How has been your journey in Analytics?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nIt has been a great learning experience & also a rewarding journey so far. I have had the opportunity of showcasing my Analytical skills and am fortunate that I have been applauded for it too.<\/p>\n
Such an opportunity came to me within a few days of joining Accenture. I got an opportunity to build a Logistic Regression model on SAS to predict the churn probabilities of customers of a US based Retail Company.<\/p>\n
In fact, the objective of the project was to build an automated pricing tool which would tell that if the price increases by a certain percentage, what is the probability of churn of a particular customer.
\nThe team which was working on it was using Excel, SQL & VBA to build the tool & had come to a point where they got stuck & didn’t know how to proceed.<\/p>\n
At that point I gave them the idea of building a model to predict customer churn which can be used further to build the pricing tool.
\nBut since the team members didn’t have statistical modeling skills, I developed the model for them using Logistic Regression on SAS which was used to build the automated pricing tool.<\/p>\n
Later on the project manager openly acknowledged my contribution in that project.<\/p>\n
What prompted you to move to Analytics and what were the challenges that you faced?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nIn 2012, I became an unfortunate victim of downsizing in my previous organization. Since I already had 7+ years of industry experience & sound knowledge of statistics, I decided take the plunge in the exciting world of Analytics. Most of the students of Ivy are either fresh graduates or working professionals with industry experience. I was the only student who had work experience but was rendered jobless for reasons beyond my control. So the biggest challenge for me was to complete the course successfully & rejoin the corporate world once again at position which would be commensurate to my experience & my previous compensation package.<\/p>\n
How has your association been with IVY?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nIt has been an enlightening & enriching association. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Prateek, Eeshani, Souvik & Sandip for everything they have done for me.<\/p>\n
Thanks for your kind words Subhojit. We wish you the best in your career ahead.<\/p>\n
Students like you make us proud!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
