Sanjoy: You have mammoth data from your business transactions and you have the onus to analyse that on the point-of-generation and provide other decision makers with alternative suggestions- yet you do not have an entire department to help you. You do not want any contingent dependencies on the IT department- you want a smart, slick, robust and handy, easy tool that can be configured, modified and can provide you the best of the representations in minutes- That is what Ideal Analytics provides you!

Armed with my background, I can winnow the husk from the core and can use the most appropriate elements to bring out a comprehensive solution of any problematic – from the angle of technology, management and psychology & social interaction for any need.

CE: How do you think the Indian education system has changed in the last 15 years? What is your advice to budding engineers?

Sanjoy: Indian education system has become more solution orientated- that is the good part of the phenomenon, but it needs to be more and more adaptive to the industry and social problems and much more practically appropriate. The mere instructive part needs to be substituted by creative and innovative approaches.

Engineering being a social solution, the Engineers should have their eyes open and their passions fired up to bring in complete solutions.
