At Zeta Technologies, directly reporting to the CEO's office, I drove three key projects aimed at operational efficiency and revenue growth. Through exensive data mining, data analysis, and stakeholder management, I mapped and optimised the HR department's processes. Over the course of this project, I optimized very resource-intensive external and internal hiring processes, achieving significant reductions in operational steps, lead times, and human resource costs.I also led a cost and pricing analysis of another venture, increasing projected RoI by 2% and profits by Rs. 2.6 million. I was able to acheive this through optimized payment structures that I developed via exentive fiancial analysis on the impact of customer risk profiles on cashflow projections. Furthermore, I uncovered a new revenue stream worth over $2 million/annum for a telecom database through thorough market research and internal capability analysis.

At Sybrid Private Limited, I spearheaded the establishment and operation of the Business Development and Research function for its nascent ventures, achieving a 20% success rate in over 30 B2B engagements. I led strategic partnership initiatives, including onboarding the Better Cotton Initiative as a key funder for the Agri-Tech venture's proposed projects on affordable yield-maximization strategies and effective carbon sequestration practices for small scale cotton farmers in Punjab. Leading another key proposal, I secured concessional debt offer from Karandaaz(a Bill and Mellinda Gates Foundation backed impact invester) for an E-commerce Handicrafts Venture through detailed market sizing, competitor analysis, and exploring effective market penetration avenues.Furthermore, I successfuly proposed an innovative collateral-free microfinance product for small-scale farmers to the Bank of Punjab, drawing on successful models from South Asia and South Africa. My networking and expansion efforts enabled the Agri-Tech venture to expand its loan and insurance product portfolio by generating leads and leveraging C-suite networks to secure two key partnerships.

As a Research Consultant, I significantly enhanced website traffic for two ventures. For a Handicrafts E-commerce venture, I increased traffic by 10% by identifying key demographics through market research in Pakistan and India, guiding targeted marketing strategies. For a Cybersecurity venture, I boosted traffic by 15% by optimizing the website based on industry standards and collaborating with content and design teams. These projects underscored my expertise in research, leadership, and business analysis, driving impactful results

As a Management Associate at Reconstruct, I was instrumental in enhancing client retention and expanding our services. During my tenure, I developed a new client relationship model for trainers, which increased client retention by 15% and continues to be implemented today. This model was designed to foster stronger, more personalized connections between trainers and clients, resulting in higher satisfaction and loyalty.Additionally, I spearheaded the onboarding process for the first 30 customers in our newly launched nutrition vertical. By conducting thorough market research and designing a meal-plan menu that aligned with our key demographic's tastes and nutrition goals, I ensured a seamless and successful introduction of this service. This initiative not only attracted new clients but also reinforced our commitment to comprehensive wellness solutions.

During my tenure as a Research Intern at The SASSI Institute, I had the unique opportunity to work under the mentorship of Dr. Maria Sultan, a distinguished Senior Research Analyst and Director. Over three months, I immersed myself in a collaborative environment alongside experienced civil and military officers, gaining profound insights into policy research and analysis.I played a key role in drafting and presenting comprehensive policy papers, trajectory recommendations, and data predictions. My presentations were delivered to a panel of analysts, officials, and fellow interns, allowing me to hone my analytical and public speaking skills. This experience not only deepened my understanding of geopolitical dynamics but also enhanced my ability to effectively communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences.
