Student and Member PlaceCom at Praxis Business School

I am a self-motivated individual, with a diverse technical background. Before joining the
Data Science program at Praxis Business School, I was working as a Geoscientist in Coal
India Limited for the past 6 years. I am holding an Integrated Master’s degree in Applied
Geology from the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM), Dhanbad.
During the time I was with Coal India Limited, I have worked with several flagship
companies and have gathered experience in geological modeling, remote sensing, GIS,
DBMS, Spatial Analytics, and Coal Exploration techniques.
While during my tenure, I developed a strong predilection towards the field of Machine
Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, I also tried to implement the acquired
knowledge of ML & AI in the field of GIS and Exploration planning & design for better
decision making. But as I wanted to expand my horizon of knowledge in the field of AI and
ML, I wished to join a business vertical where I could foray into the field of Data Science and
Machine Learning. This opportunity was given to me by Praxis Business School. Where
during the Program, I got placed at Genpact as Data Scientist. I really thank Praxis
business School for all the support and  I am hoping to onboard Genpact in June 2021.
