Zoomcar\u2019s AI & Data Science Roadmap For 2021<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
Zoomcar has been instrumental in driving the digitalization of the self-drive ecosystem in India.\u00a0<\/span>Analytics India Magazine got in touch with Markish Arun, the Chief Technology Officer of Zoomcar, to understand its AI and data science roadmap for 2021 and how it addresses the data science talent crunch in the market. Zoomcar launched India\u2019s first vehicle model agnostic Driver Score Tech Stack for the passenger car segment. As per Arun, the AI-Powered algorithm with machine learning capabilities tracks the mechanical specs of the car and the driving style of the customer. In addition to that, it tracks and rates the critical events of driving. Not only this allows the operational units to have complete visibility of the car movement but also takes care of the condition, estimated time of arrival, and critical scenarios for the entire trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

How Lendingkart Uses Machine Learning<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
Lendingkart couples the available data with a machine-learning algorithm to equip lenders with an advanced system. This system assesses risks and approves loans at a much larger scale and lower costs. SMEs<\/span> (Micro,<\/span> Small, and Medium Enterprises) have been a significant contributor to India\u2019s GDP, manufacturing output, and exports. However, despite this huge impact of MSMEs on the Indian Economy, the sector is always crippled by the lack of access to credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The company uses advanced machine learning techniques and an open-source software library, XGBoost, with an explainability feature. The scoring platform, on the other hand, is a platform-as-a-service, hosted on AWS and developed using Python. It uses the Apache Kafka framework for real-time scoring and involves a slew of different services, including A\/B distribution, insurance APIs, amount policy configuration, etc.<\/span> \u201cThe<\/span> average time to score an application is approximately 3.5 secs,\u201d said Singh.<\/span><\/div>\n
