About Pranay Barua
Currently serving as Associate Managing Consultant at Mastercard Data & Services, I bring over 7 years of diversified experience across the Retail & Commerce sector and the acquiring side of the payments ecosystem. My expertise lies in delivering data-driven strategic solutions and actionable insights to clients globally, with a strong track record of engaging in high-impact initiatives.As part of Mastercard Advisors, I’ve worked extensively with Big Four acquirers and leading fashion and retail brands, including an onsite consulting engagement in Australia, supporting clients on market penetration, vertical expansion strategies, and business development efforts across the region. I specialize in enabling clients to optimize their acquiring performance, deepen customer relationships, and capitalize on market opportunities.Prior to joining Mastercard, I worked at Accenture in the Supply Chain & Operations domain, where I was primarily focused on modeling for Preventive Asset Maintenance (PAM), demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and data migration. My work spanned across large-scale transformation projects where I was involved in solution design, implementation, and delivery of analytics-driven outcomes.I possess strong technical and analytical skills, with hands-on experience in Python, SAS, SQL, Git, and AWS Lambda. I’m well-versed in econometrics, statistical modeling, and machine learning, and have applied these methodologies in various client engagements and proof-of-concept (PoC) development initiatives.Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with cross-functional global teams, managed complex client projects, and consistently delivered measurable value. I hold a Masters in Management Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur.
