About Rohit Gupta

I specialize in pricing food and retail products, applying a diverse range of AI/ML and optimization techniques to develop optimal pricing strategies. My experience encompasses managing prices for both FMCG, such as burgers and cold drinks, and FMCD, like laptops and smartphones. I have worked with historical data as well as customer survey-based data.I did M.tech in Industrial and Management engineering (Department of Management Studies), IIT Kanpur with a specialization in statistical modelling and optimization. My thesis was focused on job shop scheduling with a parallel machine to minimize lateness and makespan. Additionally, I\'ve proposed an optimization methods to minimize lateness and delay penalties for on-time job delivery.Work experience - Working as an associate lead data scientist in Sigmoid analytics, Bengaluru, India- 5 years of experience as data scientist in Tiger analytics- Contractual role as a reviewer for NPTEL\'s Data Analytics and Decision Making Tools Part-1 course- 2-month internship at Sarda Group, worked on business process re-engineering.Skills -a) Statistical testing - Univariate, Bivariate, Wilcoxon rank sum test, chi-square test, T-test, F-test, Correlation (Pearson’s, spearmen’s rank, Cramer’s v),b) Analysis - Word cloud, Comparative Analysis, ANOVA, Mixed ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD, Clustering, SHAP analysisc) Modelling – Regression based models (Lasso, Ridge), Mixed effect, Tree base models (RF, XGB), Bayesian, Variable inflation factor, PCAd) Basics of NLP – Fuzzy Wuzzy, TF-IDF, Bert, openAI, gpt4all, huggingface embedding.e) Basics of Deep learning – LSTM, RNNe) Optimization – Linear programming, Branch and bound based algorithms, Simplex, Outer approximation decomposition, SLSQP, Cobyla.GitHub-
