growth rate

Mu Sigma is only one out of eight Indian Unicorns that have shown consistent
profits over the years
Indian data analytics firm Mu Sigma has reported a 22% growth in net profits
at Rs 462.9 crore on a revenue of Rs 809.5 crore for 2015-16, in a year when
the company’s founder Dhiraj Rajaram was sued by a former investor and a
dispute with his partner Ambiga ended in a divorce.
Mu Sigma is only one out of eight Indian Unicorns that have shown consistent
profits over the years, even as Rajaram took control of the company with a
51.6% stake in October 2016 after he bought shares of his ex-wife.

Ambiga had taken over as chief executive officer of Mu Sigma in February, a
month before Rajaram was sued in March by Aon Corp founder Patrick G
Ryan accusing him of cheating hundreds of millions of dollars.

The lawsuit alleged that Rajaram had bought back Mu Sigma shares citing dull
growth prospects of the company. Ryan had invested $1.5 million in Mu Sigma
in 2006 and was paid $9.3 million to sell his shares in 2010.

Mu Sigma had reported a profit of Rs 380 crore and revenue of Rs 684.2 crore
in 2014-15, regulatory filings data sourced by Tofler showed. Mu Sigma stated
that the growth in revenue and profits came on the hand of growth in its
business during FY16.

“The increase in revenue and net profit is accredited to increase in turnover in

comparison to the last financial year. No dividend was declared for the
current financial year due to conservation of profits of the company,” said Mu
Sigma in the filing.

Rajaram and Ambiga, who founded Mu Sigma a decade ago, built India’s
largest independent analytics company helping firms such as Microsoft,
Walmart Stores and Dell Inc to get more revenue from their customers.

They also built an in-house classroom to train young graduates to look at

analytics as a career that helps spawn an industry focused on analytics.
The Mu Sigma founder has the backing of its investors General Atlantic,
MasterCard, Fidelity Investments and Sequoia Capital, which collectively put
nearly $200 million in Mu Sigma.

India’s analytics industry is estimated to be around $2 billion, according to

software industry lobby Nasscom, which is expected to grow ten-fold to $20
billion by 2025.

While growth remained strong, gross margins of Mu Sigma fell by 1.5% to

36.6% during 2015-16 as calculated on earnings and profit before taxes.

Responsibilities and skills required

Data scientist

A data scientist’s chief responsibility is data analysis, which begins with

data collection and ends with business decisions based on analytic
results.

The data that data scientists analyze draws from many sources,
including structured, unstructured, or semi-structured data. The more
high-quality data available to data scientists, the more parameters they
can include in a given model, and the more data they will have on hand
for training their models.

Structured data is organized, typically by categories that make it easy

for computers to sort, read, and organize automatically. This includes
data collected by services, products, and electronic devices, but rarely
data collected from human input. Website traffic data, sales figures,
bank accounts, or GPS coordinates collected by your smartphone —
these are structured forms of data.

Unstructured data, the fastest-growing form of data, comes more likely

from human input — customer reviews, emails, videos, social media
posts, etc. This data is more difficult to sort through and less efficient to
manage with technology, thus requiring a bigger investment to maintain
and analyze. Businesses typically rely on keywords to make sense of
unstructured data to pull out relevant data using searchable terms.

Semi-structured data falls between the two. It doesn’t conform to a data

model but does have associated metadata that can be used to group it.
Examples include emails, binary executables, zipped files, websites,
etc.

Typically, businesses employ data scientists to handle unstructured

data and semi-structured data, whereas other IT personnel manage
and maintain structured data. Yes, data scientists do deal with lots of
structured data, but businesses increasingly seek to leverage
unstructured data in service of revenue goal, making approaches to
unstructured data key to the data scientist role.

Skills

● Programming: The “most fundamental of a data scientist’s

skill set,” programming improves your statistics skills, helps
you “analyze large datasets,” and gives you the ability to
create your own tools, Chen says.

● Quantitative analysis: Quantitative analysis improves your

ability to run experimental analysis, scale your data strategy,
and help you implement machine learning.

● Product intuition: Understanding products will help you

perform quantitative analysis and better predict system
behavior, establish metrics, and improve debugging skills.

● Communication: Possibly the most important soft skills

across every industry, strong communication skills will help
you “leverage all of the previous skills listed,” says Chen.

● Teamwork: Much like communication, teamwork is vital to a

successful data science career. It requires being selfless,
embracing feedback, and sharing knowledge with your team,
says Chen.
