The COVID-19 outbreak has led firms to lay off employees, including data scientists, to cut operation costs. However, a few companies are actively recruiting data scientists to work on new innovative services, as well as enhance existing ones amid slow growth. This might allow companies to offer superior solutions once the lockdown ends, and gain a competitive advantage for business growth. Since the lockdown, the number of opening jobs related to analytics has drastically decreased, but there are still significant numbers of positions that aspirants can apply for.
Airtel X Labs
Airtel X Labs’ prime objective is to enhance customer experience with bespoke solutions by analysing a plethora of data that the company collects. Airtel offers a wide range of products, such as Xtreme, Wink, and more, which might be witnessing a surge in users during the COVID-19 crisis. For one, more than 30 lakh people use its My Airtel App every day, and 1,000 process online recharge every minute through its application.
The company further plans to go beyond consumer business and tap the cloud, IoT and security market in the coming years. Airtel collects 2-5 trillion records each day, which would require data scientists to drive its business even under the lockdown. Currently, the company is hiring data scientists for spotting new business opportunities in customer experience.
