If you ask any industry insider what that one word that forms the epicentre of the tech industry today is, the answer would be data. There is a reason why it is called the oil of the 21st industry. New industries have emerged, and older ones have gone from strength to strength with the ability to collect, tame and derive insights from a sea of data.
Founded in 2014, Saarthee’s business-centric complete solution provider approach to some of the most pressing challenges differentiates it from its competitors. Saarthee’s analytics capabilities have helped companies in scientific decision making and increased their profitability by powering their sales and marketing efforts.

Saarthee is a one-stop-shop for all things data and analytics. The company offers a 360-degree view to derive useful insights via services like data management, data engineering, data visualisation, predictive modelling, machine learning, voice analytics and marketing campaign execution.

Integrating Data Science with a deep understanding of the business

Interpersonal Analytics
Dashboards can be a bunch of views put together or carefully crafted lenses formed after delving into analysis, digging data and most importantly interacting with people who have been on the business side looking for clever views that move the needle. Models can be a mundane act of putting blocks together with a thin understanding of business and its relationship of variables resulting in dysfunctional models. Voice Sentiment Model can be built but knowing how to weave it into organisational goals to lift the bottom line is the key result-generating initiative.
