Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ DataSphere Lab proving to be good for business

Published: 10 October 2025

At Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾â€™s Desautels Faculty of Management, the DataSphere Lab is transforming how companies use data and how students learn.

Launched in 2023, the lab connects organizations eager to make smarter, data-driven decisions with Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ students who apply advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI to real-world challenges.

For Yash Sethi (MMA '25), that meant using predictive models to help L’Oréal analyze customer queries and allocate resources more effectively. Yash Joshi (MMA '24) helped the ALDO Group implement a generative AI solution that began as part of the Retail Gen AI Hackathon, and later joined the company full-time.

Founded by Shoeb Hosain, former MMA Program Director, and established through a collaboration between the Bensadoun School of Retail Management and the Master of Management in Analytics (MMA) program, the initiative bridges academia and industry through hands-on, paid projects that address business challenges across sectors, from healthcare and transportation to retail and manufacturing.
