Data tells its own story- seldom does the story align with what the organizations want to hear. Data puts forth a trend and a pattern that we need to extract from the number marquee. Taking on this data deluge is Affine Analytics, a provider of high-end analytics services, who is creating verticalized big data analytics applications that will accelerate the delivery of solutions and save upto 60 percent in delivery time while increasing the solution accuracy for their customers. The company offers analytics solutions to a diverse set of functions for retail, e-Commerce, banking and telecom sector.

As a technology forward organization, we are constantly investing and upgrading the skills to be able to support the ever growing complexities of our clients businesses,” says ManasAgrawal, Co-Founder & CEO, Affine Analytics.

A strong understanding of business, the ability to translate the data based on the requirements and a team with a mix of seasoned professionals who are able to add strong dynamics to data to provide hands-on support to Affine over other players in the space. Believing firmly that unstructured data endows more information than structured data, the company has made two strategic developments – investments into big data and development of two productized service offerings that they will release shortly for telecom and e-Commerce.

They plan to infuse additional revenue through funding to bring in a number of disruptive analytics applications to serve the market.
