About

The interesting problems live between the data and the decision.

I lead commercial analytics and AI for life sciences at WNS, part of Capgemini, working out of New York. My job sits in the gap most organizations struggle with: the data exists, the tools exist, and yet decisions still run on instinct and stale spreadsheets. Closing that gap, with analytics people trust, AI that earns its place, and operating models that survive contact with reality, is the work I care about.

The way I work is forward-deployed: embed with the team, find the decision that actually matters, ship the system that improves it, and stay until it's adopted. Pharma commercial is where that playbook is proven; nothing about it is pharma-specific.

I got here the long way: electronics engineering in Mumbai, a data science master's at Rutgers, dashboards at Johnson & Johnson, then four years inside pharma commercial programs: AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, ALK, Eli Lilly, Regeneron, Pfizer, and others. Somewhere along the way the job changed from building reports to designing the systems that make reports unnecessary: standardized KPI layers, agentic document workflows, voice agents in the field.

What hasn't changed is the standard I hold the work to. Every claim sourced. Every release signed. Every number on this site traceable to a document, an email, or a public record, the same discipline I bring to client work.

What I do

Decision analytics

Brand performance, patient analytics, forecasting, and field-force effectiveness on secondary data: IQVIA, claims, specialty pharmacy.

Applied AI

Agentic document workflows, voice-to-CRM agents, and copilot integrations that put insight where the work happens. Built, shipped, and adopted.

Operating models

KPI governance, analytics centers of excellence, and core-configurable delivery frameworks that make change cheap.

Executive partnership

Trusted by VP- and SVP-level stakeholders to turn ambiguous asks into shipped systems, and to say no when the data can't support a claim.

How I work

  • Decisions are the unit of work

    A dashboard, a report, an agent: none of it matters unless a decision changes. I start every engagement by naming the decisions the system should make faster or better, and I design backward from there.

  • Adoption is the real metric

    Shipped is not the same as used. I treat analytics like a product: onboarding, training, office hours, and versions. If the field doesn't open it on a Tuesday morning, it doesn't exist.

    Grew a J&J data product from 300 to 1,200+ active users; 2,000+ field users on the current platform

  • Make change cheap

    Pharma programs pivot constantly: new brands, new goals, new territories. I build a standardized core with configurable edges, so a pivot costs days instead of quarters.

    Re-architected 140+ fragmented reports into a 70/30 core-configurable framework; cut reporting build time 40%

  • Automate the toil, keep the judgment

    AI should absorb the work nobody defends (drafting documents, logging calls, reconciling data) and hand the judgment back to people. Every agent I ship has a human on the loop and a paper trail.

    Agentic workflow removed ~90% of manual document drafting; voice agents cut post-call admin ~70%

  • Show the receipts

    In a regulated industry, trust is the product. Signed release documents, documented data lineage, compliance checks in the workflow. Every claim on this site is sourced the same way.
