Chandana J Dotrada Business Analyst

Business Analyst with product, process, and technical depth

Hello!

I am based in Bangalore, and I bring experience across enterprise risk-tech, demand planning, ERP evaluation, and software delivery. I enjoy turning ambiguity into structure through well-defined requirements, user stories, backlog priorities, and functional clarity.

I combine structured business analysis with technical understanding, which helps me work effectively in environments where teams need both clarity and momentum.

I ask the right questions early, define requirements clearly, stay close to delivery, and keep stakeholders aligned through testing, release, and post-deployment support.
