"Data is more than numbers – it's the story behind every decision."

I am Kiran Kumar Chakkapally

A passionate data enthusiast with a robust analytical background and a keen ability to uncover insights that drive strategic decisions and foster business growth.

My Story

My journey began as a dedicated national Taekwondo player, competing in the Under-19 category and participating in numerous state and national championships. For over ten years, I pushed my limits, embracing discipline and resilience. Eventually, life led me to shift my focus to academics, and I embraced the challenge by pursuing a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering with a fully funded sports scholarship.

After graduation, I joined KisanKraft Ltd as a Business Data Analyst. It was here that I discovered my passion for transforming data into actionable insights—driving efficiency, boosting revenue, and making an impact. This realization motivated me to deepen my skills, and in 2023, I moved to the United States to pursue a Master's in Information Systems with a focus on Business Data Analytics.

Beyond data, I love teaching, spending time with my family, and enjoying moments with friends. My dream is to make a difference in the education and healthcare sectors, where I believe my skills can truly have an impact—whether it's improving learning outcomes or enhancing patient care through data-driven solutions.
