Aegon Life Insurance is certified as the Best Firm For Data Scientists to work for by Analytics India Magazine (AIM) through its workplace recognition programme.
The Best Firm For Data Scientists certification surveys a company’s data scientists and analytics employees to identify and recognise organisations with great company cultures. AIM analyses the survey data to gauge the employees’ approval ratings and uncover actionable insights.
"We are moving towards a world where pretty much every individual and every interaction has a digital footprint; hence, access to data is not a differentiator anymore... What is going to create a competitive advantage is the ability to ask the right questions and use data in the right way to answer them. In this context, our endeavour at Aegon Life has to attract the best minds in data science and engineering and provide them with an intellectually stimulating and supportive environment to work in," said Srinidhi Shama Rao, Chief Strategy Officer, Aegon Life Insurance.
"While the output that the team is producing speaks for itself, getting external recognition from an esteemed publication such as Analytics India Magazine is a different high. Thank you, AIM team, for recognising our team’s work! Analytics and Tech are going to play a central role in increasing insurance penetration and making every Indian household financially secure," added Rao.
The analytics industry at AIM faces a talent crunch, and attracting good employees is one of the most pressing challenges that enterprises are facing.
The certification by Analytics India Magazine is considered a ‘Gold Standard’ in identifying the best data science workplaces and companies participate in the programme to increase brand awareness and attract talent.
