In conversation with Dr. Soudip Roy Chowdhury, Co- Founder And CEO, Eugenie

Every company is currently investing in data analytics capabilities to keep up with known or unknown developments and competition. What are the services provided by Eugenie to the customers?
Only 12 percent of the Fortune 500 companies which existed in 1955 survived through 2017. This was due to their inability to adapt to the unknowns of the changing business landscape. Eugenie’s motto is to alert businesses of these unknowns using AI, engineering, and design. AI eliminates the human preferences from the data by enabling machines to see through the data to predict any unexpected business events that might occur in the future. Eugenie’s AI workbench includes a three-step framework to Spot, Explore, and Exploit irregularities from voluminous and real-time data. Eugenie is developed to act as a mirror of the businesses which is pure, factual, and reliable.

Eugenie’s predictive analytics capacity also helps businesses to predict and prepare for probable emergencies. By providing correct and timely alerts of probable failures, Eugenie allows businesses to take prompt actions that can save time and resources.

On the other hand, in Eugenie, we have the framework of “Spot-Explore-Exploit”, which not only discovers insights from the data but also explains why that insight is important and the root-causes behind it. This explainable AI helps business users to uncover the “why” and “how “parts of the insights.

Share a success story which that has allowed Eugenie to leave significant impact on the ways knowledge is extracted?
Eugenie helped a prominent fortune 100 consumer packaged goods company to transform its product marketing and distribution strategy. The CPG giant was struggling to utilize the available enormous data sets, which led to a lot of manual analysis. With root-cause analysis, Eugenie reduced the data-to-action time by more than 95 percent and also discovered hidden patterns in data. The director of the CPG Company acknowledged Eugenie’s contribution for extracting knowledge from the data to form a new way of organizational thinking.

Groundwater depletion is one of the major forces driving farmers to commit suicide and the scarcity of drinking water that impact the larger population. We will continue creating similar solutions that can build a better and safer world through technology.
