I am a results-driven professional with experience in strategic analysis, business planning, brand management, procurement, and sales. As an External Consultant for MasterMedPrep in Manchester, United Kingdom, I undertook an in-depth strategic analysis and developed an actionable business plan covering deliverables, resource needs, and risks.
Previously, as a Senior Brand Associate at DSPR in Mumbai, Maharashtra, I leveraged market and competitor data to identify market opportunities and gaps. I also identified and closed new business opportunities through strategic networking, increasing the customer base of businesses by 35%. I was promoted from Junior Associate to Brand Associate and then to Senior Brand Associate within 8 months.
As a Procurement & Sales Manager at S R Agro Products in Mumbai, I sourced new vendors and suppliers, negotiated best-possible pricing with distributors and customers, and collected customer and market feedback. I helped secure well-timed coronavirus essential product deliveries and increased profit margins by 20%.
I hold an MSc. in Business Analysis and Strategic Management from Alliance Manchester Business School, where I analysed Tesco's business model and evaluated the motivation and expected outcomes of the Pfizer Mylan Spinoff deal. I also have a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Mumbai, where I specialised in Accounting and Finance, and an Undergraduate Diploma in Business, Management & Entrepreneurship from ISME School of Management & Entrepreneurship, where I specialised in Economics and Finance. I was also part of the Dean's Merit List in recognition of exemplary academic performance and secured 10th Rank amongst the cohort of 262 students.
With my diverse professional experience and educational background, I am confident in my ability to provide value as a freelance consultant to businesses seeking to optimise their operations and achieve their strategic goals.
