Do flipkart has best work in analytics and data science

Please answer with your views on quality of work, pay, work culture, security & work-life balance

Talking to my nephew nowadays seems like the AI bug has gotten to him. Even going back during the early parts of my own career and even undergrad, ML and stats was still a fledgling field. Most of the smart folks went into SDE roles at top tech. I still remember that even back then, hiring for roles like these were extremely theoretical. You would test even experienced candidates with undergrad topics which was slightly outdated tbh because most of the functions were abstracted away and it is obvious that you would not remember the matrix approach to finding weights for a simple linear regression model. Has this changed now? Because I don't think interviews like that actually evaluate the accumulated wisdom that experienced professionals bring to the table. I mean it is generally a waste of time for anyone to brush up manual derivations or remember SQL niche intricacies. Usually it is better to test for the 80% knowledge that is actually useful on a day to day basis. I mean if the main things that companies test in experienced candidates is something that can be rote-memorized from a book then they are not testing the right things no? What do you all think? Just wondering about this for some time now especially considering the hype around AI?

I was working as head of data and analytics in Zepto , Swiggy , flipkart now is razorpay. I felt work is of very poorly quality in most Indian startup , no idea of kpi, useless machine learning model , no investment in infrastructure. I think no point in joining any Indian startup as very few founder value data Now I have worked in Walmart and Citibank , core strategic decisions happens in USA and headquarters so Indian office is only pleasing the hq with support work Now analytics service like tiger fractal again work is to do sales bring any work and add to top line Witch company even more shit show So I am delusional and thinking of quitting the data and analytics field or build something of my own Data and Ai in India is just to show off and get investor money and load the pnl without return

Name some startups which are really good- solving tough problems for India, good workplace policy and perks, founders aren’t d, and have good policies to support employees building our startups (sabbatical policies, financial support etc)
