As an Analytics Lead in Supply Chain Analytics I've worked on multiple projects across supply chain.Seller Experience Improvement : Worked closely with multiple business teams to improve seller satisfaction score. Developed an RCA framework that helps in identifying various seller pain points leveraging data of key logistics performance metrics.Multi-Pickup speed goodness : Proposed a process change to improve end-to-end delivery speed. Simulated the process change with existing data to estimate the speed improvement and the cost incurred. Worked closely with business/product/engineering teams in implementing this new process.Supply availability prediction : Developed an availability prediction model to identify unplanned absenteeism in last mile network. This will help in taking necessary proactive steps to bridge the gap between last mile demand and supply. Productionized the model for real time prediction and consumption of the output.

At Flipkart I have worked across various teams building process KPIs, solving business problems and driving growth by leveraging data. Provided business solutions using various advanced analytical and data modelling techniques. Few of the projects I have worked on recentlySupply Chain Analytics – City Logistics• Developed a framework & tool for designing ‘Asset Lite Last Mile Supply Network’ based on projected future demand (i.e. delivery hubs locations, serviceable regions, delivery models to be on-boarded, etc.) leveraging Pixels, density & partition clustering and optimization techniques• Automated the process of daily route allocation by extracting the manual intelligence in daily route planning using PCA and implementing an optimization algorithm to maximize route familiarity• Performed in-depth analysis on customer availability during delivery attempt and identified key drivers, using Random Forest technique, to improve delivery conversion and reduce cost• Extracted dense customer hotspots across cities, using OPTICS clustering technique, to identify the potential and scale up a new delivery models using lockers, kiranas etc.• Designed last mile delivery network for groceries in multiple cities by applying K-Means clustering & cost optimization algorithms to identify the best locations for warehouse and delivery hubs• Evaluated various processes in city logistics network to identify all factors impacting the process performance and developed waterfall data models to measure the impact due to each factor and to take preventive and corrective actions to improve them
