About Shrutik

I am a Hybrid Data & Strategy Analyst with over 8 years of experience in analytics, market research, and operational strategy. My background spans corporate consulting (TCS), retail operations leadership, and applied machine learning research. I specialise in transforming complex data into actionable insights through Python (Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn), R, SQL, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and SPSS. Key projects include delivering end-to-end market research for APAC clients (DBS Bank, Changi Airport), automating research workflows to improve productivity by 30%, and conducting multimodal deep learning research during my Master’s. My goal is to help organisations make smarter, evidence-based decisions through clear reporting, predictive models, and strategic frameworks.
