domains. Skilled in Python, PySpark, SQL, and Azure for building scalable machine learning models, automating big
data pipelines, and deriving insights from complex datasets. Proven expertise in pricing promotion analytics, MMM,
and stakeholder engagement.
This RGM Project required us to provide end to end value insights and support to client regarding Pricing,
Promotion, Distribution and overall how they affect the revenue. We developed and maintained over 60
Reports and Simulators on Power-BI, Excel and React to be utilized everyday by client. We used Nielsen
POS data, Internal financial data and our model outputs for that.
We had a robust Pricing and Promotion Bayesian Regression model for predictive analytics. Ranging over
2.5 years with this client, Feature engineered various modelling variables like Media Variables and Panel
data(House hold penetration) into the model and was responsible for Model Validation.
Developed logic and Coded several analytics reports including NPOD, Price index Traffic light, Elasticity
tool, waterfall tool, length and frequency , Next best action tool to name a few. Leveraged Pyspark to
handle weekly Big Data of over thousands of SKUs/UPCs and around 250 PPGs.
Created Pipelines and Triggers on Azure DataBricks for regular refreshes to incorporate latest data. Lever-
aged Databricks for version control and data quality control.
Utilised SQL/SSMS to create and manage Relational data for Demand and forecast handling of over 23
retailers incl. Walmart. Collaborated with Full stack developers to implement authentication base React
APIs to real time track actualized demand and new forecast numbers happening periodically.
As a consultant, understood client problem statements and led a team of 3-Data engineers to handle every-
day ad-hoc analytical requirements. Led team of Power Bi Analysts to create Dashboards and Volunteered
to emulate US Power bi Dashboards for Canada market POC which eventually led to Full scale billed project
.Helped client realize value of over 270 Million Dollars over 2023-24.

Service: Marketing Media Modelling(MMM)
Created a full scale MMM Project which focuses exclusively on Media promotions like Facebook/Instagram
ads, Google Search, Newpapers ads, Hoardings etc. Utilized Excel full potential incl. Visual Basics(VBA) to
created Bayesian model over Excel for client understanding.
Feature engineered important media attributes like Video promotion length(5 sec/ 1 min etc), influencer
flag to test their efficacy on a marketing campaign. Utilised statistical tools to curate variables with high
correlation with revenue and bring variance to the equation.
Simulated spends vs ROI for several planned media campaigns. Suggesting ideal budget in accordance with
saturation curve for maximum potential Profit ROI over assigned budget.
Client: Prominent Hygiene and Homes CPG Company for Australian Market
Service: Pricing and Promotion Modelling
Pricing and Promotion models focus on everyday TPR (temporary price reduction), Display, Feature promotions, and ACV distribution run by Manufacturer-Retailer for a product.
Developed ElasticNet regression model (combination of Ridge + Lasso regression) for improved model fit and explainability. Created Due-tos waterfall to explain base sales and Promotion uplifts.
Provided advanced analytics like price change suggestions with respect to product elasticity, self-competition product cannibalization, and price ladder-price gap to reduce it.
Created dashboards for price tracking, opportunity identification, promotional ROIs, retailer margins, and manufacturer margins.

Ultratech Cements Tadipatri, AP, India (Research Intern)
May 2018 – June 2018
Conducted experimental testing to analyze cement strength and consistency.
Effect on strength, durability, and consistency of cement examined vs varied particle sizes/Blaine number.
Performed Autoclave test, Le-Chatelier test, strength test, and Blaine number analysis to determine particular Blaine performance.
Results were tabulated and examined on an Excel database, with various analytical charts to explain the output.
Results showed 300m²/kg and 350m²/kg Blaine number respectively for OPC and PPC as a higher end for hardness with optimal costing.
