Advisory Associate (India)

About the role

As an Associate you build the analysis that our client recommendations rest on. You take a defined question, choose how to answer it, gather the evidence, and produce work a Senior Associate or Manager can take straight into a client conversation. The work is real from the first week. You will be inside client material, platform data, and primary research rather than watching someone else handle it.

What you'll do

• Build the analysis behind a workstream: market sizing, competitor comparisons, buyer research, and operating or financial models
• Run primary research. Draft interview guides and survey instruments, conduct buyer and expert interviews, and turn what you hear into findings rather than transcripts
• Build Excel models someone else can audit and PowerPoint pages a CEO can read in ten seconds
• Write the first version of your section with a point of view, not a data dump
• Own your own quality control. Check the numbers, cite the sources, and flag what you are unsure about before someone else finds it

What you need

• 1–3 yrs of experience
• PowerPoint
• Excel
• Investment banking
• Equity research
• Research
• Market sizing
• Any graduate
