Show Notes

Kshira Saagar (the K is silent like in a Knight) is a lost-and-found guy who uses data to find answers that are lost in the digital and real world. He is currently the Senior Director of International Data & Analytics for DoorDash and has spent 26.1% of his life helping key decision-makers and leaders make smarter decisions using data, and believes that every organisation can become truly data-driven.

He has been consecutively recognised among the Top 10 Analytics Leaders in Australia, for 2019,2020 and 2021. At every place he has worked, working and will work - he likes to go back to the fundamentals, asking people to ask more questions of data and being a tough taskmaster on getting actionable outcomes from data, on all possible occasions. Outside work, Kshira spends a lot of time on advancing data literacy initiatives for high school and undergrad students.
