Role you're checking
Strategy Analyst
Business & Management
Strategy Analysts sit inside a company's central strategy or corporate-development team and answer the questions the CEO and the board are betting the next 3-5 years on. The work spans market entry, M&A targeting and diligence, competitor deep-dives, new-business-incubation models, capital-allocation memos, and strategic narrative for board and investor reviews. In India, this role lives in three distinct contexts. (1) Conglomerates — Reliance, Tata, Aditya Birla, Adani, Mahindra — where strategy teams influence Rs 1,000Cr+ capital decisions and report into the Group Chairman or CFO. (2) Tech and FAANG-IN — Flipkart, Razorpay, Amazon India, Google India, Meta India — where strategy partners with product and finance on category bets and M&A. (3) Mid-stage Indian unicorns — Cred, Swiggy, Zomato, Lenskart, Nykaa — where the strategy team is small (4-12 people), runs the founder's most important calls, and often acts as 'CEO chief of staff' in disguise. Distinct from Management Consultants (external advisors, time-boxed engagements) and from Business Analysts (operational metrics, shorter time horizon) — Strategy Analysts own the company's longest-time-horizon thinking.
