Kunal in a few words
Since college I was very keen to understand, articulate and solve people problems. My passion lies in meeting new people and solve their various problems with a solution that drives alternative thinking.
With over 12 years of experience in SAP technologies, specifically HANA, BI and Analytics, I was able to work very closely with business leaders to understand how their business run and how analytics can bring a positive impact. This not only has allowed me to learn how they think and what their problems are but also helped me think their way to solve their problems/gaps.
