CL Educate Ltd has been organizing Data Science AI Retreats (DSAIRe) for the last 8 years across India, MENA region, South-East Asia and Africa, facilitating immersion of the CXOs from every industry and vertical that impacts the economies of the nations, as much as the living standards and health of ordinary population.

In the last one year, we have conducted three DSAIRes in Africa, and the fourth one is scheduled for Dec 6-7 in Nairobi in partnership with Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM), and it will be facilitated by authorities in Data Science from IIT Madras, one of the top tech institutions of the world whose alums are heading world’s best tech companies – including Microsoft, Alphabet, Adobe etc, along with ZINDI, a platform for data scientists.

The purpose of the DSAIRe is to initiate the transformational journey of the every organization to dive deep into data that they have or can have, to analyze the trends, choices to give insights to make decisions that were impossible a few years ago, as today, unlike any time in the past, with vast majority using mobile phones and apps on them, is generating humongous data and depositing into your database.

Are you aware of,

• Every data at your disposal?
• Of all data points and sources of data in your organization?
• The volume, velocity and veracity of the data that is flowing in and through your org?
• How clean is your data?
• how you are using the data that is flowing?
• What more ways you could put the data to use?
• The tools and techniques to analyze the data for quick, deep, impactful decisions?
• How your manufacturing company or organization can be taken to leadership position using data?
• ……etc

The DSAIRes help you to immerse in understanding the world of data science, AI, Analytics and Machine learning, to help you find solutions to all your challenges by understanding all the above listed dimensions.

I have been reading extensively and also writing articles about how Data Science and AI is going to impact a variety of industries, and also common man alike. My endeavor in this article is to create one single article, so that at one place we will have links to all articles of significance, and sharing this one article could help every CXO from every industry, to pick articles of interest to him or her, and deep dive. I will start with a Case study of transformation.

An Impact of DSAIRe – A Case study of transformation of a health care group that attended DSAIRe in the past.

It gives me immense pleasure to share the case study of the Healthcare Group in Kenya , that has started transforming the entire group using Data Science and AI tools and techniques. A team of key officials were nominated by the Chairman of the group, Mr Jayesh Saini , for the Data Science AI Retreat conducted in March in Nairobi, Kenya, by CL Educate Ltd, anchored by Prof Raghu of IIT Madras, that has a campus in Zanzibar and Zindi which brought in data scientists talking about various case studies of AI driven solutions being executed in Africa.

This case study talks about how the team of Healthcare group that was part of the DSAIRe, has managed to take the learnings, and ideas ignited by case studies covered during the DSAIRe, to incorporate the Data Science and AI Tools within the Healthcare Group in the last 10 months with the help of the Technology team, to start bringing the transformation to realize their vision of “making Quality healthcare affordable”.
