About Kiran Murmu

I am a Lead Research Analyst with 3 years of experience in competitive intelligence and data analysis. I am proficient in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and skilled in data analysis using Excel. Worked on projects for clients in various industries, including telecommunication and sustainable energy. Started my career in the industry as a Research Assistant when everyone was juggling the COVID-19 pandemic, so primary research was not an option. Possibly the best time for secondary research as the world was pouring itself into the internet. Got my hands on producing project proposals, analytical reports, and newsletters. Given that I had pursued my MTech from IIT Kanpur helped me fit into the role. While playing around in the ocean of data I realized how much data is out there, accessible, and if molded well can achieve wonders. That\'s when I stepped up into the role of Research Analyst. I am passionate about uncovering insights that drive business decisions and improving my research skills.
