Below Chethan discusses why data is the next digital revolution.
Aspioneer (A): Tell us about the industry in which your business operates?
Chethan (C): “We are an Industry agnostic company but as GTM we have been more focused on the Retail, Internet, and D2C industry.”
(A): Why are you working in this industry? How is your business contributing to the industry?
(C): “Data is being gathered and created at rates unprecedented in history. Much of this data is intended to drive business outcomes but on average, less than half of an organization’s structured data is actively used in making decisions. We believe data is the next digital revolution, bigger and more disruptive than the web. We’re truly convinced everyone should be part of it. That’s why we want to help business leaders bring data-driven initiatives to life, without adding pressure on teams, budgets, or technological choices. Our strategy to handle the entire data science cycle from start to end with a single platform makes us stand out. We on the other side are focusing on mid-tier to SMB companies in this space who have just started adopting data-driven initiatives. Making their adoption process seamless, easy, and less hassle is what we are focusing on today. There is a great demand in the market by D2C companies to adopt digital and through that data becomes a key factor which is where we are working with them to make it happen.”

But bringing the right tools like Synctactic makes things very easy and affordable as well. Also, in the era where hiring is very challenging, organizations need to evolve from their misconception that everything needs to be in house, they should rather move out of the box and start adopting with collaborations and move faster with faster GTM when it comes to Analytics and BI.”
