Shantanu Kumar

Data Scientist, JP Morgan & Chase

Hello, my name is Shantanu Kumar. I am a dedicated and skilled Data Scientist with over five years of experience in the fields of machine learning, deep learning, and advanced analytics. I graduated from IIT Kharagpur. My professional journey began at Quantiphi Analytics, where I honed my skills in machine learning engineering, working on complex projects such as OCR for handwritten text detection and exploratory data analysis.

I then transitioned to Accenture AI, where I played a pivotal role in various projects, including retail analytics for a leading Southeast Asian company, intelligent revenue growth for a telecom firm in Dubai, and cross-selling insurance products for a PSU bank in India. My work involved developing customer lifetime value models, building value-based segmentation, and creating propensity models that significantly boosted target shopper engagement.

Currently, I am a Data Scientist Associate at J.P. Morgan Chase. Here, I have developed fraud risk mitigation strategies, optimized fraud rule performance tracking, and automated home lending loss forecasting model outputs. My efforts in these areas have resulted in substantial cost savings and process efficiencies for the company. I also lead training initiatives and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to drive seamless migrations and improve operational workflows.

I am passionate about leveraging data science to solve complex problems and drive business value. My technical expertise spans Python, PySpark, SAS, TensorFlow, Keras, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. I am always eager to take on new challenges that allow me to apply my skills and contribute to impactful projects.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places and playing sports, which help me stay balanced and energized. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my experience and skills to a new role where I can continue to grow professionally and make meaningful contributions.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
