Credit Card Default Rate

This is a project undertaken for a major global credit card company which faced with the issue of about 60% of the new credit cards issued and 57% of all credit cards issued are not used. The company was interested in a business analytic solution for identifying the factors that contribute to the use of the credit card so as to develop strategies to increase the credit card usage.

Judicial Impact Assessment

This is a project undertaken for the Supreme Court of India. The issues facing the Indian judicial system were: 1. There is no assessment of the resource costs associated with a new legislation, and 2. There is an inordinate delay in processing cases by the judicial system thereby implying justice delayed and justice denied. The Supreme Court of India had implemented digital recording of case monitoring along with case records. The project involved data and text mining of that digital record system to determine: 1. the factors that cause the delays and 2. to estimate the resource costs associated with different types of cases.
