Shishir Bashyal - AI Strategy

Los Angeles, CA

Looking for expert advice on adopting AI at your organization? Or need help staying ahead in AI by understanding how it changes the world we live in? I would love to speak with you.

I am not a newly minted AI expert, I published my first research paper back in 2005. And I have been practising AI ever since.

I am currently the founder and CEO of Proma.ai and have 20+ years of experience helping businesses improve products, processes and achieve growth using data science, AI, and machine learning. I have lead AI initiatives to solve problems in operations, marketing, e-commerce, SaaS among others.

Reviews from previous Clarity call requesters testify that they got more than they hoped for in topics related to business applications of AI, GenAI, LLM, and Machine learning. If you schedule a call with me and are not satisfied, I will happily refund the full amount.

Call me to talk about

Data Science for Businesses

Data Science consultation based on years of experience. Use data to establish your business as an industry leader. Advice and implementation details on using data to help you achieve growth by attracting and engaging customers, improve products and processes and identify opportunities otherwise unclear.

I do these calls because applied data science is my passion.

How to Be a Data Scientist

Data Science will continue to be a rewarding career for at atleast another decade. Having selected data science as a career path well before data science became the mainstream, I can help you create a plan to become a data scientist whether you are just about to start a career path or planning to switch career to data science.

Los Angeles Data Scientist

I am a Los Angeles based Data Scientist. If you have a Data Science related problem that you would like to discuss, I would love to talk.

A/B Testing ( a B Testing ) Content Optimization

Getting traffic and leads for your business is a difficult task and organizations spend a lot of effort and money in doing so. However, a lot many of them fail to improve their processes to convert traffic and leads into sales. If you are looking to improve your current conversion funnel (emails, landing pages, website content) using A/B testing, I would love to talk to you.

Curious why I have (A B Testing) in the title?

Applied AI for Teams and Organizations

Breakthroughs in LLMs have enabled amazing new applications of AI for businesses of all sizes. Given the fast pace of these developments, it is near impossible for AI outsiders to keep up with the developments and come up with up-to-date strategies for AI adoption.

If you are considering or preparing for the adoption of AI in your organization, I would like to chat with you.

What are the best traits to look for in a data scientist/data analyst?

Knowledge (of algorithms, statistics, fundamental principles), Creativity (in solving problems) and Experience (in wrangling data, writing code). Different people different combinations of these so you will have to trade-off.

Can you use Twillio as a smart routing business phone solution?

Yes, exactly what Twilio is capable of. If you need it for just your business, this can be done using simple scripts. Routing is actually the easy part. Voicemails are a bit more involved but they have you covered: https://www.twilio.com/docs/howto/voicemail

How do founders find the right investors when it comes time to find investment?

This has been discussed many times before and rather than repeating a lot of those things here, I will direct you to one of the best resources on this topic.

Clarity CEO Dan Martel recently released a video "Raising Capital Like a Pro" that covers most things you need to know about fund raising. Here is the link: http://youtu.be/7dew9hhWBB4

We are looking for a software solution that can help us track associates sales for a referral program .

Have you thought about handing out coupons to these partners with unique Coupon Codes for each partner? While your barcode idea is similar, the coupon could motivate prospective customers to value the referral even more.

I'm starting a new startup with a cofounder. Do I need to also create a shareholders agreement or is a company constitution enough?

If you are just getting started, you need to get the founders agreement signed. Here is a sample template: https://www.docracy.com/6348/founders-agreement-template

If you are incorporating your company, I strongly suggest you review this write up: http://startuplawyer.com/startup-issues/if-i-launched-a-startup

What is the best tool to visualize different types of data? I have all the info on my website but need a nice tool to visualize it.

I see two important players missing in the answers already provided so I wanted to add them here.

If you are planing to embed charts in your website and are fairly comfortable with programming, consider d3.js which is a very versatile visualization tool.

If you need to analyze data and create interactive dashboard to visualize the data that you have using minimum programming, consider Tableau which has both server and desktop editions.

A super niche product on Kickstarter: http://kck.st/1Cg64at - how'd you get free traffic & growhack strategies? Few big media gave up on us last min.

The product looks interesting. Have you tried posting it to gaming forums? Reddit? If not, I would start there.

I would suggest you to reach out to bloggers that cover gaming and technology.

One thing I noted is that your entry level backing starts at $45. It helps to have lower level backing so that your campaign trends higher in Kickstarter.

How can I assess the value of my data assets?

If I understood it correctly, you certainly have collected some useful data that can be valuable.

Organizations like Kelly Blue Book, J.D. Power and Associates and Consumer Reports are possible buyers.

Another thing that comes to mind is creating a consumer website where prospective car buyers can research which make and model are better from the cost of ownership perspective.

Same applies to people looking to buy new tires. Moneyball for tires?

Do you know an AI firm that can help build a machine learning tool or Photoshop script to automate the graphic design process in my business?

This is an interesting but open ended question. It would depend on what kind of graphic designs the AI has to automate.

I am interested to learn more!
