We’ll also reflect on the influence of Moneyball in bringing mathematical analysis into the spotlight.About Francisco: (in his words)I'm Francisco Avalos Jr. and I currently work in the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Network space as an analyst. I have a passion for data analysis--in all its facets. For example, I lend my free time to serve as a statistical consultant for Statistics Without Borders--a non profit organization of the American Statistical Association. Personally, I have a passion for the analytical side of most sports, with a key interest in basketball and baseball.

About Shivam and the Affordable Organic Store

Shivam has been working in the startup ecosystem for more than 7 years and started the Affordable Organic Store in 2020. Prior to starting this, he has also worked in multiple startups like Ather and Sid’s Farm, and has worked in multiple countries. 

At The Affordable Organic Store they are trying to help the balcony gardeners to do gardening at ease. Their products are customized to the needs of a small gardener with few pots in their balcony. Every product on their site is designed for a single pot starting from seeds to manure. They provide seeds sufficient for a pot so that there are no wastage and at the same time the cost comes down. They also sell plant sapling of exotic imported plants at almost 1/5th the cost of actual plant. By designing the products with a small gardener in mind, they have significantly reduced the costs and are almost 1/5th the cost of any other store. 

Their motto is to encourage more people to take up gardening by reducing the cost barrier. They have enabled more than 3 lakh gardeners in the past 5 years. They also do weekend forest plantation, where with the help of volunteers in Hyderabad they are planting forest in nearby areas. 

The company is bootstrapped and is driven by more than 80% women workforce. Their warehouse is entirely run by women team.
