Sharan Sharma

Sharan joined TAM seventeen years ago in a business development role. He had no inkling then that he would get deeply interested in statistics and survey methodology; a testimony to the freedom that TAM gives its employees. With a desire for research excellence, Sharan founded the Measurement Science Department at TAM and took a sabbatical to complete a Masters in Applied Statistics from the University of Michigan (UofM), Ann Arbor.

Some of the research solutions created by Sharan & his team to solve some unique data & statistical challenges at TAM - e.g. the approach to detect interviewer falsification – have been globally recognized. Sharan is currently completing his Ph.D. in Survey Methodology from the University of Michigan where some part of his research deals with the subject of Interviewer Measurement error.

The journey at TAM has helped him appreciate not only the scientific and business needs of an Organization but also enabled him to view situations holistically. Importantly, thanks to Mr. LV Krishnan and the other amazing people at TAM, he has imbibed a 'peoples-approach' to managing tricky situations.
