EXPERIENCE

Research Intern, Indian Institute of Management Tiruchirappalli Mar 2021 - Present


• Currently working on two research projects both pertaining to the tourism industry in India
• The projects aim to bring out the change in travellers’ priorities during the covid times and what they expect from
hotels
• Derived various managerial implications which will help hotel managers better understand customers’ needs and hence
improve overall quality of service
Data Analyst and Content Writer , SIGMA - The Business Club of NITT Sep 2020 - Present
• Analysed real world business data to come up with effective solutions and forecast demand using machine learning and
time series models
• Wrote analytical articles involving extensive research about interesting business stories for SIGMA’s medium blog
• Developed intermediate level data science/analytical skills through kaggle’s certified microcourses and competitions

PROJECTS

Stock market analysis and automated portfolio optimisation


• Used various python libraries such as pandas, numpy, pyfinance, matplotlib, etc to extract, visualise and analyse stock
data.
• Compared the stocks based on key metrics such as the sharpe ratio and used CAPM analysis techniques to ultimately
arrive at the desired weights to be invested in each stock in order to optimise a given portfolio.
Sentiment Analysis of the Farmers Protest
• Scraped tweets using Twitter’s API (used keywords and hashtags to retrieve relevant tweets). Cleaned and organised
the text from all tweets in a pandas dataframe.
• Used NLTK and textblob to perform sentiment analysis and assign labels (+ve, -ve and neutral) to each tweet.
• Built and tested performance of Naive Bayes and Logistic regression based sentiment classifiers using scikit learn and
compared the two using confusion matrices.
• Related code can be found here under "Databyte-task-2.ipynb"
Exploring banking through data models
• Created a conceptual business model using fundamental building blocks of a simple banking system highlighting the
dynamics and relationships between the blocks.
• Important parameters that are vital to a bank’s functioning have been broken down and represented as multiple tables
that are part of a larger relational data model.
• Wrote SQL queries to help extract data that will be useful for the bank to help monitor potential defaulters better.
• The project can be found here
Retail Analytics
• Analysed 2 years worth of data concerning 45 retail stores and came up with insights and trends by performing EDA
which included decomposing a time series (weekly sales) into its trend, seasonal and residual components and studying
the contribution of each component to the series
• Forecasted total sales for 1 year using the Holt-Winters time series model
• Code can be found here
• The full blog post can be found here
Marketing Analytics
• Analysed marketing data that consisted of information about 2240 customers with 28 features
• Performed extensive EDA and explored the spread of different parameters by country, age group and education
• Predicted rate of acceptance of marketing campaigns using a logistic regression algorithm (binary classification)
