Bio
Radha Subramanian
Nitin is a passionate leader wanting to deliver the best in whatever he takes up. During the brief period that I worked with him at Play Simple Games, I have known him as a strong mentor and have been fortunate to learn from him not only on some theoretical aspects of data science but also their practical application to drive business outcomes. Nitin's enthusiasm for out-of-the-box thinking and innovative ideas are infectious. Wishing Nitin great success with his start up.

Nitin, as a consultant, helped TravelTriangle set up its analytics infrastructure. He was able to bring the latest infrastructure analytics stack & mostly open-source tools to avoid high cost. He was super committed to his work and not only delivered the entire infrastructure from 0 to 1 but also made sure the adoption in teams across the company (1 to 100). For that, he "worked through" function heads, inspired the team members, & delivered the goals on time. His commitment to work was contagious that left most of us as his friends (& him throwing frequent parties also helped :-)).
Tushar Kant Gupta
It was honour to work with Nitin. He hired me in Travel Triangle where he was consultant and building state of art analytics platform for a very complex business process. I give credit to his mentorship for my success at Travel Triangle. He helped me in building team, resolving process ambiguities, and putting a strategy to make analytics a core value for organization. His ability to craft product blueprints, aligning different teams to a common goal and inspiring engineers for delivery are commendable. I learned a lot and wish to work with him again in future.
