About Balkrishna Singhania

I am passionate about anything quantitative and digital and figure out how they solve real live problems and promotes data and information based decisions. I want to continue learn the field as it has evolved from simple regression techniques to many of the ML techniques now. At the same time, there is a belief of right human angle to the solution so that we understand the interpretation of these solutions and potential upside and when these solutions may not hold results. Areas of interest: Advanced analytics, Customer analytics, data strategy, business intelligence, cloud and digital
