About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Business Analyst with experience delivering digital products, enterprise SaaS solutions, technical support, and customer-engagement platforms. I specialize in converting business needs into clear, implementation-ready requirements, workflows, user stories, functional specifications, and acceptance criteria.

In my current role at National Payments Corporation of India, I support the BHIM ecosystem across product discovery, campaign orchestration, complaint management, chatbot journeys, notifications, analytics, testing, and release readiness. I work closely with Product, Engineering, QA, UI/UX, Marketing, Operations, and external vendors to drive aligned delivery.

I have managed end-to-end IT projects and coordinated cross-functional teams across requirements, scope, change management, UAT, and client communication. My approach focuses on reducing ambiguity, improving implementation clarity, and ensuring delivered functionality meets business and customer expectations.

I am experienced in business-side validation across SIT, UAT, regression testing, crowd testing, defect triage, production validation, and post-release monitoring. I also facilitate Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives, and estimation sessions.

My background in technical support gives me a practical understanding of incident management, root-cause analysis, SaaS operations, SQL-based reporting, and customer service. I combine analytical thinking, stakeholder communication, and structured documentation to help teams build reliable and customer-focused solutions.
