Greetings Everyone,
My name is Jayant and I am a Data Analyst with almost 6 years of experience across diverse industries including Banking, Ecommerce, and Supply Chain. Regarding my background, I have a graduate degree in Electrical Engineering followed by Mathematics. My primary focus in graduate studies was Linear as well as Nonlinear Optimization theory.
As an INFORMS member, I am looking forward to dive deeper in Operations Research(OR) and make a career in OR. Presently, I am learning the fundamentals from the book by Winston (has been mentioned above) and will build my knowledge upon it. I am hoping to learn about some excellent people here, and how they have navigated their career journeys in this area.
Fun fact - I like going on long trips by train, my longest is 48 hours. Trying to break this record.
Thank you

Hello Vinoth,
Welcome to INFORMS. If you have come for analytics and operation research, you are in the right place.
I too watch and play tennis, although I am probably a B player. Only watched cricket once.
