Saarthee: One-stop shop for data, analytics &#038; more
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. Moving away from the traditional approach to data analytics is this one company that first focuses on the business problem at hand to deliver customised and most effective solutions that suit best. 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. Last year, the company was ranked among the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the US. Delivering Cutting Edge Analytics Saarthee’s unique positioning in the industry is to be a complete solution provider besides being the enterprise analytics power engine. It is a tool-agnostic company that aims to read into the minds of decision-makers and action skewers and align every analytical exercise towards strategic insights. C-Suite Problem Solving Being a high-level Management Consulting firm, Saarthee’s executive c-suite level problem-solving exposure gives them a unique view and instincts to question the impact of every analysis and reporting. The complex exercises demand impactful analytical outcomes be it reporting, analysis, visualisation or strategy. Continuous learning is applied to downstream processes making the solution more intuitive, sharp and insightful. Integrating Data Science with a deep understanding of the business Significant increase in data volume and diversity has prompted data science-driven analysis to make data-driven decision making. The rise in computing power to handle these volumes and the access to data science tools have significantly resulted in predictive models development across all verticals. Building machine learning and AI models are cross-functional expertise. With one leg strongly rooted in business and the other in technology, Saarthee has built several revenue-generating models. Saarthee’s AI-based voice analytics capabilities range from AI-models thresholding and health monitoring to qualitative voice and quantitative analysis. Saarthee also has AI chat agent capabilities that when integrated into the Sales chat, can raise tNPS and make automated revenue-generating sales responses. The vision of the company is to make custom vertical and firmographic based model-generating portals for less tech-savvy and more business-savvy users. 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. Saarthee, as a company, is constantly looking to use analytical skills to make a zero-to-change in the outcomes. Analytics that receive these inputs from marketers and executives placed across various business segments is impactful. Saarthee puts a strong emphasis on client engagement to constantly receive these inputs and integrate it to solutions.

Training and Raising a like-minded team Integrating the vision of the company to produce scalable solutions and practises needs carefully setting up training modules to raise teams that can deliver the results as desired.
