The fact that minute details of any data can be uncovered excites Sudeshna.

Can you share the most interesting part of your career journey?

I experienced the most interesting part of my journey around two years back in the six years of my corporate career. Initially, the type of work I was assigned to do, even when I was hired in the analytics field, was not at all to my satisfaction, and I had almost given up the hope of pursuing a career in Data Science & AI. Then I took a bold leap and determined not to look back on what I was going to lose (which wasn’t much in any case) and landed on one of the best data science competencies in the market today. I got the opportunity to work on one of the best projects with some of the best minds. So, I can rightly say I am an AI warrior, pursuing the most interesting time of my career now.

What excites you most about working with data and AI?

The fact that I can uncover minute details of any data, answer tons of questions from just a few rows and columns of information and most importantly, predict the future and that too with some concrete numbers, is just too exciting and wakes me up every morning.

Describe an interesting project that you have worked on.

It would certainly be the one I am working on right now. “Customer lifetime value” prediction seemed to be quite interesting and not a very difficult task when we had begun. But soon we realised that our data was way too different for us to apply to the traditional models that have been used in the past. After a lot of intellectual labour for almost three months, we brainstormed innovative and different approaches, which can now adequately address all our concerns and issues. This would surely go down as one of the most challenging and, therefore, interesting jobs I have done so far.
