11 00:04:40.300 ⇒ 00:04:44.830 Uttam Kumaran: Just wanted to make sure we’re prepped for… Element call today.
12 00:04:45.240 ⇒ 00:04:48.749 Uttam Kumaran: And then… There’s a couple of other…
13 00:04:48.940 ⇒ 00:04:52.379 Uttam Kumaran: I guess we can walk through just any other clients, so I can cover for…
14 00:04:52.860 ⇒ 00:04:57.480 Uttam Kumaran: Probably Urban Stems, and
15 00:04:58.290 ⇒ 00:05:03.069 Uttam Kumaran: what’s it called? Magic Spoon as well, we can take a look at that stuff, but yeah, let’s start with Element.
16 00:05:05.260 ⇒ 00:05:14.030 Awaish Kumar: For element, if I can maybe… Share my screen… Are you on mobile?
17 00:05:14.430 ⇒ 00:05:18.589 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I can see the… I can see, the deck, though, yeah.
18 00:05:19.700 ⇒ 00:05:24.840 Awaish Kumar: Actually, this is the agenda I want to set, like, for this week, like, I’m…
19 00:05:25.320 ⇒ 00:05:30.800 Awaish Kumar: I will be available for… Calls or something, but not actually…
20 00:05:31.040 ⇒ 00:05:35.480 Awaish Kumar: won’t be delivering much of stuff. Yeah. So I’ve kept it light.
21 00:05:37.090 ⇒ 00:05:42.280 Awaish Kumar: So, we will be reviewing Gantt chart. I have updated it with,
22 00:05:46.890 ⇒ 00:05:53.299 Awaish Kumar: With this thing, so… basically, on the ingestion part, we are almost done for Shopify. We charge
23 00:05:55.630 ⇒ 00:05:59.360 Awaish Kumar: And… yeah, wholesale data is basically Shopify.
24 00:05:59.520 ⇒ 00:06:10.649 Awaish Kumar: So we are basically done on that part. So what I’m… so what I’ve added here are some additional stuff. So we have some Emerson data to ingest.
25 00:06:12.380 ⇒ 00:06:15.850 Awaish Kumar: Like, we will be officially, kind of, starting…
26 00:06:16.000 ⇒ 00:06:18.560 Awaish Kumar: Like, with full force on 5Gen.
27 00:06:18.760 ⇒ 00:06:21.459 Awaish Kumar: So in that week, I’ve, I’ve,
28 00:06:22.280 ⇒ 00:06:25.839 Awaish Kumar: try to finish the ingestion part for immersion. Immerson is the.
29 00:06:25.840 ⇒ 00:06:26.410 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
30 00:06:26.660 ⇒ 00:06:30.850 Awaish Kumar: We will need help from them. Also, like, I…
31 00:06:31.330 ⇒ 00:06:39.089 Awaish Kumar: So we need immersion team also to, like, share it with our Snowflake account instead of what they are sharing it with now.
32 00:06:39.250 ⇒ 00:06:49.409 Awaish Kumar: And, for wholesale, we will need Google Sheets from Element. So, we have… orders data is coming… will be coming from Shopify
33 00:06:49.800 ⇒ 00:06:59.900 Awaish Kumar: source, which we already have. But then the customer data, like ERP stuff, which they have in Google Sheets, we will need that.
34 00:07:00.160 ⇒ 00:07:07.549 Awaish Kumar: To ingest it into our system, so we can basically have different customer kind of thing, which she was talking about.
35 00:07:07.720 ⇒ 00:07:15.739 Awaish Kumar: Okay. So in that week, yeah, this is also going to be interesting that week. Then we have where to go and Amazon.
36 00:07:16.020 ⇒ 00:07:17.839 Awaish Kumar: where to go, I have…
37 00:07:18.050 ⇒ 00:07:32.770 Awaish Kumar: said, like, the… like, the next week of January, and that’s because right now we don’t have a connector, so Polytomic will be building after 5 January. So they might deliver in that week, and in the next week we can start ingesting.
38 00:07:35.410 ⇒ 00:07:41.930 Awaish Kumar: And then, same for spins. For Amazon. Amazon, I don’t know, I have said we can do it in January, but…
39 00:07:42.130 ⇒ 00:07:46.699 Awaish Kumar: It will also depend on Polyatomic when they can finish building connectors. Okay.
40 00:07:46.920 ⇒ 00:07:54.109 Awaish Kumar: Same for spins. So, spins is a blocker also, like, we… last reply we have from Matt from Spins is that
41 00:07:54.300 ⇒ 00:07:59.100 Awaish Kumar: he’s still waiting to sign third-party docs or something, so…
42 00:07:59.100 ⇒ 00:08:03.789 Uttam Kumaran: The wholesale Google Sheets, is that something that we want to wait for?
43 00:08:06.550 ⇒ 00:08:14.129 Awaish Kumar: No, like, there, like, the Laura from Wholesale will share it with us, and we can just ingest.
44 00:08:15.410 ⇒ 00:08:21.309 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I guess, like, what… like, maybe in your, in the Google slide, we should put, like.
45 00:08:21.860 ⇒ 00:08:23.739 Uttam Kumaran: I want to tell Shivani, hey, like.
46 00:08:24.080 ⇒ 00:08:27.679 Uttam Kumaran: This is blocked by this person, here’s the action to take.
47 00:08:28.660 ⇒ 00:08:31.180 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I’m kind of willing that, like…
48 00:08:31.650 ⇒ 00:08:35.660 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly, for this. So, on this slide, I would just say add one,
49 00:08:36.919 ⇒ 00:08:44.730 Uttam Kumaran: you can add a column called action, maybe? Or, like, basically recommended action.
50 00:08:44.890 ⇒ 00:08:48.830 Uttam Kumaran: And then we can put, like, for Shopify, we just have to…
51 00:08:49.680 ⇒ 00:08:54.299 Uttam Kumaran: We have to request a fix from tech team.
52 00:08:54.490 ⇒ 00:08:59.760 Uttam Kumaran: For Emerson, we have to… we can draft a message for Jason to send to the Emerson folks.
53 00:08:59.890 ⇒ 00:09:03.119 Uttam Kumaran: So those are… that’s all I just want to put, like, what the recommendation is.
54 00:09:03.620 ⇒ 00:09:07.340 Awaish Kumar: Okay. Okay, I can do that.
55 00:09:09.150 ⇒ 00:09:11.879 Awaish Kumar: For spins, and then that’s all.
56 00:09:11.990 ⇒ 00:09:13.050 Uttam Kumaran: landed.
57 00:09:13.090 ⇒ 00:09:16.030 Awaish Kumar: After that, I added, the…
58 00:09:16.030 ⇒ 00:09:19.609 Uttam Kumaran: Wait, so for the Shopify data ingestion, you said it’s almost done, though, right?
59 00:09:20.830 ⇒ 00:09:25.330 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, so… this is the blocker, right? So, blocker is that…
60 00:09:25.560 ⇒ 00:09:33.299 Awaish Kumar: We ingested all the orders data, and we can do our modeling, but if they need refunds or payments data, like.
61 00:09:33.740 ⇒ 00:09:36.560 Awaish Kumar: Card infos, or things like that.
62 00:09:36.760 ⇒ 00:09:39.199 Awaish Kumar: That… like, we can’t do that, so…
63 00:09:39.550 ⇒ 00:09:42.350 Awaish Kumar: We can’t ingest that because of some permission issues.
64 00:09:43.230 ⇒ 00:09:43.950 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
65 00:09:44.200 ⇒ 00:09:57.790 Awaish Kumar: So it is not… those tables are not being ingested into our warehouse from Polytomic, because the access Polytomic has from current API key, or whatever token, they can’t access these endpoints.
66 00:09:57.960 ⇒ 00:10:00.140 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
67 00:10:00.640 ⇒ 00:10:02.500 Awaish Kumar: So, so…
68 00:10:02.500 ⇒ 00:10:11.889 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so on that, so on that, okay, so that’s just something we will just ask the tech team for. On the Gantt chart, though, can we drag? Because the Shopify is still going this week, right? So…
69 00:10:12.050 ⇒ 00:10:17.890 Uttam Kumaran: I feel like we should… Like, for example, the data warehouse
70 00:10:18.730 ⇒ 00:10:22.430 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, we should move the Shopify a wine.
71 00:10:23.000 ⇒ 00:10:25.870 Uttam Kumaran: To the point at which we started the ingestion, right?
72 00:10:27.860 ⇒ 00:10:30.050 Uttam Kumaran: We kicked off the ingestion last week.
73 00:10:31.180 ⇒ 00:10:31.540 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
74 00:10:31.540 ⇒ 00:10:32.520 Uttam Kumaran: See what I mean?
75 00:10:33.900 ⇒ 00:10:39.520 Awaish Kumar: Okay, I can see the dates, but I just marked it done, so… I thought that would be…
76 00:10:39.520 ⇒ 00:10:41.259 Uttam Kumaran: when I would put the first date
77 00:10:41.720 ⇒ 00:10:44.690 Uttam Kumaran: The date we actually did the… Hotel.
78 00:10:45.340 ⇒ 00:10:47.230 Uttam Kumaran: Which is, I think, 29th, maybe.
79 00:10:47.550 ⇒ 00:10:50.099 Uttam Kumaran: Or, er, no, no, no, the first date was…
80 00:10:50.980 ⇒ 00:10:52.000 Awaish Kumar: 22nd…
81 00:10:52.000 ⇒ 00:10:53.900 Uttam Kumaran: 22nd. 22nd, yeah.
82 00:10:54.380 ⇒ 00:10:54.980 Awaish Kumar: Agreed.
83 00:10:57.870 ⇒ 00:11:03.479 Uttam Kumaran: And then, same with the recharge, right? This recharge also started at 22nd, finished.
84 00:11:04.780 ⇒ 00:11:06.549 Uttam Kumaran: It’s finishing end of this week.
85 00:11:06.920 ⇒ 00:11:11.850 Uttam Kumaran: So both of those, you can just put, like, they… You know, 2 weeks.
86 00:11:13.130 ⇒ 00:11:15.820 Uttam Kumaran: And then Shopify may take another week for the blocker.
87 00:11:16.020 ⇒ 00:11:17.030 Uttam Kumaran: See what I mean?
88 00:11:19.450 ⇒ 00:11:20.660 Awaish Kumar: Sorry, which one?
89 00:11:20.880 ⇒ 00:11:22.800 Uttam Kumaran: Shopify will take 3 weeks.
90 00:11:23.070 ⇒ 00:11:30.350 Uttam Kumaran: I guess what I’m saying is the block, right, for Shopify data ingestion, that block is only the 10th until the 19th.
91 00:11:30.520 ⇒ 00:11:32.150 Uttam Kumaran: That’s not correct, right?
92 00:11:34.170 ⇒ 00:11:36.559 Uttam Kumaran: Like, look at line 21. 21.
93 00:11:37.160 ⇒ 00:11:40.009 Uttam Kumaran: Like, that block is not correct, right?
94 00:11:40.960 ⇒ 00:11:43.260 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I am trying to…
95 00:11:43.450 ⇒ 00:11:47.749 Awaish Kumar: select the 22nd, but I don’t know, it is not allowing me to do that.
96 00:11:49.170 ⇒ 00:11:52.400 Awaish Kumar: There is a dependency constraint for the selected dates.
97 00:11:52.400 ⇒ 00:11:56.429 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so it looks like it’s dependent on the data ingestion vendor.
98 00:11:56.780 ⇒ 00:11:59.420 Uttam Kumaran: Which we made a lot earlier, right?
99 00:12:00.210 ⇒ 00:12:02.460 Uttam Kumaran: Or you can remove that dependency.
100 00:12:04.870 ⇒ 00:12:05.480 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
101 00:12:06.020 ⇒ 00:12:08.779 Uttam Kumaran: You see what I’m saying? We decided on polyatomic.
102 00:12:09.400 ⇒ 00:12:14.790 Uttam Kumaran: After that, only, you can do the Shopify, right? So, that’s all I was trying to indicate.
103 00:12:18.310 ⇒ 00:12:18.980 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
104 00:12:19.930 ⇒ 00:12:21.200 Awaish Kumar: Yes.
105 00:12:21.200 ⇒ 00:12:23.880 Uttam Kumaran: So if you just want to move that one.
106 00:12:24.940 ⇒ 00:12:31.930 Uttam Kumaran: So the data ingestion vendor we made… see, right now we’re looking in January. We’re not even in January right now.
107 00:12:32.060 ⇒ 00:12:33.540 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s all I’m saying.
108 00:12:33.760 ⇒ 00:12:36.409 Uttam Kumaran: Like, move… everything needs to move back to the left.
109 00:12:36.870 ⇒ 00:12:38.400 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, yeah.
110 00:12:38.400 ⇒ 00:12:41.849 Uttam Kumaran: So, decision on data ingestion we made.
111 00:12:42.080 ⇒ 00:12:44.929 Uttam Kumaran: the Friday before 22nd, right?
112 00:12:45.230 ⇒ 00:12:48.180 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, or that week, that Monday.
113 00:12:49.400 ⇒ 00:12:51.730 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I can say 15 to 19.
114 00:12:52.510 ⇒ 00:12:53.500 Awaish Kumar: December.
115 00:12:53.890 ⇒ 00:12:57.089 Awaish Kumar: The week of… 15 December, and maybe we’ll.
116 00:12:57.090 ⇒ 00:12:59.420 Uttam Kumaran: No, but see, 18 is the blocker.
117 00:12:59.580 ⇒ 00:13:06.709 Uttam Kumaran: Line 18. See how that’s a dependency for Shopify? So this one, we need to move
118 00:13:06.880 ⇒ 00:13:10.650 Uttam Kumaran: So whenever we made the data ingestion decision, yeah.
119 00:13:11.110 ⇒ 00:13:14.090 Awaish Kumar: And then similarly, there’s the data warehouse.
120 00:13:14.790 ⇒ 00:13:16.409 Uttam Kumaran: Decision we made.
121 00:13:16.570 ⇒ 00:13:17.310 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
122 00:13:17.970 ⇒ 00:13:23.630 Awaish Kumar: Did a warehouse was… Kind of, like, data ingestion was in… in the second…
123 00:13:23.630 ⇒ 00:13:28.149 Uttam Kumaran: I think Data Warehouse was, like, the 17th or the 18th. I forgot when that meeting was.
124 00:13:29.120 ⇒ 00:13:29.540 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
125 00:13:31.770 ⇒ 00:13:34.070 Uttam Kumaran: I feel like it was… it was maybe Tuesday.
126 00:13:35.200 ⇒ 00:13:36.469 Uttam Kumaran: So the 16th.
127 00:13:39.910 ⇒ 00:13:40.670 Uttam Kumaran: Yep.
128 00:13:41.350 ⇒ 00:13:44.519 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. And then that way, we can move all this back.
129 00:13:45.960 ⇒ 00:13:46.670 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
130 00:13:48.900 ⇒ 00:13:52.249 Awaish Kumar: Okay, I will update the dates for these, I haven’t looked…
131 00:13:52.410 ⇒ 00:13:57.830 Awaish Kumar: Basically, I just marked them down, so I haven’t checked the dates. I updated these dates for.
132 00:13:57.830 ⇒ 00:14:03.550 Uttam Kumaran: But you see… you see what I… you see what I’m trying to say, right? So that’s… that’s just, like, we can move it all to, like.
133 00:14:03.860 ⇒ 00:14:12.429 Uttam Kumaran: Core ingestion started last week, and then go into next… end of next week, ideally, and then we will kick off the other couple ingestions. Okay, so we can move on.
134 00:14:13.760 ⇒ 00:14:19.469 Awaish Kumar: Okay, for injections, so all of this in January, and by…
135 00:14:20.860 ⇒ 00:14:28.409 Awaish Kumar: And by the end of January, we will be done with ingestion, ideally, if everyone involved
136 00:14:28.510 ⇒ 00:14:34.479 Awaish Kumar: it gives us the answers, like, springs, Emerson M, like, the polyatomic.
137 00:14:35.500 ⇒ 00:14:40.829 Awaish Kumar: And… And then we, in the, in the, like, the…
138 00:14:41.230 ⇒ 00:14:48.780 Awaish Kumar: In parallelily, we are working on modeling infrastructure, so also in the Jan… the week of 5th Jan.
139 00:14:49.160 ⇒ 00:14:55.690 Awaish Kumar: we already have dbt and stuff, but I just added… that week, we will be completing all CICT and stuff.
140 00:14:57.230 ⇒ 00:14:58.889 Awaish Kumar: I will be ready to use.
141 00:14:59.160 ⇒ 00:15:00.680 Awaish Kumar: And…
142 00:15:01.590 ⇒ 00:15:13.920 Awaish Kumar: And also, yeah, by the next week after that, we can start creating customer part for wholesale team, which includes Shopify data and their Google Sheets.
143 00:15:14.260 ⇒ 00:15:18.769 Awaish Kumar: And then the… like, this is all happening in the parallel…
144 00:15:18.950 ⇒ 00:15:22.680 Awaish Kumar: With the data ingestion. So then next, we can build a whole.
145 00:15:22.680 ⇒ 00:15:25.500 Uttam Kumaran: I feel like those may take… Longer.
146 00:15:26.290 ⇒ 00:15:27.470 Uttam Kumaran: What do you think?
147 00:15:28.540 ⇒ 00:15:43.750 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, but these are… that’s why I wrote wholesale in front of it, so that’s just the wholesale part. So, like, Shopify data, we might get sheets quickly, and we can maybe create in these… these into, like, the next two weeks.
148 00:15:43.750 ⇒ 00:15:52.240 Awaish Kumar: But I… I’m not saying, like, customer part as a whole, but then it involves all other sources, we might not ingest all of them, so…
149 00:15:52.240 ⇒ 00:15:52.800 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
150 00:15:53.060 ⇒ 00:16:06.060 Awaish Kumar: we will, like, chunk it, like, Sales Mart, but it is for wholesale. But then we create, like, similarly, like, fake orders for e-commerce, fake orders for retail, and then we can have one which
151 00:16:06.680 ⇒ 00:16:09.100 Awaish Kumar: Joins them all in one.
152 00:16:09.760 ⇒ 00:16:10.290 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
153 00:16:13.750 ⇒ 00:16:14.410 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
154 00:16:15.190 ⇒ 00:16:16.240 Awaish Kumar: So…
155 00:16:16.670 ⇒ 00:16:25.779 Awaish Kumar: that is, like, for wholesale team, at least, we will have, by the end of January, we can have Sales Mart, and the Customer Mart ready. Sales Mart is, like.
156 00:16:26.000 ⇒ 00:16:32.969 Awaish Kumar: effect order… tables, like, fact transactions, and orders, and maybe some summary table, and the customer mod.
157 00:16:33.070 ⇒ 00:16:38.430 Awaish Kumar: like, DIM customer and stuff, and then we can also start to work on BI evaluation in that.
158 00:16:39.270 ⇒ 00:16:40.100 Uttam Kumaran: reach…
159 00:16:40.370 ⇒ 00:16:43.879 Awaish Kumar: And by the end of January, we can have a decision on BI tool.
160 00:16:44.060 ⇒ 00:16:46.660 Awaish Kumar: And… and the setup, like, the…
161 00:16:47.230 ⇒ 00:16:49.390 Awaish Kumar: initial setup of that VI tool.
162 00:16:50.030 ⇒ 00:16:50.960 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.
163 00:16:53.410 ⇒ 00:16:59.200 Uttam Kumaran: So, on our side, we probably need to start looping one more person in next week, right?
164 00:16:59.910 ⇒ 00:17:00.850 Awaish Kumar: Yep.
165 00:17:01.750 ⇒ 00:17:03.999 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so we can’t talk about that.
166 00:17:04.730 ⇒ 00:17:07.450 Uttam Kumaran: On Monday.
167 00:17:07.770 ⇒ 00:17:10.710 Awaish Kumar: That, like, is the deliverables for…
168 00:17:11.220 ⇒ 00:17:12.809 Awaish Kumar: For the month of January looks.
169 00:17:13.000 ⇒ 00:17:15.920 Awaish Kumar: Look good, or enough to…
170 00:17:16.319 ⇒ 00:17:21.519 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, no, I think it looks good. I think it’s gonna be up to… I think in our discussions today, we should talk to her about…
171 00:17:21.859 ⇒ 00:17:26.669 Uttam Kumaran: Like, are there other short-term Wins that we want to accomplish.
172 00:17:26.879 ⇒ 00:17:29.489 Uttam Kumaran: For example, she wanted to start on this, like.
173 00:17:29.689 ⇒ 00:17:33.929 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, like, for example, the metrics dictionary, we should also finish by January.
174 00:17:35.540 ⇒ 00:17:36.800 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah.
175 00:17:37.060 ⇒ 00:17:42.939 Uttam Kumaran: So we should put some of those documentation-type tasks that I feel like may have been… yeah, so some of these…
176 00:17:43.540 ⇒ 00:17:45.670 Uttam Kumaran: We should just… Shit.
177 00:17:47.630 ⇒ 00:17:49.890 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, some of these we should try to finish.
178 00:17:54.430 ⇒ 00:18:00.680 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, but these are, like, ongoing. For metrics dictionary, we… We have some…
179 00:18:00.970 ⇒ 00:18:03.340 Awaish Kumar: Metrics, we can meet with some people.
180 00:18:03.520 ⇒ 00:18:05.419 Awaish Kumar: Finalized on farm laws.
181 00:18:05.900 ⇒ 00:18:11.619 Awaish Kumar: And continue to add, but, like, as we learn more about data, we can continue to evolve.
182 00:18:12.730 ⇒ 00:18:17.169 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I just think we wanna have… we wanna finish up, like, a first version of the metrics dictionary.
183 00:18:17.640 ⇒ 00:18:20.070 Uttam Kumaran: And then, like, at some point.
184 00:18:20.270 ⇒ 00:18:21.700 Uttam Kumaran: Within the next, like.
185 00:18:22.120 ⇒ 00:18:28.709 Uttam Kumaran: Like, I don’t know if we’re gonna need to go all the way to February to finish that, right? Up to… I don’t know. What do you think?
186 00:18:29.570 ⇒ 00:18:32.270 Awaish Kumar: No, we can’t do that in…
187 00:18:32.900 ⇒ 00:18:37.000 Awaish Kumar: in January, because I think she wanted, like.
188 00:18:37.150 ⇒ 00:18:41.019 Awaish Kumar: That one person, like, from finance or someone.
189 00:18:41.360 ⇒ 00:18:44.559 Awaish Kumar: needs to give us the formula.
190 00:18:44.560 ⇒ 00:18:45.570 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah.
191 00:18:45.880 ⇒ 00:18:46.310 Awaish Kumar: Right?
192 00:18:46.310 ⇒ 00:18:49.650 Uttam Kumaran: So we should plan a discovery call with him, actually.
193 00:18:52.540 ⇒ 00:19:04.199 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, otherwise, like, it is… if it is based on teams, we can have it by team by team. Like, with the wholesale team, we define their formulas, verify formulas from them, and work on those.
194 00:19:04.340 ⇒ 00:19:07.059 Awaish Kumar: But if she wanted, like, a centralized person.
195 00:19:07.390 ⇒ 00:19:11.410 Awaish Kumar: To define those formulas for everyone, then we should just meet him.
196 00:19:13.000 ⇒ 00:19:18.909 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, can you… I think we should put that in the slides today.
197 00:19:19.290 ⇒ 00:19:22.279 Awaish Kumar: I have this agenda, this could be meetings.
198 00:19:22.860 ⇒ 00:19:25.399 Awaish Kumar: I can just add… The name…
199 00:19:25.400 ⇒ 00:19:31.350 Uttam Kumaran: Well, let’s… let’s put… yeah, I mean, I just want to put, like, open… like, also put some topics for us to discuss, right? So…
200 00:19:32.010 ⇒ 00:19:36.019 Uttam Kumaran: I think we do need to discuss, like, where… where do we want to land?
201 00:19:36.180 ⇒ 00:19:43.140 Uttam Kumaran: by the end of January, like, are we comfortable? And then the second thing is, we do need to have a discovery call with the finance folks.
202 00:19:43.380 ⇒ 00:19:44.490 Uttam Kumaran: Primarily.
203 00:19:46.170 ⇒ 00:19:54.770 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, so… Basically, we… this is the blocker that we can initially discuss, then I… I have this,
204 00:19:55.920 ⇒ 00:19:59.770 Awaish Kumar: slide, where we are in… what we are going to accomplish in January.
205 00:20:00.010 ⇒ 00:20:00.390 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
206 00:20:00.680 ⇒ 00:20:12.699 Awaish Kumar: I will, like, put in whatever we have discussed, and then we can ask her if she wants us to add anything new. Then we have discovery calls. I can add finance, marketing…
207 00:20:13.080 ⇒ 00:20:18.410 Awaish Kumar: And wholesale team, because we want to do something for them. These three things…
208 00:20:18.930 ⇒ 00:20:19.560 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
209 00:20:19.710 ⇒ 00:20:21.690 Awaish Kumar: Beautiful.
210 00:20:21.990 ⇒ 00:20:29.869 Uttam Kumaran: And then, the other thing is, like, I think we should start… you should… we should probably start hosting, like, a bi-weekly meeting with the tech team.
211 00:20:30.170 ⇒ 00:20:33.080 Uttam Kumaran: To give them, like, technical updates on everything.
212 00:20:33.680 ⇒ 00:20:35.999 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s another thing I want to propose.
213 00:20:36.730 ⇒ 00:20:37.170 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
214 00:20:37.210 ⇒ 00:20:40.590 Uttam Kumaran: So that’ll be with Jason.
215 00:20:41.120 ⇒ 00:20:43.520 Uttam Kumaran: Steve and, the other guy.
216 00:20:45.120 ⇒ 00:20:45.780 Awaish Kumar: Andy.
217 00:20:46.550 ⇒ 00:20:50.319 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I wanna, like, propose that we run that every 2 weeks.
218 00:20:51.220 ⇒ 00:20:54.100 Uttam Kumaran: To keep them in the loop on all the stuff we’re delivering.
219 00:20:55.080 ⇒ 00:21:01.429 Awaish Kumar: So… Could that be the… Can I add it at the bottom of this, Laura?
220 00:21:02.050 ⇒ 00:21:06.649 Uttam Kumaran: Well, I would just add, like, can we… can we create a slide just for discussion topics?
221 00:21:08.680 ⇒ 00:21:18.239 Uttam Kumaran: Like, we don’t need to have one on discovery calls, like, let’s just do one that’s discovery top… that’s discussion topics, and I just want to make sure we’re gonna talk about everything today.
222 00:21:27.070 ⇒ 00:21:32.670 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so… This, and, deliverables…
223 00:21:36.850 ⇒ 00:21:41.340 Awaish Kumar: And then we have this, right? Do we need… do you want me to remove this?
224 00:21:42.670 ⇒ 00:21:52.570 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I don’t… you don’t need to have this slide, you can just put it all in one slide, but, like, let’s just list all the discussion topics really quickly before we lose them. So, we have the…
225 00:21:52.900 ⇒ 00:21:56.590 Uttam Kumaran: Like, yeah, we… what were all the things, so…
226 00:21:56.830 ⇒ 00:22:00.419 Uttam Kumaran: We wanted to talk about the bi-weekly tech team meeting.
227 00:22:00.560 ⇒ 00:22:06.459 Uttam Kumaran: wanted to talk about what are the January deliverables, like, are we comfortable with the January deliverables?
228 00:22:07.260 ⇒ 00:22:12.290 Uttam Kumaran: We wanted to discuss a discovery call with finance team.
229 00:22:13.320 ⇒ 00:22:18.150 Uttam Kumaran: And then… you proposed 2 other discovery calls, so let’s just list everything here.
230 00:22:43.620 ⇒ 00:22:44.790 Awaish Kumar: Yep.
231 00:22:44.940 ⇒ 00:22:45.929 Awaish Kumar: What else?
232 00:22:50.390 ⇒ 00:22:55.409 Uttam Kumaran: I guess, like, she’s gonna ask why we want to do another discovery call with those teams.
233 00:22:56.500 ⇒ 00:23:03.950 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, right, so we only are doing another one with wholesale, because we want to… create… March and stuff.
234 00:23:05.510 ⇒ 00:23:15.320 Awaish Kumar: Like, we want to create mods for them, and so we just want to… Like, discuss the…
235 00:23:15.920 ⇒ 00:23:19.940 Awaish Kumar: like, the data which is coming from Shopify.
236 00:23:20.650 ⇒ 00:23:26.570 Awaish Kumar: And, like, look at… in deep… look deeper into the sheets they’re using.
237 00:23:27.270 ⇒ 00:23:28.080 Awaish Kumar: And…
238 00:23:29.080 ⇒ 00:23:29.430 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
239 00:23:29.430 ⇒ 00:23:35.639 Awaish Kumar: Last time, it was more just, like, top-level talks. Instead, now it’s more into the sheets, and…
240 00:23:35.770 ⇒ 00:23:38.530 Awaish Kumar: What exact fields they have, and we can…
241 00:23:38.840 ⇒ 00:23:43.959 Awaish Kumar: How we can bring in, and what kind of reports, maybe they want to see in.
242 00:23:43.960 ⇒ 00:23:49.429 Uttam Kumaran: So then let’s make that clear for that, and similarly with marketing, I feel like we already…
243 00:23:50.130 ⇒ 00:23:54.650 Uttam Kumaran: like, we already talked to the e… like, those are the e-com folks, right? So…
244 00:23:55.870 ⇒ 00:24:01.019 Awaish Kumar: It doesn’t e-com, but… Like, I don’t know if they have separate marketing team or not.
245 00:24:03.630 ⇒ 00:24:04.500 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay.
246 00:24:04.500 ⇒ 00:24:06.529 Awaish Kumar: in the…
247 00:24:06.530 ⇒ 00:24:13.620 Uttam Kumaran: I see what you mean. I think she told us to just… yeah, so, okay, okay, I hear you. Yeah, we didn’t talk… we haven’t talked to the marketing team, actually. You’re right.
248 00:24:14.290 ⇒ 00:24:20.029 Uttam Kumaran: So, for the first one, you can mention that, like, hey, we’re… by… by mid-Jan.
249 00:24:20.290 ⇒ 00:24:24.970 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, we’re gonna have the warehouse… the wholesale data, and so…
250 00:24:25.220 ⇒ 00:24:29.429 Uttam Kumaran: We just want to book a meeting so that we can chat about the early deliverables.
251 00:24:30.710 ⇒ 00:24:32.849 Uttam Kumaran: Marketing and finance are net new.
252 00:25:17.020 ⇒ 00:25:19.959 Awaish Kumar: Okay, is there anything else in the discussion topics?
253 00:25:22.990 ⇒ 00:25:30.950 Uttam Kumaran: I think that’s probably… That’s probably it, right? What else?
254 00:25:31.490 ⇒ 00:25:38.610 Awaish Kumar: Okay, you had a question, like… Are we comfortable with January… Deliberables.
255 00:25:38.980 ⇒ 00:25:43.730 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I want to put that. The other thing is we should prioritize doing some type of…
256 00:25:44.340 ⇒ 00:25:46.569 Uttam Kumaran: I guess when we do the VI tool.
257 00:25:47.290 ⇒ 00:25:51.640 Uttam Kumaran: We should also do, like, a… some more AI testing.
258 00:25:52.120 ⇒ 00:25:54.810 Uttam Kumaran: So I think we’ll test Omni AI, right?
259 00:25:55.120 ⇒ 00:25:56.310 Awaish Kumar: Yes.
260 00:25:57.770 ⇒ 00:26:03.250 Uttam Kumaran: That’s our, like, basically our… That’s our chosen…
261 00:26:03.870 ⇒ 00:26:06.229 Uttam Kumaran: thing, right? We haven’t… we haven’t found another one.
262 00:26:10.130 ⇒ 00:26:16.830 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, we need to just have a kind of similar assessment doc, and then discussion, and… recommend no.
263 00:26:16.830 ⇒ 00:26:20.259 Uttam Kumaran: Well, we already did it, like, Casey already did an assessment, right? So…
264 00:26:21.090 ⇒ 00:26:21.530 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
265 00:26:21.530 ⇒ 00:26:24.030 Uttam Kumaran: But I guess at that point, we can do one, yeah.
266 00:26:32.130 ⇒ 00:26:34.549 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, but, like, we just discussed the…
267 00:26:35.180 ⇒ 00:26:38.419 Awaish Kumar: compare the AI tools. Now we have to just show them, like.
268 00:26:38.840 ⇒ 00:26:44.419 Awaish Kumar: This is the best in terms of reports, in terms of AI and all, and how… Okay, okay.
269 00:26:48.150 ⇒ 00:26:48.820 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
270 00:26:54.550 ⇒ 00:26:55.170 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
271 00:26:59.580 ⇒ 00:27:03.740 Awaish Kumar: I will just fill in this slide and the action field.
272 00:27:03.920 ⇒ 00:27:05.000 Awaish Kumar: Column here.
273 00:27:05.410 ⇒ 00:27:06.170 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
274 00:27:06.380 ⇒ 00:27:07.400 Awaish Kumar: That song.
275 00:27:08.630 ⇒ 00:27:11.169 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I guess send it to me when you’re,
276 00:27:11.640 ⇒ 00:27:14.589 Uttam Kumaran: Send it to me when it’s ready, and I can take a look at it before the meetings.
277 00:27:15.210 ⇒ 00:27:15.880 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
278 00:27:17.810 ⇒ 00:27:22.260 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, and then I’m gonna take a look at this urban stems issue this morning.
279 00:27:24.010 ⇒ 00:27:24.740 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
280 00:27:25.450 ⇒ 00:27:28.810 Uttam Kumaran: And then I’ll also,
281 00:27:29.430 ⇒ 00:27:31.499 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll also take a look at the…
282 00:27:32.190 ⇒ 00:27:34.160 Uttam Kumaran: things that Magic Spoon sent.
283 00:27:35.470 ⇒ 00:27:38.350 Uttam Kumaran: Prefect and stuff, but maybe…
284 00:27:39.140 ⇒ 00:27:42.120 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. They just send the repos, right? We don’t have to…
285 00:27:43.090 ⇒ 00:27:50.310 Uttam Kumaran: No, but it’s clear that Ashwini is, like, confused, so I don’t want him to keep asking questions about Prefect. Like…
286 00:27:50.490 ⇒ 00:27:53.350 Uttam Kumaran: I wanna just tell them what it is, what’s in there, what to do.
287 00:27:54.300 ⇒ 00:27:54.980 Uttam Kumaran: You know.
288 00:27:54.980 ⇒ 00:27:55.250 Awaish Kumar: Oh.
289 00:27:58.010 ⇒ 00:28:02.010 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I just want to close that one out.
290 00:28:06.220 ⇒ 00:28:09.380 Uttam Kumaran: Anything else?
291 00:28:11.790 ⇒ 00:28:14.639 Awaish Kumar: I don’t think so, like, I…
292 00:28:15.140 ⇒ 00:28:16.310 Uttam Kumaran: Talk to…
293 00:28:16.310 ⇒ 00:28:20.430 Awaish Kumar: like, we had a meet… I had a meeting last Tuesday with Sandra.
294 00:28:21.000 ⇒ 00:28:24.839 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great. You say we can have a touchpoint on Friday, like, 2nd?
295 00:28:25.430 ⇒ 00:28:31.350 Awaish Kumar: Okay. And, then, yeah, we can discuss what to work on next, on Friday.
296 00:28:31.350 ⇒ 00:28:31.960 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
297 00:28:32.350 ⇒ 00:28:39.539 Uttam Kumaran: And then… Later today, I should have, the January plan for you?
298 00:28:40.160 ⇒ 00:28:47.170 Uttam Kumaran: Did you happen to take… you happened to read that, the CSO… Yeah.
299 00:28:47.410 ⇒ 00:28:48.559 Uttam Kumaran: What did you think?
300 00:28:49.900 ⇒ 00:28:51.480 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, like, in…

302 00:28:56.750 ⇒ 00:28:58.979 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe… I don’t know if you’re… are you…
303 00:28:59.330 ⇒ 00:29:05.649 Uttam Kumaran: Do you think you’ll even have, like, 30 minutes after the Element call, maybe, or something? I just want to get your feedback on some stuff. We did…
304 00:29:05.820 ⇒ 00:29:12.449 Uttam Kumaran: We basically used that and did assignments and everything for Q1, so I want to show you and get your feedback.
305 00:29:13.800 ⇒ 00:29:16.349 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, we can meet off the call.
306 00:29:16.820 ⇒ 00:29:21.800 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay, okay. All right, then let’s, like, let’s knock out the call, and then we can talk about that stuff after.
307 00:29:22.260 ⇒ 00:29:23.300 Awaish Kumar: Okay, thanks.
