The boy keeps walking until he sees that a tree has fallen and its trunk blocks the road.\u00a0 It then begins to rain. While adults honk their horns and two government employees appear to sleep in their truck, the boy tries to move the trunk out of the way.\u00a0 Some other kids quickly join him in the effort.\u00a0 Despite the bad weather, adults leave their cars and auto rickshaws to help the kids with the tree.\u00a0 When the group reaches a critical mass, they are able to push the tree trunk out of the way.\u00a0 Traffic begins to move and the government employees wake-up.\u00a0 The rain stops, the sun comes out, and the group that moved the tree begins to celebrate.\u00a0 Most are dressed in Western clothes, but some are wearing more traditional clothing.\u00a0 During the celebration, a Hindi song plays in the background with a line that repeats, \u201cIf you go, India goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This advertisement can be seen as a good allegory for India\u2019s future economic growth. If India is to succeed, the younger generation must be willing to lead a diverse group.\u00a0 This is because one-quarter of India\u2019s population are under 18 years old and 50% are under 35 years old.\u00a0 India has over 22 official languages and a vast number of ethnic groups.<\/p>\n<p>As we learned from a speaker from Vodofone, the government is often slow and dysfunctional.\u00a0 The Vodofone speaker further explained, government efforts often consist of three steps forward and two steps back.\u00a0 The video\u2019s focus on a traffic jam is not surprising as India\u2019s lack of infrastructure is often the constraint to further economic growth.\u00a0 India\u2019s roads are inadequate, electricity can be unreliable, and not all Indians have access to indoor plumbing.<\/p>\n<p>Several of the data analytics companies that we met with as part of the GBE sought to turn these infrastructure challenges into opportunities with the use of data analytics.\u00a0 As there is a plethora of traffic in Indian cities, two of the companies we visited, Flipkart and Amazon India, deliver goods directly to consumers.\u00a0 Both Flipkart and Amazon manage their supply chain and establish the routes for deliveries through data analytics.<\/p>\n<p>We also visited with Ola Cabs, a fierce competitor of Uber\u2019s in India.\u00a0 As the traffic in Delhi was becoming unmanageable and pollution a significant problem, the city has recently instituted, for a trial period, a rule where private vehicles are allowed to run on the streets on alternate days depending on whether their license plates end in even or odd numbers.\u00a0 The head of Ola Cabs\u2019 shuttle service explained to the Darden students that he saw the automobile restrictions as a boon to Ola\u2019s shuttle business.\u00a0 Ola uses analytics to develop the routes for its private bus service.\u00a0 Ola also uses data science to provide dynamic, surge pricing for its taxi service.\u00a0 One of the Ola speakers explained to students how Ola derives this algorithm from raw data.<\/p>\n<p>One of the professors at the Indian Institute for Management Bangalore spoke to Darden students about working with a bank to use analytics to determine how to make credit decisions for businesses that have no credit rating, loan payment history, or substantial documentation to establish annual income and costs.<\/p>\n<p>While we visited data science companies spanning many different industries, the data scientists who shared their basic methodology shared a similar approach.\u00a0 Our speaker from EXL identified four steps in the process of using data to solve a business problem.\u00a0 These were:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gather and Manage the Data<\/li>\n<li>Analyze and Monitor the Data<\/li>\n<li>Build a Predictive Model<\/li>\n<li>Incorporate the Predictive Model into Business Strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With all the power that analytics can provide, our Amazon India speaker reminded us that not everything is predictable.\u00a0 Thus, no matter how powerful your analytics tools are, they cannot be employed in every business situation.<\/p>\n<p>I was interested to learn from our data science speaker at Flipkart, who was in charge of analytics, what separated the best data scientists from the mediocre ones.\u00a0 He said that the best data scientists were the best listeners.\u00a0 They carefully listened to what the internal client needed and crafted a solution to meet these specific needs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_907\"
