Mu Sigma

Mu Sigma, one of the world’s largest Decision Sciences and analytics firms, helps companies institutionalize data-driven decision making and harness Big Data

Analytics and data-driven decision making have been well recognized as a distinctive competitive advantage in a world of Big Data and increasing business complexity. However, organizations are challenged with scaling the use of analytics and making it an integral part of all business decisions. Mu Sigma addresses this critical need and enables organizations to institutionalize analytics and Decision Sciences in a sustainable manner.

We work with market leading organizations across multiple industry verticals solving high impact business problems in key horizontals such as Marketing, Risk and Supply Chain. We provide our clients with a holistic ecosystem of proprietary technology platforms, processes and people, which scales the use of our unique interdisciplinary approach to Decision Sciences. We believe that leveraging data effectively to enable Decision Support requires a combination of Data Engineering, Data Sciences and Decision Sciences. Data Engineering is the application of technology for collecting, storing, processing, transforming and structuring of data. Data Sciences refers to the application of math and technology to solve focused business problems with well-defined scopes. However, the dynamic nature of business requires Decision Sciences, an interdisciplinary approach of business, applied math, technology, design thinking and behavioural sciences, to solve constantly shifting and ill-defined business problems.

We help organizations traverse the journey from Data Engineering to Data Sciences and Decision Sciences thereby institutionalizing Decision Support.

We establish ongoing relationships with our clients in a white box and collaborative manner to create a better art for problem solving. Our integrated DIPP™ approach and close engagement with our clients empower them to not only scale the creation of analytics, but also facilitate the translation and consumption of insights to maximize ROI from analytics initiatives.

Our expertise and experience cut across multiple and disparate verticals such as CPG & Retail, BFSI, Pharma, Healthcare, Technology, Media and Telecom (TMT) and many more. We believe that in a world of blurring value-chain boundaries and continuous transformation, organizations can profit from cross industry / domain expertise. Over the years, we have leveraged this experience to enable innovation and convergence for our clients.

The Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva clans in Mu Sigma (much like the holy trinity) work in tandem to create the synergistic ecosystem of Mu Sigma

The three diverse personifications of cosmic forces namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva synergize to complete the universal cycle of creation, preservation and eventually, productive destruction or transformation. This concept of Trimurti is reflected in Mu Sigma's ecosystem where:

·    The Brahma clan: Creating the future

·    The Vishnu clan: Preserving or managing the present

·    The Shiva clan: Destroying or selectively abandoning the past
