When's the last time you thought about your utility providers? Probably when you signed up for their service, right?

In this episode, Jon Prial talks with Abhay Gupta, the CEO of Bidgely, a software company with an energy monitoring and management solution that's working to help utility companies empower and engage their customers.

Vladimir Iglovikov graduated from university with a degree in theoretical physics, he moved to Silicon Valley in search of a data science role in the industry. This led him to his current position in Lyft’s autonomous vehicle division where he works on computer vision related applications. In the past few years, he has invested a lot of time in Machine Learning competitions leading to his title of Kaggle Grandmaster. In this episode, Vladimir explains how difficult it was to find work in Silicon Valley. He had harsh requirements for a salary, no one looked at his resume. Companies in Silicon Valley are willing to pay big bucks, but at the same time, they require the person to be skilled in software engineering, machine learning, and statistics. His biggest issue when applying for jobs was assuming that all people are similar to the people in academics. At his interviews, he felt no connection with the interviewers. After sending his resume to over 200 different companies, someone finally bit just before his visa expired. Vladimir worked at Bidgely for 8 months then moved to TrueAccord and eventually got his job at Lyft. Enjoy the show!

We explore the challenges the utility industry is facing on three levels: Their infrastructure, their operation and their customers. We dive deep into the opportunity that’s ahead of us, and why this can only be solved with the support of the latest technologies. Here are some of his quotes:I ended up in product management and building smart meters for the energy industry somehow in my career. And we were building smart meters, we realized all this data that is produced by smart meters has so much potential. It's just not being used for its potential. So, we identified this opportunity to disrupt the decision-making process and the whole opportunity energy industry because if you look at the retail, internet, medical, any of the industry the data is used for so much and so much personalization. So much of value creation. The energy industry is lagging behind massively.The utility industry has not changed for decades. The primary business for most of the utilities in the world has been about how to keep the lights on, how to build power plants, how to keep the distribution and transmission of the energy correctly happening.This is the opportunity for the utility and energy industry to completely change and morph themselves into something, what I call at par with the Google and Amazon of the world.During this interview, you will learn three things:How a byproduct of your core innovation could end up giving your customer the ultimate point of differentiationHow to make strategic decisions in situations where there are multiple solid routes to solving a problemHow focusing on customer experience can result in radical cuts in internal operational cost at the same time.

Energy data analytics company Bidgely says it can reduce energy consumption in homes by 6%, which is 300% better than other home energy platforms, the company says. This is based on a survey of 500 users, says Abhay Gupta, CEO. How is this happening? The company uses "whole house data," providing information about what air conditioners, lights, and other electricity users are consuming, he claims. This allows residents to see where they need to cut back.
