Data Scientist

Responsibilities:

• Discount Prediction: Analyzed historical data of Discounts offered to Cloud and Non-Cloud accounts. Identified key Insights on how Discounts are varying by Region, Product Segment, Vertical, Contract type etc. Developed a Predictive model in Azure ML Studio to estimate the Discount that can be offered for a successful renewal, based on the key KPI’s associated with that account by using Boosted Decision trees.
• Deal Velocity: Developed a logistic model to Predict the no of days for a deal to get closed for various class of products based on Historical CRM data such as negotiation days, solution days, leakage etc.…
• Transit Cancellations: Analyzed data from past 4 years and arrived at a model to predict the cancellations and No -shows of transit bookings by Employees. Used Multiclass Random Forest in Azure ML to develop the model. Also, arrived at Schedule optimization based on Utilization levels of different shuttle ID’ across the day to reduce wastage.
• Time Series Forecasting: Built various Univariate and Multivariate Time series models (ets, stl, Naïve, Holt, Holt-Winter ARIMA, ARIMAX, VAR models) to Forecast Sales for various products. Forecast COGS & OPEX for different organizations and teams. Automated the forecasting process in Azure ML. Also, developed vendor Spend, Hiring and Attrition models.

Data Scientist

Responsibilities:

• Renewal Subscription Predictions:
• Statistical modelling to predict the Renewal probability for various cloud products & solutions using R & Lumira. Used Logistic regression, LDA & random forest decision trees.
• Unsupervised learning using K means Clustering in understanding the behavioral differences between accounts renewed & not and explaining the insights to Account Mangers.
• Roll out the implementation to use the statistical insights by field teams by incorporating the predicted scores & risk scores in sales/CRM systems.
• Supplier Risk identification: Regression model developed to predict the transaction fee paid by supplier. Based on the model predictions, the suppliers at risk were identified based on the extent of decrease in transactions by them with Buyers. Used PCA, LASSOO & Decision trees in R
• Extracted Spend data (Accounts payable) for all the Ariba buyers from different sources using VB scripts and built a Spend Insights DB in SAP HANA.
• Compared this with Ariba Network data and identified gaps in terms of spend & transaction volume to be further pushed through Ariba Systems.
• Design and Implement a platform using Text mining Packages in R & Python(tm, openNLP,NLTK3.0) for cleansing, harmonizing, classifying, matching, merging, de-duping, and profiling Buyer, supplier and third-party data for use within solutions and created Business Taxonomy model involving Millions of rows of customer transaction text data
• Built and disseminated automated business case tools which were scalable for various client industries and capable of dynamically generating value propositions based on client pain points.
• Steered the development of advanced deep dive customer diagnostic process for pursuit stage and flight planning such as Supplier flight planning, Category flight planning, etc. to indicate the road to success for customers.
