Projects

Developed a marketing / roll-out strategy for Petplan  –                             
Petplan, a new pet insurance provider wanted to find new locations in North America where they can provide their services. Using statistical and data mining techniques on vetnary data for certain locations and US census data for each of these places, I formulated a model which can predict the profitable locations for Petplan to venture into. The model also provides information about the people who are more likely to buy the insurance policy and hence would be useful in Petplan’s advertising campaign.
