Business Analysis is like problem-solving with purpose.
Imagine you’re a detective — but instead of solving crimes, you solve business puzzles using data, observations, and smart questions.

What is Business Analysis in Simple Words?
If you’ve ever wondered what exactly a Business Analyst does — you’re not alone. When I first heard the title, I imagined someone in a suit, sitting with spreadsheets all day. But as I stepped into this world, I discovered it’s so much more than that.
💡 Let’s Break It Down
Business Analysis is the process of understanding business problems and then finding smart, practical solutions to improve things.
Here’s a super simple way to think about it:
A Business Analyst is like a translator between business problems and technical solutions.
Let’s say a company is struggling with delayed deliveries. The Business Analyst steps in to figure out:
- What’s causing the delay?
- Who is affected?
- What does the data say?
- What’s the root cause?
- And most importantly — what can we do about it?
They work with stakeholders (like the operations team, product team, or even delivery partners) and come up with ways to fix the problem using data, logic, and tools.
🎯 What Does a Business Analyst Actually Do?
- Talks to teams to understand the problem
- Gathers and analyzes data
- Finds trends, bottlenecks, or gaps
- Suggests solutions (like process changes or automation)
- Creates reports, dashboards, or models
- Communicates everything clearly to both business and tech teams
🧠 Why Is This Role Important?
Businesses are constantly trying to get better — faster deliveries, higher sales, lower costs, happier customers.
A Business Analyst makes sure that decisions are driven by data, not just guesses. That’s powerful.
🔍 My Perspective
Coming from a non-analytics background, I found this field both challenging and exciting. Every day is a puzzle. You get to mix logic with creativity, numbers with narratives.
At Swiggy, my role as a Business Analyst isn’t just about numbers — it’s about impact. I help solve real-world problems that affect how people experience food delivery. And for me, that’s deeply satisfying.
✨ In One Line:
Business Analysis is simply the art of solving problems with purpose.
