Experience:
1–3 years

About the Role
Zavya is looking for a Business Strategy & AI Analyst to work directly with the co-founders and business leadership on some of the company’s most important growth and operational priorities. This is not a conventional reporting or presentation-focused analyst role. The problems will often be ambiguous, cross-functional and without an established playbook. You will be expected to structure these problems, analyze the underlying drivers, develop practical solutions and help implement them. A major part of the role will involve finding meaningful ways to use AI, automation and data to improve how the business operates. We are looking for someone who combines structured thinking with speed, curiosity and a strong bias for execution. What You’ll Own 1. Solve unstructured business problems
• Work with leadership to identify growth opportunities, bottlenecks and operating inefficiencies.
• Break ambiguous problems into clear hypotheses, analyses and action plans.
• Investigate root causes instead of treating visible symptoms.
• Take projects from problem definition through solution design and implementation. 2. Build practical AI and automation solutions
• Identify repetitive, slow or error-prone processes that can be improved using AI and automation.
• Build and test AI-powered workflows, internal tools, analytical models and automations.
• Evaluate new tools based on business impact—not novelty.
• Document successful solutions so they can be adopted and scaled across teams.
• Measure the time saved, errors reduced or business outcomes improved. 3. Drive strategic and cross-functional initiatives
• Own high-priority projects across growth, profitability, commerce, operations and customer experience.
• Coordinate across teams to move initiatives from concept to execution.
• Establish clear outcomes, owners, timelines and success metrics.
• Identify opportunities proactively instead of waiting for projects to be assigned.




• Follow initiatives through until measurable results are achieved. 4. Turn data into decisions
• Analyse business performance and identify the drivers behind growth, decline and operational gaps.
• Build models, dashboards and decision frameworks that help teams act faster.
• Translate complex analysis into clear recommendations for leadership.
• Replace repetitive manual reporting with scalable systems wherever possible. Examples of Projects You May Work On
• Diagnose why a business channel, product category or customer segment is underperforming.
• Build an AI-assisted workflow that reduces manual work for a business team.
• Identify revenue leakage, unnecessary costs or process bottlenecks.
• Develop a framework for evaluating recent products, channels or growth opportunities.
• Automate recurring analysis and convert it into an actionable decision system.
• Run a cross-functional initiative from initial hypothesis to measurable outcome. What We’re Looking For Core requirements
• 1–3 years of experience in strategy, consulting, analytics, growth, technology-led business roles or a high-ownership startup environment.
• Strong quantitative reasoning and the ability to work confidently with business data.
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills; SQL experience is preferred.
• Practical experience using AI for research, analysis, automation or prototyping.
• At least one credible example of something useful you have built, automated or significantly improved.
• Strong written and verbal communication.
• Willingness to work from our Gurugram office. The qualities that matter most Structured problem-solving: You can turn an unclear question into a logical problem statement, analysis and action plan. AI fluency: You use AI as a working tool and understand how to combine it with data,



automation and human judgment. High agency: You identify what needs attention, propose a way forward and take responsibility for progress. Commercial judgment: You connect analysis to revenue, profitability, customer experience or operating efficiency. Execution discipline: You track owners, timelines and outcomes rather than stopping at recommendations. Intellectual honesty: You are willing to challenge assumptions—including your own—when evidence points elsewhere. Learning velocity: You can quickly understand unfamiliar functions, tools and business problems. Preferred Background
• Graduates from IITs, NITs, IIITs, BITS, VIT or comparable engineering institutions.
• Graduates from leading business schools or candidates with an MBA.
• Experience in consulting, a founder’s office, business operations, growth, analytics or an early-stage company.
• Exposure to SQL, Python, APIs, no-code automation or AI workflow tools. How Success Will Be Measured
• Business impact of projects owned
• Revenue growth, cost savings or productivity improvement generated
• Adoption and reliability of AI or automation solutions built
• Speed from problem identification to implementation
• Quality and clarity of analysis and recommendations
• Ability to drive cross-functional actions to closure
• Reduction in repetitive reporting and manual work
• Trust built with leadership and operating teams What You’ll Get
• Direct exposure to the co-founders and business leadership
• Ownership of projects that influence real business decisions
• Freedom to test new tools and challenge inefficient processes
• Experience across growth, commerce, operations, data and technology
• Responsibility that expands based on demonstrated ability and results Before You Apply This role is best suited to someone who enjoys working through uncertainty, learns new tools independently and wants to be accountable for outcomes—not only analysis. It may not be the right fit if you require highly defined instructions, prefer working within a single function or are primarily interested in producing reports and presentations.
