Charchit in a few words
I am a research analyst with over ten years of cross-industry strategic research experience. Over the years, my areas of engagement have broadened from financial analysis for an investment banking client to supporting companies' strategic initiatives.
I am skilled in collecting, interpreting, and analysing data and very competent in creating and managing complex financial and non-financial data models. Over the years, I have gained experience in various techniques to create and test hypotheses, generate insights and use visualization tools to creatively communicate the outcomes to my stakeholders.
My previous work experience has allowed me to work with clients from diverse industries, such as consumer goods, technology, industrial and finance, among others. My clients appreciate my ability to provide clear and concise insights into their markets, which have helped them make data-driven decisions.
