Minimum 7 years in market research, strategy consulting,



or business analysis within Indian retail and consumer goods
Solid demonstrated ability to synthesize macro data, market reports, and sector analyses into structured, insight-driven narratives

Ability to work independently in a remote setup with a globally distributed team
