About me

Hello, I'm Nishant Gode, a data-first strategist with 5+ years of experience delivering over $75M in business impact across analytics, marketing operations, and product strategy. I specialize in turning raw data into actionable insights, aligning teams around what matters most: growth, retention, and decision clarity.

As a Senior Manager at Swiggy, I led growth strategy, performance analytics, and lifecycle optimization for a $30M+ portfolio of CPG advertisers. I developed automated SQL pipelines and Power BI dashboards that improved advertiser retention by 43% and reduced manual reporting by 40%. Partnering closely with product, marketing; I helped refine attribution models and scale go-to-market execution through data-backed insights.

At BYJU’S WhiteHat Jr., I drove $11M+ in revenue uplift by building CAC/LTV models, executing segmentation strategies, and visualizing engagement trends in Tableau. I worked with Salesforce and Zendesk data, transforming it with SQL and aligning success teams through KPI frameworks that increased renewal rates by 28%.

Earlier, I implemented upsell initiatives at The Ritz-Carlton that boosted revenue by 12%, led F&B strategy and event partnerships at Gadkari Theatre, and managed live content operations for BiggBoss at Endemol Shine. These experiences enhanced my ability to merge creativity with analytical execution, always focused on user impact.

I hold a Master’s in Business Analytics (GPA 3.8) from Arizona State University, a PGDM in Marketing, and a Bachelor's in Hospitality. My technical toolkit includes SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, and Excel.

I’ve applied these tools across high-impact initiatives, including inventory optimization at Teradyne, GTM segmentation for Trader Joe’s, and sentiment modeling of 10K+ Yelp reviews using BERTopic and Named Entity Recognition.

I thrive at the intersection of data, marketing, and product. Whether it’s enabling smarter decision-making, uncovering patterns in complexity, or building insight tools that scale, I bring curiosity, precision, and business fluency to every challenge.
