I am an accomplished logic-driven analytics thinker and consultant
with about 5 years of experience in spearheading data-driven solutions and insights. I'm currently
pursuing a Master of Science in Business Analytics and Information Management from Purdue University,
West Lafayette, USA, have an MBA focused on Business Analytics from NMIMS Mumbai, India,
B.tech in Electronics and Communication from IIIT Sricity, India and honing my skills in statistical
modeling, optimization, big data & cloud technologies, data science and machine learning.
As an Analytics Consultant, I spearheaded impactful projects in manufacturing optimization and operational
efficiency for global Fortune 500 firms, identifying over $25M in cost savings. In a tech role, I
developed SAS-based fraud detection systems for a health insurance firm, cutting claim review time
from days to seconds and achieving 90% auto-approvals. Additionally, I optimized cash transit routes
for a bank during an internship, resulting in a 50% reduction in nationwide operating costs.
In addition to my industry work, I have a passion for teaching and developing future analytics talent. I serve as
a Visiting Faculty at NMIMS Mumbai,
teaching graduate courses in Basics of Big Data and Business Analytics. Being able to impart my
knowledge and experiences to shape the next generation of analytics professionals has been tremendously
rewarding.
