- Income-based market segmentation
- Comparative FMCG case studies

Requirements

- Master's degree (or Bachelor's + 2 additional years of experience) in business, economics, marketing, econometrics, or a related field
- Minimum 7 years in market research, strategy consulting,



or business analysis within Indian retail and consumer goods
- Strong demonstrated ability to synthesize macro data, market reports, and sector analyses into structured, insight-driven narratives
- Excellent written English and the ability to produce data-rich, publication-quality reports
- Ability to work independently in a remote setup with a globally distributed team

Competencies

- Strategic thinking — ability to see the big picture and connect macro-trends to category-specific implications
- Analytical rigor — comfort working with fragmented data sources and constructing coherent trend lines
- Communication — clear, concise writing with a consideration for diverse stakeholder audiences
- Agility — versatile in approach, open to iterating based on feedback from the global team
