Present

Designing and delivering enterprise BI solutions — turning complex datasets into actionable insights and dashboards that support strategic business decisions.

Enterprise BITableauStrategy
2024

Built and supported Tableau dashboards for CSAT, NPS, resolution time & ticket volume; led a team of 4+ consultants and upheld regulatory-grade data accuracy.

Challenge

A retail bank needed daily visibility into customer-service health — CSAT, NPS, resolution time and ticket volume — with numbers accurate enough to stand up to regulatory scrutiny.

Approach

Standardised metric definitions across teams, built the dashboards on governed Tableau extracts, and led a 4+ consultant delivery team with a review gate on every release.

Outcome

Service leaders read CSAT and NPS movements from the dashboard instead of waiting on analyst pulls — it became part of the daily operating review.

TableauTeam LeadBanking
2021 — 2024

Delivered Tableau & Power BI dashboards across Sales, HR and OTT — with row/user-level security, automated subscriptions and insight into engagement, CTR & churn.

Challenge

Sales, HR and OTT teams each needed self-serve reporting on very different data — streaming engagement, CTR and churn on one side, targets and headcount on the other — without one team ever seeing another's numbers.

Approach

Delivered Tableau and Power BI dashboards with row- and user-level security baked into the model, plus automated subscriptions so the right slice landed in each inbox on schedule.

Outcome

Reporting shifted from ad-hoc analyst requests to subscribed, self-serve dashboards across three business functions.

Power BITableauOTT Analytics
2020 — 2021

Built Tableau dashboards for marketing & sales KPIs including ROI and funnel metrics, surfacing business risks and opportunities through KPI monitoring.

Challenge

Marketing spend was tracked channel by channel, with no single view of ROI or where the funnel actually leaked.

Approach

Built Tableau dashboards that put ROI, funnel-stage conversion and sales KPIs side by side, with monitoring that flagged KPI drift as it happened.

Outcome

Risks and opportunities surfaced from KPI movement week to week — not at quarter-end reviews.

Marketing KPIsROIFunnels
2019 — 2020

Prepared structured datasets, visualized audience trends from box-office and streaming data, and trained internal users on Tableau.

What matters most

The right question first

A dashboard is only as good as the decision it drives. I start from the business question, not the chart.

Data models that hold up

Clean star schemas, correct grain, DAX and LOD that stay fast and honest as the data grows.

Clarity over decoration

Fewer, sharper visuals people trust and act on — not vanity metrics or dashboard clutter.

Free resource

Slice & dice dataset

A tidy, pivot-ready sample dataset (600 rows · dimensions + measures) — the exact shape I aim for before building anything. Works in Excel, Power BI, Tableau or SQL.

Questions

/ Everything you might ask before your first session

Sessions are 1-on-1 or small evening groups, held after office hours over a video call. Each course runs across a handful of sessions — you'll find the exact count on every course card. We work on real datasets end to end, so you finish with something you can actually show.

Primarily online, so we can work together no matter where you are. Screen-share, live query and dashboard building, and recordings on request. In-person can be arranged for learners in Mumbai — just ask.

Pricing is on request while rates are being finalised. The quote depends on the format (1-on-1 vs group), how many sessions you need, and your goals — 1-on-1 career coaching is priced per person. Message me with what you're after and I'll give you a clear, no-obligation number for your case.

No. Most courses run Beginner → Advanced and start from the fundamentals. If you already work with data, we'll skip ahead and go deeper — the plan is tailored to where you actually are.

Book a session from the portal after you sign in. You'll see available slots, confirm a time, and can reschedule from the same place if something comes up. You'll get email reminders, and a Google Meet link is added automatically.

If plans change, refunds follow the terms on the Refund and Class Policy pages (linked in the footer). The short version: reach out early and I'll be fair about it.

Depends on the course — Tableau, Power BI, SQL / T-SQL, Advanced Excel, or Base SAS. Everything is taught the way it's used on real BI work: correct data models, performant queries, and dashboards a business will actually trust.

More than ever. AI now automates a chunk of the repetitive query-and-chart work — which makes the fundamentals MORE valuable, not less: clean data models, SQL you can verify, statistical judgement, and explaining what the numbers mean. Tools like Copilot in Microsoft Fabric sit on top of your semantic model; if the model is wrong, the AI is confidently wrong. My courses teach the durable skills first, then where AI genuinely helps an analyst move faster.

Still unsure? Just email me — I answer every message myself. Or book your first session.

A practitioner's take

Which tool, when?

Power BI, Tableau and Advanced Excel all overlap — the skill is knowing which one a problem actually calls for. Here's how I choose.

Capability

Handling large / modelled data

Ad-hoc slice & dice

Interactive dashboards

Visual polish & storytelling

Calculation depth

Governance & sharing at scale

Everyone already has it

Reach for Power BI

Governed, refreshable reporting across an org — modelling + DAX at scale.

Reach for Tableau

Exploratory analysis and dashboards where visual craft matters most.

Reach for Advanced Excel

Fast, ad-hoc analysis and prototyping — the analyst's everyday power tool.

My honest rule: model and govern in Power BI or Tableau, but never underestimate Excel — it's still the fastest way to interrogate a fresh dataset before it earns a dashboard.

Who this is for

Switching into data

Coming from any background and starting from scratch — begin with Excel and SQL foundations and build toward your first analyst role.

Working analysts levelling up

Already shipping reports and ready to go deeper on Power BI, Tableau and T-SQL — including the judgment calls behind tool choices.

Students & fresh graduates

Building interview confidence and a portfolio that shows real work — with practice decks and honest feedback along the way.
