Festival Economy Insights

The Festival Economy Insights project explores how major cultural events like Diwali, Durga Puja, and Christmas impact economic activities such as consumer spending, business sales, mobility, and online engagement. Using open datasets from Google Trends, government portals, and e-commerce reports, the project compared festival and non-festival periods to measure percentage changes in sales, footfall, and sentiment trends. Data visualization tools such as Matplotlib, Plotly, and Tableau were used to present key insights through charts and dashboards. The analysis revealed that festivals significantly boost retail demand and alter mobility and digital engagement patterns. Overall, the project highlights how data analytics can capture the economic pulse of cultural events, offering valuable insights for retailers, marketers, and policymakers to make informed, data-driven decisions during festive seasons.

Project Overview

The Festival Economy Insights project explores how cultural events such as Diwali influence local and national economies through data-driven analysis. Festivals often act as powerful economic catalysts, leading to significant changes in consumer behavior, business sales, and market activity. The objective of this project was to analyze real-world Diwali sales data to identify patterns in consumer spending, demographic preferences, and regional economic impact during the festival season. The dataset used, Diwali Sales Data, contained over 11,000 transaction records with information on customer demographics, product categories, locations, and purchase amounts. The data was cleaned by handling missing values, removing irrelevant columns, and standardizing features for accurate analysis. Key performance metrics such as total sales, total orders, and average order value were computed to understand overall market performance. The total sales during the Diwali period amounted to over ₹106 million, with an average order value of around ₹9,452, reflecting high consumer engagement during the festival. Through detailed exploratory data analysis (EDA) and visualization using Python libraries like pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn, several insights were uncovered. Maharashtra, Delhi, and Karnataka emerged as top-performing states, while food, sweets, and home décor were among the most popular product categories. Gender- and age-based segmentation revealed that customers aged between 25 and 34 years contributed the highest share of total sales, and female customers accounted for a larger portion of spending compared to males. Zone-based heatmaps further showed that urban regions favored electronics and gadgets, while tier-two and tier-three cities preferred home décor and sweets, indicating diverse consumer behavior patterns across regions. The project also explored correlations between order quantities and spending behavior, along with visualizations like pie charts, bar plots, and heatmaps to present findings clearly. Key insights emphasized that festive periods significantly influence consumer purchase decisions, product demand, and regional sales patterns. In conclusion, the Festival Economy Insights project effectively demonstrates how data analytics can quantify the economic impact of cultural festivals. By translating raw transactional data into meaningful insights, it enables retailers, marketers, and policymakers to optimize inventory planning, targeted marketing, and logistics strategies during high-demand festive periods. The project combines strong data cleaning, visualization, and storytelling techniques to reveal how festivals act as both cultural celebrations and economic growth drivers.

Skill-Salary Correlation Study

Skill-Salary Correlation Study

The Skill–Salary Correlation Study project focuses on understanding how various skills, experience levels, and educational backgrounds influence income across different industries and job roles. The objective of this project is to use real-world job and salary datasets to identify which skills deliver the highest return on investment in the job market and help professionals make data-driven career decisions. The project involves collecting and preparing data from sources such as Kaggle’s Data Science Salaries or Stack Overflow Developer Survey, Glassdoor reports, and LinkedIn job postings. The dataset includes information such as job title, skill set, years of experience, and annual salary. After cleaning and standardizing the data, binary indicators are created for top skills, allowing deeper comparison across professions. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is conducted to compute and visualize average salaries by skill, experience level, and industry using Python libraries like pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn. Visualizations such as bar charts, heatmaps, and bubble plots highlight top-paying skills and combinations. For example, professionals with Python, SQL, and Tableau skills tend to earn significantly higher salaries than those with traditional tools like Excel. A simple linear regression model is built to predict salary based on key features like skills, experience, and industry, allowing quantitative assessment of each factor’s contribution. The model’s coefficients and R² score help identify which skills have the greatest financial impact. Finally, the project concludes with clear, actionable insights and career recommendations — showing which skill sets provide the best salary growth potential and how professionals can strategically upskill. Overall, the Skill–Salary Correlation Study demonstrates how data analytics can bridge the gap between education and employability, offering valuable intelligence for job seekers, educators, and industry leaders.
