Data scientist Devleena Bhattacharjee and software engineer Nandhini Karthikeyan wanted to use data analysis to help solve real-world problems. Their startup Numer8 is helping the fishing community work smarter as well as deal with climate change
Devleena Bhattacharjee got interested in the way data science could help fishing communities when she was working on a project as part of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Copernicus Master’s programme in December 2018.
Earlier that year she had started data analytics firm Numer8 which offered data science analytics to companies ranging from media firms to restaurants to help them understand customer behaviour patterns, their spends etc.
