INDUSTRIAL VISIT

-
On the 17th of May 2022, the students of fourth semester BSc (Data Science), CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune Lavasa Campus travelled to Pune for an industrial visit to Xoriant Solutions Pvt Ltd Xoriant was founded in the 1990s by an IIT Bombay graduate, Mr Girish Gaitonde.


Mr Akash, Mr Sudeep, Mr Dhawal, and Mr Sameer were all kind enough to walk us through the way of life in Xoriant. Mr Akash welcomed the group of 32 students along with two professors, Mr Libin Chacko Samuel and Dr Lija Jacob, and the Placement Officer Mrs Irudaya to their facility. Further on Mr Sameer addressed the students. He discussed the foundations of Xoriant, the yet evolving nature of Data Science, and encouraged the students to practice projects on the platform of Kaggle, explaining how it would provide the students with some competitive advantage. Mr Sameer informed them about the projects that Xoriant professionals have worked on, branching from Automation Solutions for smart mattress manufacturers, farm boundary detection, NLP in healthcare cuto extract to SAP ARIBA procurement software and legal transcriptions and many more that Xoriant has planned to take over. Throughout his presentation, Mr Sameer opened grounds for questions and discussions and the students actively participated. Important queries about the field of Data Science in the healthcare industry, privacy policies, and costing methodologies were answered. He mentioned how there exist two types of data scientists, one that works without features, professional data experts and one those have domain-specific expertise which reinforced the students to think about their own paths in the future.


The session concluded with a vote of thanks by one of Christ’s own, Ms Arundhati Kolahal. She, on behalf of the entire class and professors, devoted her appreciation for their hospitality. The students were provided with refreshments and allowed a break before a fun session began.

Mr Sudeep hosted a fun session of games for the students. Students participated in the game of blindfold and connection. Lastly, the students had the opportunity to get a peek into the way of corporate life, departments, and after COVID scenarios. The office was beautifully furnished and notes of encouragement spread across the walls. We visited the many departments, cubicles, break-rooms, and the cafeteria. Post lunch, the ride back to Lavasa was filled with joyous kids enjoying a short drive, and singing along to the music.

The students are grateful for this industrial visit, it has motivated them to work hard and cherish the student life whilst preparing for what their future withholds earnestly.
