Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath criticizes data scientists in a recent post, questioning the need for collecting and analyzing large amounts of data.
Kamath shares a screenshot of a blog that suggests data scientists often provide analysis that confirms senior management's prior beliefs, rather than uncovering insights.
The blog also states that data scientists are often praised for providing analysis that aligns with management's expectations, but criticized when their analysis contradicts those expectations.
"We have no data team at @zerodhaonline as we believe it doesn't give useful insights and also since we never upsell", Kamanth added.
