Independent research & project support · Berlin
I help startups and SMEs investigate the questions behind growth, execution, and sustainability—then turn the evidence into decisions people can use.
Observe the system.
Stay close to the people.
Make the next move clearer.
01 / Services
Focused, fixed-scope projects for teams that need a rigorous outside perspective—not a vague consulting engagement.
Understand the landscape
Research that connects customer behaviour, local context, competitors, and commercial opportunity—especially for businesses operating in cities.
Improve the system
Practical analysis for teams dealing with bottlenecks, handoffs, delivery pressure, or a cross-functional project that needs structure.
Organize the evidence
Structured support for startups and SMEs that need to gather sustainability information, benchmark their position, and communicate it clearly.
Reporting support covers research, evidence organization, benchmarking, and drafting. It does not replace legal advice, formal assurance, or statutory audit.
Best fit
Technical products that need commercial clarity.
Businesses shaped by place, movement, and people.
Frontline operations where promises meet reality.
Teams organizing processes and sustainability data.
02 / Selected work
Selected experience and portfolio studies showing how I move from a complex question to a practical recommendation.
How could a five-station delivery network reduce departure delays while protecting service, labour, and safety guardrails?
At Rupeek, customer research, performance tracking, reporting, and cross-functional coordination came together in customer-facing programs.
At Dime Klear, industry analysis, competitor research, and customer segmentation supported the commercial direction of an early-stage filtration startup.
03 / Field Notes
SYSTEMS / 01 — BERLIN
Visual research on mobility, delivery work, neighbourhood commerce, infrastructure, and the people who keep everyday life moving.
Field Notes is the proof-of-thinking layer: original observation and clear explanation, connected back to the commercial questions businesses face.
Propose a field brief ↗“Engineering taught me to understand systems. Working with customers taught me where systems break.”
04 / Why this combination
I’m a Chemical Engineering graduate from NITK Surathkal with experience across market research, program management, customer insight, and frontline operations.
That path—from water technology to fintech programs to daily operations in Berlin—helps me connect technical detail, human behaviour, and business reality.
05 / A clear engagement
A short call to define the question, audience, evidence, and boundaries.
You receive a fixed deliverable, timeline, and price before the work begins.
I research, analyse, and keep the work anchored to the decision at hand.
A clear readout, practical recommendations, and an editable final deliverable.
Start with one useful question
Tell me what you are trying to decide, improve, or report. I’ll reply with a suggested first scope—usually a compact research sprint or diagnostic.
