About Sumeet Bedekar

One of the first and common memories in school and college, is going to a parent teachers conference and having my teacher\'s tell my parents,\"Sumeet is definitely one of the most talkative in class, struggled with social studies, and excelled in science and Math\". I had no idea that these early qualities would have such a big impact on my future.Throughout my life, I have connected the dots and developed skills to design human-centered data products. This has enabled both me and my users to drive business growth by translating data into meaningful insights and compelling stories.With a background in electronics engineering, you might wonder how I ended up in the world of data. Well, I found that - I love numbers- I love to solve problems using modern technology and data- I love to Scale and OptimizeWith a decade (10 Years) of experience in designing and developing data products for Procter & Gamble (P&G), Johnson & Johnson (J&J)(Kenvue), and General Mills, I\'ve learned that the key to a successful data analytics product lies in five essential elements:1) Happiness: easy to grasp.2) Engagement: keeping users interested.3) Adoption: widely used.4) Retention: keeping users around.5) Task Completion: helping users succeedThis is important because \"Life’s too short to build something nobody wants…\"To accomplish these success metric, I\'ve effectively followed 5 steps mantra:1) Empathize: Understand users\' needs through thorough research.2) Define \"Real\" problem 3) Ideate4) Prototype5) Test and Deliver6) IterateBy following design / product thinking approach, I\'ve been able to deliver successful data solutions that make a impact.Feel free to read about my experience, achievement and projects in experience section.
