As a CEO of a healthtech startup, I would build a product that serves both industries - the 'middleware' between the plethora of smart watches / fitness trackers and the increasing number of VR/AR workout applications. This product would make it easy for apps to record key health metrics for their users without integrating with the countless wearable tech brands on the market."See full answer

Anushka R. - "One key thing I learned that made everything easier for me as a data analyst was the importance of structured thinking and communication before diving into the data. Early in my career, I used to jump directly into tasks like data cleaning, ETL processes—without fully understanding the problem or defining the questions I was trying to answer.
