Ananya Deshpande — Business Analyst

Pune, Maharashtra

Business analyst two years into consumer lending, sitting between branch collections teams and the engineers who build their tools. Replaced a six-hour manual delinquency pack with a dashboard that puts the same numbers in front of 40 branch managers before 8 a.m.

Experience

Business Analyst, Sanchay Credit · July 2024 – present

Collections technology group. Works between 40 branch operations teams and a six-engineer platform squad.

Replaced a six-hour manual delinquency pack with a SQL-backed dashboard, giving 40 branch managers their bucket-wise numbers by 8 a.m. instead of mid-afternoon.
Analysed 180,000 repayment records to show that reminder calls placed before 11 a.m. recovered 23% more than evening calls, which redrew the calling roster across every branch.
Wrote 34 requirements for a field-collections mobile app and ran the UAT that caught 19 defects before launch; four surfaced after release.
Maintains the requirement traceability matrix for the group, taking scope disputes at sign-off from a weekly argument to two in six months.

Associate Analyst, Merchandising, Tarangi Retail · June 2023 – June 2024

Built the weekly stock-cover report for 62 stores, replacing three regional spreadsheets that had each counted cover differently.
Traced ₹18 lakh of annual markdown loss to two slow-moving categories; the reorder rule written in response cut it by 61% in two quarters.

Why this Business Analyst résumé works

Each Sanchay Credit bullet ties the analysis to what changed: 180,000 repayment records showed morning calls recovered 23% more, and the calling roster was redrawn across every branch.
Delivery work is counted honestly: 34 requirements written, 19 defects caught in UAT and “four surfaced after release”. Admitting the four makes the 19 more believable to a hiring manager.
A two-year résumé keeps a final-year project because it earns its place: the Repayment Propensity Model captured 68% of defaults and placed second of 46, which supports the 8.6 CGPA in Statistics.
The Tarangi Retail role is cut to two bullets, one of them a ₹18 lakh markdown loss reduced 61%, so the first job adds evidence without crowding the current one.

Business Analyst résumé: common questions

What skills should an entry-level business analyst resume show?

SQL, Excel and a BI tool such as Power BI, plus the business side: requirements gathering, process mapping, UAT and BRD writing. In India, add the domain you know (lending, retail, insurance) since many BA roles are hired by industry.

Should a business analyst fresher include CGPA and college projects?

Include CGPA in the first two or three years, especially above 7.5, and keep one project if it shows real analysis with a result. Drop both once you have more work results than space.
