About Me

Esha Nakka smiling at a café table with pancakes and coffee

I am a Singapore-based technology and business intelligence professional currently pursuing a Master of Science in Information System at Nanyang Technological University. My experience spans analytics and reporting, technology consulting, digital transformation, GenAI evaluation, data governance, and responsible AI.

Across professional and academic work, I have translated fragmented information and complex business challenges into structured recommendations, governance frameworks, strategic roadmaps, and decision-ready insights. I am particularly interested in how organisations can adopt emerging technologies responsibly while maintaining trust, reliability, and measurable business value.

Selected Work

Selected projects exploring enterprise GenAI, technology adoption, simulation assurance, compliance, and growth strategy.

S01E01

The One With GenAI Vendor Selection

Generative AI Benchmarking & Vendor Advisory

An empirical evaluation of Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity against human analyst baselines for enterprise IT vendor assessment.

Challenge: Enterprise teams increasingly use LLMs to accelerate vendor research, but model-generated recommendations may vary in consistency, compliance coverage, analytical quality, and reliability.

Outcome: Identified important limitations in using LLM-generated outputs for enterprise vendor selection and demonstrated the need for human validation, transparent evaluation criteria, and governance controls.

The One With the AI Avatars

Enterprise GenAI Governance and Adoption Strategy

A study of enterprise adoption barriers and governance implications associated with AI-generated avatars.

Challenge: Organisations adopting AI-generated avatars must balance potential productivity and communication benefits against concerns involving trust, perceived usefulness, ethics, organisational readiness, and employee acceptance.

Outcome: Developed a structured view of the organisational, behavioural, ethical, and operating-model factors that influence successful enterprise adoption of AI-generated avatars.

The One With the Digital Twin

Digital Twin Simulation Assurance and Reliability Framework

A risk-based governance framework for assessing the credibility and operational reliability of digital-twin simulations.

Challenge: Digital twins used in manufacturing and critical infrastructure require credible evidence that their models, data, assumptions, and outputs are reliable enough to support operational decisions.

Outcome: Produced a governance model for assessing digital-twin credibility across manufacturing and critical-infrastructure contexts.

The One With the Pickup Points

Shopee Pickup Point Growth Strategy

A five-year growth and go-to-market strategy designed to improve pickup-point adoption in Singapore.

Challenge: Pickup-point adoption is affected by infrastructure coverage, customer value perception, trust, onboarding friction, pricing, and awareness.

Outcome: Produced a comprehensive five-year growth strategy with a phased go-to-market roadmap and KPI model for pickup-point adoption in Singapore.

These figures are project targets and projections, not claimed realised business results. This strategy was developed as an academic project and does not imply that Shopee adopted the proposed approach.
