IDDAC — Govt. Analytics Platform

Sr. Project Consultant at the Department of Technology, SPPU — with primary responsibility across both the BA and BI tracks, working alongside the Project Manager. Role evolved to include project management activities. Full BA+BI delivery for the Swayam & Hostel module; partial BI work across other TDD applications subject to project stage and resource availability.

• ▸Engaged senior government stakeholders across TDD (Secretary level) and TRTI (Commissioner level), and coordinated with field offices spanning 4 Additional Tribal Commissioners and 29 Project Offices across Maharashtra
• ▸Conducted stakeholder interviews, one-on-one and group meetings, and facilitated formal requirement workshops
• ▸Mapped AS-IS workflows and data flows across 6 live TDD applications — identifying fragmentation points, data ownership gaps, and consolidation priorities
• ▸Coordinated with multiple government IT vendors (Mahaonline, Probity Soft, NIC) to understand existing data structures and integration constraints
• ▸Defined high-level functional and non-functional requirements for the analytics platform
• ▸Contributed to data governance framework discussions covering data accuracy, integrity, and access controls
• ▸For the Swayam & Hostel module: gathered end-to-end requirements covering hostel admissions, scholarship management, fund allocation, and student data flows
• ▸Defined KPIs and reporting logic for fund allocation tracking, hostel occupancy, and student admissions data
• ▸Developed dashboard specifications and data visualisation requirements for the Swayam module
• ▸Navigated vendor delays through persistent follow-up, escalation, and clear requirement documentation
• ▸Maintained detailed documentation across frequent government stakeholder changes to ensure continuity
• ▸Managed budget reappropriation and utilization certificate submissions

• ▸Full BA+BI delivery for the Swayam & Hostel module — successfully deployed for TDD staff
• ▸AS-IS workflow and data flow mapping across 6 live TDD applications

• ▸KPI frameworks and dashboard specifications for the Swayam & Hostel module
• ▸Training materials and user documentation for platform onboarding
• ▸Stakeholder engagement across TDD (Secretary level), TRTI (Commissioner level), 4 ATCs, and 29 Project Offices

• ▸Note: The broader IDDAC platform did not reach full deployment due to vendor, hardware, and stakeholder constraints. The Swayam module was the primary functional output of the engagement.

• ▸Government-scale BA engagements require deep stakeholder management skills — navigating seniority, institutional complexity, and frequent personnel changes
• ▸Mapping data flows across fragmented, multi-vendor government systems demands structured analytical thinking and persistent stakeholder coordination
• ▸External constraints — vendor delays, trade restrictions, bureaucratic processes — are real delivery risks in large public sector initiatives. Documenting them professionally and maintaining delivery continuity is a core BA competency
• ▸Delivering a working module under constraints demonstrates problem-solving and ownership beyond standard BA scope
• ▸Operating across BA, BI, and PM tracks simultaneously builds a well-rounded delivery capability valuable in resource-constrained environments
