Business Analyst- CEO office

Role & responsibilities

The Business Analyst in the CEO Office will be the analytical engine behind strategic projects for Havells' leadership. The role suits an early-career consultant (1 to 2 years at a top-tier firm) who is strong at data analysis, structured problem solving and synthesis, and wants to move from advising clients to shaping decisions inside one of India's leading electrical and consumer durables companies.

Working with the CEO Office team and senior leadership, the analyst will build fact bases, model scenarios, frame problems and turn complex analysis into crisp recommendations across Havells' businesses (cables and wires, switchgear, lighting, fans, appliances and Lloyd consumer durables).

5. Project and stakeholder support
