DecisionStats Investor presentation
DecisionStatsOne million data scientists by 2020give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetimeteach a person to code and they help you for a lifetime
DecisionStatsBringing coding to the massesBasic Assumptions:●You dont need to be good at English to write code in R, Python and SAS languages●Most training in these is in English●Many people get left behind because their English or formal language skills are not great
DecisionStatsBringing coding to the massesBasic Assumptions:●You dont need to be good at English to write code in R, Python and SAS languages●Most training in these is in English●Many people get left behind because their English or formal language skills are not great●Data Scientists will be in demand in future ●Education empowers people●People can be taught in Hinglish ( mix of Hindi and English) , Arabic, Chinese etc

DecisionStatsBringing coding to the massesBasic Assumption:●A mobile app (friendly UI),● videos, ●gamified platform ●custom pedagogy
can teach data science to 1 million students by 2020
DecisionStats VisionCreate 1000,000 hackers by 2020How? a mobile app (Android Platform), with gamified progress (better than CodeAcademy), videos (inspired Khan Academy) and content (open EDX) on platforms like
on courses like Big Data,
Data Science,
Network Securityin easy to understand languages like (Hindi , English, Telegu et al using Google Translate API and local staff)
Bootstrap the Startupclassroom school (CREATE content)bootcamps (CREATE first rung)
videos (VALIDATE content globally)apps (VALIDATE concept globally)
Mobile can be companion and as a big differentiator as a learning companion
Customization Content Engine
Create 80% fixed content20% content is customized based on data given by customerLike telecom case studies in churn analytics for telecom people and healthcare case studies for survival analysis for healthcare and propensity model for retail andcredit risk model for finance
Assumption- same mathematical technique but different business use case
Case studies can help engagement
Pool of potential customized content can be chosed by engine to increase enhance ment
Proof of Concept
lTake one contentlGamify itlPut in in a mobile interfacelTake feedbacklScalability right now in teaching- number of teachers are the bottlenecklHow much can I push content or teaching code on mobilelAnalytical Thinking can be pushed on mobile . Can coding be pushed on mobile?lWhat can be on mobile and what cant be?
Customizing in local content- Spanish Swahili Hindi Chinese
lLocalized captions by Google Translate APIlVoice overs by local language speakerslHow much gamification needs to be customizedlIs there an ecosystem for people not good in English but great in coding lHow much customization needs to be done
GamificationCan quizes, attendance and engagment be gamified for Points Badges Leaderboard
Stack Overflow model for Badges and Engagement
What can be gamified and what cant?
