  • It was an academic collaboration with IIT KGP. Objective was to come up with optimal function to suggest inspirational and avoidable products in a vertical/category for product development teams from available data points such as reviews, ratings, sentiments, sales data, ageing, etc addressing cold start problem, and other challenges.
  • 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫:
  • A system which can propose products to be launched under private label brands based on various success metrics. We carried out multiple POCs and built certain vertical/category specific models using various AI/ML/DL approached such as GAN, image processing, etc for category such as lifestyle, large home appliances, etc, leveraging catalogue/sales/review/rating/sentiment data points.
  • Uses:
  • Both the above products helped private level teams understand what to launch in a vertical/category directly taking inspiration from the proposed products along with insights for different aspects of those products to focus such as functional and design aspects and validating against the avoidable products to ensure better run rate in terms of increased sales/margin/customer NPS/brand placement/etc along side significantly controlled RTO/RVP metrics.
  • Contributions:
  • Coordinated with Flipkart Data Science Team along with Prof. Sudeshna Sarkar from IIT KGP, right from formalisation of problem statement till implementation and evaluation by mentoring intern from IIT KGP for first part. Worked on several POC's along with team for second part.
