Satkar Karki

I’m a graduate student pursuing an MS in Business Analytics at the University of South Dakota, set to graduate in 2026. With a strong entrepreneurial background, I co-founded Olive Records, where I secured funding and led cross-functional teams to successfully launch studio albums and organize large-scale events. My experience spans diverse sectors, including coordinating STEM projects at Krinjal Foundation and conducting market research at Offering Happiness, where I collaborated with marketing, product development, and engineering teams to drive brand growth. I’ve delivered international keynotes, which has boosted my confidence and refined my ability to communicate effectively across diverse audiences and high-stakes settings. I specialize in leveraging data-driven insights to foster innovation and collaboration, and I’m eager to connect with professionals who share a passion for strategic problem-solving and growth.

I bring diverse professional experience from roles at Krinjal and Offering Happiness, where I honed my skills in business operations, marketing, and customer engagement. At Krinjal, I successfully managed operational workflows and contributed to process improvements that enhanced efficiency and client satisfaction. With Offering Happiness, I spearheaded marketing campaigns and built strong client relationships, ensuring the delivery of tailored solutions that exceeded expectations. These experiences have provided me with a solid foundation in problem-solving, stakeholder collaboration, and strategic planning, which I am eager to bring to my future endeavors.

I am currently pursuing an MS in Business Analytics at the University of South Dakota, where I am developing a strong foundation in programming languages such as R, Python, and SAS. Alongside my formal education, I am enhancing my proficiency in industry-relevant tools like MS Excel, Power BI, and Tableau through both curriculum-based projects and self-paced online learning. This combination of academic rigor and continuous upskilling equips me to leverage advanced analytics and visualization techniques to solve complex business challenges and deliver actionable insights.
