Hi Modelers Forum India and thank you @Misbah for starting this group!

My passion is helping retailers learn more about Anaplan and what it has to offer. I've spend nearly 30 years working in the retail industry and I've never known a better planning platform. Currently, I'm helping several retailers, one in particular is implementing a markdown planning application.
For me, anything @Misbah thinks is a good topic is fine by me. I always learn something new from him. But here are a few topics I really enjoy: New UX examples, anything related to supply chain, and, well, just chatting with each other is a lot of fun too.
On the off hours, I spend time with my wife, 2 daughters, our dog, Charlie "Lily" Paws, and when I get the chance I like to sit down with my classical guitar and get lost in another world.

From the office of Jared Dolich. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hello All,

Thank you, @Misbah for starting this Forum.

I'm a CPA with experience in ERP implementations and have worked in Accounting and Finance industry for over 14+ years. I recently got certified as Model Builder by Anaplan and am looking forward to take my career to the next level by enhancing my skills in this platform and helping companies solve their planning needs. I've always been one who would embrace technology and innovation. I believe that transformation is key to run business in today's world. Things have changed drastically and for good and better.
I would expect this forum to be a medium for discussions related to industry best practices, model performance optimization techniques and other updates that might be helpful for all those working in this platform. So far, I've seen this ecosystem to be so encouraging and supportive of each other. Cant be more appreciative of this kind gesture. Looking forward to long lasting relationships in this ecosystem.
Apart from work, I love nature and go to trails, spiritual empowerment, spend time with my kids, enjoy vacation trips.

Hi Everyone,

Such an experience to be part of this initiative group @Misbah. So much to learn from my fellow Anaplaners.

After working in backend technology for several years, I am quite new to this vast and emerging business planning tech.

Currently, I am working on one of Quota and Territory planning project with one of the leading IT tech firm. Looking forward to learn about Anaplan features like optimizers, NUX, also scenarios utilizing third party scripts etc. in more detail. My takeaway would be to focus on the ways to inculcate Anaplan not just as a tool but as a mindset.
Events and discussions around any use case and problem statement is of interest. My personal focus would be to learn ways to lead in Anaplan as Front runner just as you (@Misbah) have led us in one of the project we worked together.

Apart from working in IT, I have worked Short film as Music composer and have interest in Film Making.

Warm Regards,

Abhinav Tripathi
