Pooja Nikam

Identified an untapped local demand for quality sarees and built a small retail venture from concept to execution. Developed strategic pricing, managed vendor relationships, and designed marketing campaigns that grew a loyal customer base and sustained profitability. Applied financial analysis to optimize product margins and reinvest profits for expansion. Collaborated closely with suppliers and clients, strengthening stakeholder communication and project management skills. This experience provided a practical understanding of market dynamics, business scalability, and customer-centric growth, directly aligning with consulting focus on strategic problem-solving and sustainable performance.

I have hands-on experience managing seasonal retail stalls for firecrackers, Rakhi, and animal jewellery, where I developed practical skills in customer analysis, pricing strategy, inventory management, and supplier coordination. I also designed small-scale marketing initiatives to boost sales and engagement, sharpening my financial acumen, strategic thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Beyond business, I actively pursue personal interests such as dancing, storytelling, and reading, including modern fiction and behavioral studies, which continuously nurture my creativity, empathy, and curiosity. My passion for teaching math's and exploring astrology further reflects my analytical mindset and ability to connect patterns across disciplines, qualities that align well with consulting and finance roles requiring both logic and insight.
