##Perks for submitting proposals:
Submitting a proposal, especially with our process, is hard work. We appreciate your effort.
We offer one conference ticket at discounted price to each proposer, and a t-shirt.
We only accept one speaker per talk. This is non-negotiable. Workshops may have more than one instructor.
In case of proposals where more than one person has been mentioned as collaborator, we offer the discounted ticket and t-shirt only to the person with who the editorial team corresponded directly during the evaluation process.
##Format:
The Fifth Elephant is a two-day conference with two tracks on each day. Track details will be announced with a draft schedule in February 2018.
We are accepting sessions with the following formats:

Our editorial team helps potential speakers in honing their speaking skills, fine tuning and rehearsing content at least twice - before the main conference - and sharpening the focus of talks.
##How to submit a proposal (and increase your chances of getting selected):
The following guidelines will help you in submitting a proposal:
To summarize, we do not accept talks that gloss over details or try to deliver high-level knowledge without covering depth. Talks have to be backed with real insights and experiences for the content to be useful to participants.
##Passes and honorarium for speakers:
We pay an honorarium of Rs. 3,000 to each speaker and workshop instructor at the end of their talk/workshop. Confirmed speakers and instructors also get a pass to the conference and networking dinner. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses.
##Travel grants for outstation speakers:
Travel grants are available for international and domestic speakers. We evaluate each case on its merits, giving preference to women, people of non-binary gender, and Africans. If you require a grant, request it when you submit your proposal in the field where you add your location. The Fifth Elephant is funded through ticket purchases and sponsorships; travel grant budgets vary.
##Last date for submitting proposals is: 31 March 2018.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:

With the online data trail that customer leaves behind. PSPs are leveraging this to understand the ability and intent of these customers to repay back a loan. Who may not even have a bank account and most likely come from tier 2/3 towns in developing countries such as India. This talk is about the ML and data engineering that was put together to provide instant short term credit to millions of consumers(25-50M in India). Later on this product was also launched in 18 other countries such as Brazil, Russia, Columbia, Poland etc adding another 50M consumers. The process involved digital transformation of a PSP by moving from on premises Colo based DC to AWS(Mumbai) and building the best of breed FinTech Architecture that saw two spikes in an year. 1st was the M&A of 2 PSPs resulting in multiple fold increase in traffic(1B + 2.5B TRX/month) and second was the demonetization in India that lead to several (X single digit) times traffic post Nov 8, 2016. An architecture that is able to handle unprecedented scale in a short duration while offering one of its kind checkout credit using digital channels.
It would be good for data and FinTech professionals who are interested in use case of ML and data for credit, lending, risk and related areas. It is also good for people looking to build scale using open source technologies and public cloud services such as Redshift, S3, EMR etc
Talk about credit and lending business
Digital proxy for lending in absence of credit socres, using RFM analysis of customer transactions on payment gateway
Tapping the unbanked population from tier 2/3 towns in India who do not have cards o bank accounts and may use COD, coupons or wallets to make purchases
Leveraging ML and data platforms such as SparkML, Python Pandas, Scala, AWS to build a PaYLater product
Takeaway how to build a data and ML product
Choose the right technology to build the right solution
Solve the lending problem for millions of unbanked peopel in India
Build one of the finest FinTech architectures on a public cloud
Come with an open mind :)
See how FinTech is disrupting the tradition lending market using digitial footprint of consumers with data and ML.
Arpit is a serial entrepreneur and the process started when Arpit worked his way in grade 6 to teach himself programming and write business applications for SMBs in accounting, tax and inventory management. Slowly the business ramped up into training, networking solutions and coaching as he graduated from high school. In mid 2000s, Arpit scaled his outsourcing product consulting to Japan building embedded and network software for automotive and telecom companies. This business grew up into marketing research, HR manpower consulting, corporate training across India and Japan. Both these initiatives had a successful exit(acquired by iTT) and created sustained triple digit growth. Most recently Arpit help found a SAAS company AA that was bootstrapped in the US(SF, TX). Arpit previously lead product engineering teams in Sr leaderships roles at AMZN, YHOO, ORCL, RAX etc. At AMZN he launched SAAS enterprise and consumer products, at YHOO he built trust and safety organization, launched several search and AdTech products for 4 screens. He joined as a founder leader of new communication BU at ORCL scaling it to 250 people organization. RAX invited Arpit to build the analytics sciences organization and KPI for the hybrid cloud.
