Co-Founder, Saturncart

Saturncart is an AI/IOT powered mobile application that enables self-checkout in grocery and fashion retail stores. We have developed a Computer Vision based security module that ensures verification of items in real-time, hence eliminating the need for checkout lines.
Saturncart collects in-cart products data - that was earlier never available to retailers - and uses it for real-time dynamic deals and recommendations and hence increases basket size per user.

Analyst, Data Engineering

I was the first analyst hired at the Go-jek Bangalore office. My work initially revolved around cancellation analysis. But, currently I'm working on the MVP for a Merchant Voucher Platform. I'm exclusively working on understanding customer behaviour in order to segment them based on quantitative and qualitative tags. A preliminary MVP has increased the redemption % of a certain kind of merchant specific vouchers to from ~1% to ~9.5%

Analyst, Growth and New Initiatives

Leasing and Offers
We increased driver earnings by carefully balancing product mix of the drivers. As part of the demand arm of Growth, we provided the city marketing managers with actionable insights on campaign-customer segment affinity, to increase targeting efficiency, and thus improve ROI.
Availability and Supply Movement
I was tasked with measuring cab availability in the top zones of each city, ranking them by grade and cost - resulting in a weekly report with insights, heat maps and action items that allocation, peak, city teams acted on. This report was viewed by leadership (CEO, CFO) etc.
I owned supply movement from formulating the algorithm for identification of zones-times to action. I also worked closely with the data science team on the second leg of the project to formulate a more complex set of rules to accurately predict where movement of cars is most beneficial.
Peak-Pricing
A 2 member unit, including me, was set up to break our current algorithm on all edge cases and find all possible flaws in it. We recreated the algorithm, simulated it under various conditions, and found numerous bugs, saving several order of magnitude money, for the company.
Conversion Funnel
The CTO instituted a 3 member team working directly under him to thoroughly understand the conversion funnel and formulate a plan to tackle certain issues with the funnel at a location-time combination. We created tools that surface problems and possible reasons so that the respective teams can take care of it.
