About the Book

The first-of-its-kind book on data story telling set in the Indian context by an Indian author. The Power of Data Storytelling is a book that aims to solve the classic dilemma of—How do I make company data interesting and present it in the form of a great data story for today’s time-crunched professionals.

About the Author :
Sejal Vora helps organizations communicate effectively with data. Her well-appreciated training workshops enable organizations to give a facelift to all forms of data communications by inculcating a data-storytelling culture. Her workshops garner strong interest from both individuals and large MNCs across financial and non-financial sectors. Her data-storytelling talent displays a unique combination of skill sets, including analytical thinking, storytelling, visualization and writing, developed over the last 15 years through her strong education and experience. An analyst at heart, Sejal has been telling ‘data stories’ through her research reports even before the terms ‘data storytelling’ and ‘data visualization’ were coined. A CFA and MS Finance (ICFAI), Sejal spent a decade in her investment research career with top financial services MNCs, including Morgan Stanley and RBS, offering extensive international exposure. Through years of rigorous on-the-job training in the financial services sector, Sejal has developed a unique ability to find and communicate simple yet effective data stories from any type of data—quantitative or qualitative—from all types of businesses. You say ‘data’ and she pictures ‘stories’.  Sejal’s current passion is to rid the world of data dumps!

Review :
‘Visualization’ and ‘intelligence’ are what set this book apart. The Power of Data Storytelling will make you think differently about the way you present arguments and the usage of data in those discussions. ‘If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten’. Kipling’s quote holds equally true for data. Stories leave a powerful impact, which is not possible with data alone. Very often, teams struggle to connect the dots in understanding valuable insights behind data and have a hard time in making critical data-based decisions. This can be solved if loose-hanging valuable data gets a shape. This book tells us exactly how we can make data more meaningful with the power of data storytelling. A must-read for all corporate professionals. Sejal has impressively encapsulated the ‘art and science of data storytelling’. This book is a handy guide for professionals across industries and experience levels to effectively communicate their views to their audience, who often have a very short attention span. The simple yet powerful concepts discussed in this book will help put your thoughts and data in a compelling and impactful manner. Through this book, you will learn a structured approach to organize thoughts, data and analysis, which will change the way one communicates with data. “A great story on the concept and principles of Data Storytelling. An absolute must in the exponential and explosive, current and future world of the Data Big Bang!” Data presentations are less about data and more about the meaning behind the data. Sejal introduces simple and practically applicable writing and visualization nuances that help bring out the data insight to make your reports and presentations much more impactful. A beginner or an experienced professional will find something new to take away from this book.
