About this ProjectResearch and Development (R&D): The Indian telecommunications sector is undergoing rapid transformation, with heightened competition among providers such as Airtel, Reliance Jio, Vodafone, and BSNL. In this dynamic environment, customer churn—the discontinuation of a subscriber’s services—poses a significant challenge to business sustainability. Accurately predicting churn and understanding the factors that influence customer retention are critical for telecom companies seeking to improve service quality, enhance customer satisfaction, and maintain market share. This study leverages two comprehensive datasets, telecom_demographics.csv and telecom_usage.csv, to analyze the interplay between customer demographics and service usage patterns in churn prediction. The demographic dataset includes attributes such as age, gender, state, city, salary, and registration history, while the usage dataset captures behavioral metrics including calls made, SMS sent, and data consumption. The target variable, churn, indicates whether a customer has discontinued services. By applying machine learning techniques to these datasets, this project aims to develop a predictive model that not only identifies customers at high risk of churn but also highlights the demographic and behavioral drivers influencing their decisions. The outcomes can support telecom providers in designing targeted retention strategies, optimizing customer engagement, and sustaining long-term business growth in a highly competitive market.

About this ProjectResearch and Development (R&D): Large-scale datasets are a valuable asset for generating business insights, yet their size often poses computational challenges, with predictive models requiring days to produce results. Efficient data storage and preprocessing strategies are therefore essential to enable scalable machine learning applications without sacrificing dataset richness. This project, conducted for Training Data Ltd., addresses the optimization of a large student dataset that will ultimately be used to predict job-seeking behavior. Using a representative subset (customer_train.csv), which contains anonymized information on student demographics, education, professional experience, and training history, the study explores data cleaning and efficient storage techniques as a proof-of-concept. The dataset includes features such as city development index, education level, major discipline, company size, and training hours, with the target variable (job_change) indicating whether a student is actively seeking new employment opportunities. By streamlining dataset storage and preparing the data for predictive modeling, this work lays the foundation for building scalable machine learning solutions that can accurately forecast job change tendencies. The outcomes are expected to help connect students with recruiters more effectively while significantly reducing computational overhead, enabling models to deliver business value within practical timeframes.

About this ProjectResearch and Development (R&D): The rising complexity and cost of healthcare highlight the need for data-driven strategies to enhance financial planning and service delivery in the insurance sector. Predictive analytics, empowered by machine learning, offers a valuable approach to forecasting healthcare expenses, enabling insurers to tailor services and assist customers in making informed decisions. This study focuses on developing a predictive model for healthcare costs using the insurance.csv dataset, which contains demographic, lifestyle, and health-related attributes of insurance beneficiaries. Key features include age, gender, body mass index (BMI), number of dependents, smoking status, and residential region, with individual medical charges serving as the target variable. After necessary preprocessing and cleaning, the dataset is used to train machine learning models capable of identifying patterns and estimating healthcare costs. Model performance is further evaluated using a validation dataset (validation_dataset.csv), which omits the cost variable to simulate real-world prediction scenarios. By leveraging predictive analytics, this work provides actionable insights for healthcare insurers, supporting personalized service offerings and proactive financial planning. The outcomes demonstrate the potential of machine learning to transform healthcare cost prediction, improving both customer experience and operational efficiency within the insurance industry.

About this ProjectResearch and Development (R&D): Cyber threats have emerged as a significant challenge for organizations worldwide, manifesting in diverse forms such as malware, phishing, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. These threats compromise sensitive information, disrupt critical operations, and continue to increase in both frequency and sophistication. Traditional detection mechanisms often struggle to adapt to evolving attack patterns, creating the need for more advanced and intelligent solutions. Deep learning models offer a promising approach by enabling the analysis of large-scale data and the identification of subtle, non-obvious patterns that human analysts might overlook. This study proposes the design and implementation of a deep learning model for cyber threat detection using the BETH dataset, which simulates real-world log events. The dataset includes features such as process identifiers, thread activity, user IDs, argument counts, and return values, with a binary label (sus_label) denoting whether an event is malicious or benign. By leveraging this dataset, the model aims to proactively detect suspicious activities and enhance threat mitigation strategies. The outcomes of this work contribute to strengthening organizational cybersecurity measures, ensuring the protection of sensitive data, and maintaining operational resilience against emerging cyber threats.
