I’m an Associate Consultant at ZS Associates with ~5 years of experience (by Fall 2026) in pharma strategy consulting. I’ve worked extensively on high-impact projects for major global pharma clients, primarily within the Primary Market Research (PMR) vertical, delivering insights that support strategic decisions. Recently, I’ve also taken on a product manager–like role, leading the pilot of GenAI-powered tools for qualitative research and virtual sales rep training—an initiative that blends tech innovation with client delivery.
Academically, I graduated as a gold medalist and class topper (GPA 9.89/10) in Mechanical Engineering from Thapar University. I’ve complemented my consulting experience with online coursework, including statistics from Rice University on Coursera, and I’m currently preparing to pursue Wharton’s Business Analytics course. My GMAT score is 655, and I’m aiming to apply in Round 1 to top global programs.
I’m now looking to pivot from a niche domain into broader strategy, brand marketing, and people-facing leadership roles. An MBA is the logical next step to gain exposure beyond pharma, expand my global network, and accelerate my transition into marketing and cross-functional leadership. Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports (especially badminton), photography, sketching, and singing
