Dynamic Targeting serves as a strategic directive for field teams, leveraging the most current customer data and insights. Enhancement of this process is achieved through the consideration of the latest activities of HCPs, the application of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, and the implementation of regular updates.

Key objective.

• Develop machine learning (ML) models first to identify similar characteristic HCPs. Subsequently, delve into assessing the impact of calls on sales. Later Identify the driver(s) which are contributing to the HCPs’ movement in Dynamic call plan compared to the usual call plan - either added or removed from call plan, or an increase or decrease in frequency of call.

Developed model to identify and prioritized certain specific type of vehicles for sales which are pending and taking high turnaround time with the salvage vendor.


Key objective:

• To Pre-process the data of more than 1 Million Records and hundreds of Features.

• To build and Train a Machine Learning Model using Logistics Regression, Random Forest Classification, Xgboost Classification.

• Involved in parameter tuning process for optimal model hyperparameters.

• To find the accuracy of the Model Prediction using Classification Reports, Confusion Matrix, AUC Score.

• Generate actionable insights from data and creating presentations to make recommendations for improvement The complete model builds in python environment


Active delinquent loans in a particular month can move to any three possible stages in next 12 months: Claim, natural cure and workout. The objective of the delinquent account status prediction model is to identify a loan moving into above mention three different segments in 12 months.


Key objectives:

• Multi nominal logistic regression technique to identify the loans moving to a particular segment with a definite prob. Value.

• The basic objective with this approach is to simultaneously all different probability of a loan moving to different segment in the next 12 months.

• Define the relationship between a categorical dependent variable and continuous/categorical independent variables.

• Saved $ value by implementing cost-saving initiatives that addressed long-standing problems.


US Mortgage Insurance organization seeks to establish an application forecast. Applications are steered by movement in macro- economic factor combine with internal policy decision. Business is looking to forecast monthly application volume for better resource planning.


Key objectives:

• A build a hybrid forecasting model, combining Time Series and ARIMA techniques.

• Forecasts of MI applications for next 7 months.

• Since macro-economic factors play a big role in steering this numbers, ARIMA technique use to predict monthly numbers, taking in account of effect of existing home sales, fixed rate interest, consumer confidence index.

• Weighted Average of TS component and ARIMA is applied to predict the final monthly numbers, where weights are decided by proportion of individual MAPE of these two-mention techniques.


To provide lenders with anticipated turn time of 4H and 9H application when they submit the data. Business was looking for growth rate driven by customer awareness and experience


Key Objectives:

• Build predictive model using three different in the process.

• Use robust regression Model to handle outlier's points.

• We have created hourly and weekday level matrix to check the variance.

• Also, we drill down analysis and identify at which level we are getting higher variance.
