About

A practical analytics profile.

Appu Anand professional profile

I turn operational and business data into insights that support better decisions.

Across Automotive dealership analytics, Smart City / AI data operations, and QSR customer journey analysis, my work has centered on finding signal in scattered data, structuring it and reporting it clearly enough for someone to act on.

My day-to-day toolkit includes Power BI, SQL, Python, DAX and Excel, with a focus on dashboards, KPI reporting, data validation, business analysis and automation.

I am currently completing an MBA in Business Analytics at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham alongside my professional work.
