AI investment race accelerates as companies chase new productivity gains
Massive spending on AI infrastructure is reshaping the technology economy, while analysts debate how quickly the investment can translate into durable productivity and revenue.
Turning business data into actionable insights through SQL, Excel, Power BI, Python, and automation.
I am an IIT Bombay graduate currently working as a Business Analyst in Bangalore. My core work revolves around analyzing complex business data, building interactive dashboards, and automating operational reporting.
In my day-to-day role, I go beyond merely reporting numbers. I explore data across customer funnels, marketing channels, and business units to find patterns, diagnose underlying issues, and deliver conclusions that lead to tangible improvements in business processes and sales workflows.
To keep operations agile, I actively leverage AI tools and automation (Copilot, ChatGPT, and Python scripts) to streamline repetitive reporting, consolidate multi-workbook Excel spreadsheets, and speed up data wrangling — freeing up time for deeper analytical problem-solving.
With a strong grounding in both analytical tools (SQL, Excel, Power BI, Zoho Analytics) and software engineering foundations (Python, Java, C++, APIs, and DSA), I build practical, reliable solutions that connect business questions with measurable outcomes.
Sales funnels, revenue metrics, Customer Lifetime Value (LTV), and cohort retention — using data to guide real operational decisions.
Automating recurring reports and building live executive dashboards in Power BI, Zoho Analytics, and Excel to monitor key KPIs.
Integrating AI tools for rapid data harmonization, SQL query structuring, and workflow automation to accelerate analytical output.
Solid programming and systems background from IIT Bombay — Python, Java, C++, REST APIs, databases, and 300+ DSA problems solved.
Delivering data-driven insights, automated reporting, and operational efficiency across business teams.
An end-to-end analytical study across customer segments, business units, and marketing channels that diagnosed retention patterns and reshaped field sales operations.
Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) was not being tracked systematically across customer touchpoints. Without a unified view of customer value and retention decay, business leadership lacked visibility into which acquisition channels delivered sustainable value versus high early drop-off.
Aggregated and modeled multi-source transactional, CRM, and campaign data using SQL, Advanced Excel, and Power BI. Sliced customer cohorts across Business Units, geographic regions, tier-wise cities, marketing acquisition campaigns, and product categories to map out cumulative revenue trajectories and churn inflection points.
Identified critical disparities in customer value across different channels and regions. Revealed that long-term customer retention — rather than purely top-of-funnel acquisition volume — was the primary determinant of overall customer lifetime value.
The analysis provided executive visibility into customer profitability and directly contributed to a new sales setup that restructured how Field Business Development teams prioritize high-value customer accounts and manage post-sales relationship touchpoints.
Specialized in data analytics, business intelligence, and reporting automation, backed by a rigorous computer science foundation.

I leverage AI as a force multiplier for productivity — eliminating repetitive manual reporting, cleaning messy spreadsheets, and accelerating analysis without replacing rigorous critical thinking.
Automated routine MIS reports and daily metrics compilation using AI-assisted scripts, eliminating manual copy-pasting and repetitive workbook updating.
Used Microsoft Copilot and automated scripts to fetch, parse, and harmonize disparate data from multiple Excel workbooks into unified structured datasets for reporting.
Leveraged generative AI to rapidly generate complex SQL queries, formulate regex patterns for messy CRM strings, and build exploratory visualization prototypes.
Used AI tools to streamline high-frequency hourly operations reporting and format ad-hoc analytical summaries for rapid stakeholder decision-making.
Utilized AI models to assist with code reviews, debug backend logic, scaffold automated tests with Pytest, and optimize SQL query execution plans.
Employed LLM prompts to rapidly construct complex multi-table joins, window functions, and CTEs, accelerating ad-hoc data investigations and query tuning.
