Responsibilities:

Data has become the new currency in the modern day businesses and we are seeing the emergence of new businesses solely built on data. Organizations world over are realizing the potential that their in-house data holds and are increasingly using it in quite creative ways to unlock hidden opportunities. “Data drives decisions” is one of Myntra’s core value and is a reflection of how dearly we value data in taking decisions across the organization.

Why is data challenging and how would I contribute?

There are two fundamental challenges that need to be dealt with. Quantity being the primary issues wherein more and more data is getting created on a daily basis and quality being the other.
