1900+ working hours | 150+ projects delivered | Top Rated Plus Research Analyst | Worked with Big Four
I am a Market Research Analyst with 11+ years of experience helping clients gain deep market insights, assess competitors, and make strategic, data-driven decisions.
My research process combines verified data sources, AI-assisted analysis, and human interpretation to deliver reports that are not just informative but actionable.
What I offer:
✅ Market Research & Market Analysis
I provide end-to-end, structured market research that helps businesses understand their current position and future opportunities.
1. Market sizing (TAM, SAM, SOM)
2. Market growth & demand trends
3. Drivers of growth & industry dynamics
4. Competitor benchmarking & pricing review
5. PESTLE, SWOT & Porter’s Five Forces analysis
6. Opportunity and investment mapping

✅ AI + Human Intelligence (Our Suggestion to add)
I believe the best research blends AI efficiency with human expertise. While AI helps speed up data gathering and initial analysis, true value comes from human interpretation connecting insights, context, and strategy.
I use ChatGPT and other AI-driven tools when needed to enhance productivity, identify data patterns, and refine communication. But every report and insight I deliver is personally reviewed, analyzed, and written to ensure accuracy, relevance, and a clear human touch.
This combination allows me to deliver faster, smarter, and more meaningful research outputs customised exactly to your business objectives.
Industries I have worked on-
1. Technology & SaaS
2. Energy & Sustainability
3. Healthcare & Pharma
4. Education & EdTech
5. Logistics & Mobility
6. Construction & Real Estate
7. Food & Beverage / Hospitality and others
