In this episode, we talk with Akshay Kanade. He is a business analyst working in New York City who likes taking a big view of data, and has very interesting spiritual views on data analytics and life in general, he is also a handwriting expert- he can read people’s handwriting and can recognize a lot about their personalities.

In this interview we will cover several things such as: 
- How has been an analyst influenced Akshay's life? 
- Introspection about data and analytics
- Taking high level view of data - connecting deep learning with deep thinking
- People who don’t have background in analytics- how they can use their unique backgrounds for decisions 
- Power of consciousness and spirituality at work 
- Hand-writing analysis and whether it is a science or an art

It was a fascinating conversation, and I took a lot away talking with Akshay's view points. This interview is a must-listen if you deal with data and analytics in your work.
