Practice Head - BI & Visualization
Having spent the last decade servicing clients across industries and geographies, I’ve learnt how the power of data can be harnessed to not only solve problems, but empower an organization to confidently make highly impactful decisions. In AKIRA, I’ve worked closely with Indian retail giants for them to get to know their customers better so they can engage more with them and increase returnship, a problem that plagues businesses new or old. Organizations that can trickle down insights from data to the ground level, like store executives, can truly elevate business to the next level. Identifying and solving for several interconnected problems, whilst being humbled by real challenges such as data literacy, adoption and simplification of our solutions has been a challenge I’ve loved waking up to everyday. I find my team is equally excited and motivated by such propositions, and it’s a pleasure working in such a high energy environment where everyone is goal oriented. There are new opportunities and learnings everyday while working with my teams, and this makes AKIRA an unparalleled environment for me.
