**Bio:** Hello! I’m Omkar Thombare, a passionate and results-driven professional currently pursuing a Master of Science in Business Analytics at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota. With a background in Chemical Engineering from Savitribai Phule Pune University, I have cultivated a unique blend of technical expertise and analytical skills that I apply to drive impactful business solutions. My career journey began as a Process Engineer at Hikal Ltd, where I designed and optimized chemical processing plants, enhancing efficiency and yield. I then transitioned to ZS Associates, where I served as a Decision Analytics Associate Consultant. In this role, I led over 20 projects for pharmaceutical clients, utilizing advanced analytics to support strategic decision-making and improve sales effectiveness. My efforts were recognized with the Project Impact Award for delivering critical data-driven solutions during major organizational restructurings. Most recently, I worked at Novartis, where I managed the deployment of an AI-based Call Plan Refinement platform across EU countries, significantly improving operational efficiency for field sales representatives. My commitment to continuous improvement and user engagement has been acknowledged through various awards, including the Team Spark Award. Beyond my professional endeavors, I have a passion for storytelling and the arts. As the Head and Writer-Director of the Theater Club at MIT, Pune, I led a team of over 60 students, earning accolades for our creative work and delivering TEDx performances that showcased the power of storytelling. I’m excited to connect with like-minded individuals and explore opportunities where I can leverage my skills in analytics and leadership to make a meaningful impact. **Greeting:** Welcome to my personal website!
