At ValueNotes, we have a dedicated teams (Legal, Publishing, Research and Analytics, e-learning) tracking and researching the outsourcing industry. I am associated with Research and Analytics team and have worked on various reports and events in the R&A and Market Research Outsourcing (MRO) space. I have been working in ValueNotes for over a year. Constant tracking of the industry and meeting industry experts from R&A outsourcing industry has helped me gain significant insights about the R&A services and its growth pattern.

Our report on ‘Market Research Outsourcing: Buyer Survey’, published in the beginning of this year, provides an in-depth in-sights and analysis of the offshoring perception of market research agencies around the world. The report looks at drivers to outsource and challenges faced by market research agencies with a view to deduce current perceptions towards risks and rewards of offshoring in market research.  The report looks ahead at the opportunity and future trends in market research offshoring keeping in mind the buyer (market research agencies) perception, outsourcing vendor capability and global economic slowdown.

I’ve done my MBA from The Indian Institute of Planning and Management, Mumbai. I did my specialization in Finance and Marketing and was awarded the Director’s Gold Medal and Academic Silver Medal for my batch. Currently I am pursuing CFA from the CFA Institute.  Prior to my MBA I completed my Bachelor of Commerce from the Pune University with specialization in Banking and Finance. I have a prior work experience of 2 years in the outsourcing industry where I was working as a Quality Executive with TATA Business Support Services Ltd.

In my free time I like reading (enjoy a range of topics but I love reading fiction and economics), watching football (big united fan) and listening to music (Rock, R’n’B, Hip-Hop). I am a big movie buff but limited to English and love cooking on the weekends.
