The Importance Of Continued Learning To Stay Relevant In This VUCA Age - Salil Kumar, Head – Business Intelligence, Analytics & CRM, Reliance Mutual Fund

Data scientists, said Mr Kumar, need to learn how to engage stakeholders, develop a management perspective and articulate their findings in the best manner possible. It is imperative to polish one’s communication skills to be successful in data analytics, otherwise one cannot sell his/her views and findings internally. Mr Kumar also suggested the students of VGSoM to regularly read about the latest developments in analytics through various online reports.

Mr Kumar also shared some useful insights on Mutual Funds while answering the queries of the inquisitive learners in the audience. His views on long-term and short-term investments, the role of fund managers and blending finance, analytics and CRM to achieve best results were highly educative.

By suggesting that the future managers should adopt the culture of whichever organizations they work in, Mr Kumar concluded his interactive session from which the audience took back a great deal of learning.
