-driven tools and reports to support renewable adoption across Indian states and industrial sectors.

At Climate Risk Horizons I developed dashboards and mechanisms to rank renewable adoption and repurposing suitability of thermal power plants, and created estimates of potential savings from replacing old thermal capacity. My analyses informed state-level discussions and engagement with bureaucrats and civil society.

Earlier roles include leading analytics and Tableau teams at Factspan Analytics and Indiumsoft, where I delivered recurring financial and operational reports, acted as SME for Tableau projects, and scaled a reporting team. I have also applied MCDA and scenario testing during an R&D internship in Germany.

I hold an international MBA with specializations in sustainability and climate change economics, and a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. I bring cross-functional experience in data modelling, BI, project management, and stakeholder engagement to drive measurable renewable transition outcomes.
