Dear Reader,
This is an open letter of thanks to each and everyone who had helped me, guided me in every single aspect. I just connected the dots and it is you people who played a vital role in my professional and career aspect.
I would like to thank everyone with a small description explaining how you played an important role in my life. I think told isn't possible without you. I won't be able to name all, but want to name few who are the game changer in my life
The story of a Data Scientist begins between 2013-2014 when I 1st heard R and Python mentioned by Kora Reddy in his office than in Domlur, Bangalore. I never knew, what is Data Science. Again in 2014-15 when I was with Nikhil Jain in CredR's initial accommodation I met my 1st Data Scientist who was a close friend of Nikhil and then he was working for Fractal Analytics now for Oyo room was speaking some data science terminologies and I was not able to get it.
I told Nikhil; who is this weird guy?
He replied: "He is a Data Scientist"
I still wasn't able to get who is a data Scientist! what he does.
It was 2015, a chap from IIT-B was doing image processing for us and then got introduced to Python and its image processing techniques, yet unable to understand. But was able to see the difference in the image; fascinated!!! made my eyebrows rise...
After August 2015; I got disconnected with the data science team and involved completely into Market Research, Product Launch, and Business Development.
In was 1st September 2016; then City head of Cars24; Chirag Takkar was able to identify my analytical skills and told me to take analytics rather than doing sales before putting a full stop in cars24. I was not convinced by Chirag and had a halo effect or mindset.
It was Infurnia when I was introduced to various software that I hardly knew and in 2017 I kept on reading software patches of the product I used to sell and gained some confidence that I can write any code.
It was in March 2017 when Infurnia told we can't go with the sales team. I was broke and it took 2 months to figure out what went wrong. Chirag’s word was humming in my mind and some codes in Infurnia product boosted my confidence.
It was the end of May 2017, I called Siddhart Biyani who in 2014 suggested me to learn R and in 2014 he used work in Exon Mobil in a Data Science team. He guided me or suggested me a roadmap on learning R.
It took a couple of months to learn R and then I contacted Aniket Bokde who in 2015 showed me image processing. He motivated me and told how I can learn Machine Learning.
Thank you, everyone!

Later in 2018, I contacted a couple of people like Sudheer Katta who was then the data science head for credr who evaluated my data science portfolio. Krill who also evaluated my portfolio and both suggested me how to go ahead with data science.
I thank each and everyone in my life who played some or the other role directly or indirectly. I want to take an opportunity to thank some of them as follows:
I thank each and everyone in my life who played some or the other role directly or indirectly. I want to take an opportunity to thank some of them as follows:
- Kora Reddy: For 4 years I was doing Technical Analysis and you are the one who helped me understand how its done on quantitative aspect. Again you are the 1st person who told about R and Pyhton. I was blindly doing technical analysis and you helped me understand what is going on.
- Nikhil: You provided me an opportunity. I didn't knew anything, associating with you; help know some fascinating people from data scientist
- Chirag: Thank you for letting me know my capabilities. You played a role of Jambvant, understanding my strength
- Lovepreet: It was in your company I was able to know I can code. I used to look into the product codes and tried to understand how it is written and understand the structure of a software.
- Biyani: You are my 1st motivator, remember the day we 1st met Marathahalli in 2014. You told me to lean R; I still remember it clearly. Thank you for guiding me again in 2017. You are my game changer
- Bokde: Bhai, your guidance on Machine Learning was essential and you helped me in every step. Starting from machine learning to landing my 1st job.
- Katta: Thank you for reviewing my portfolio. Your insights on Scala and big data technology were valuable input and I am on it.
- Kirill Eremenko: Thank you for reviewing my portfolio and assisting me in my data science learning.
Thank you, everyone!
