Durga Analytics (brand: Yukti) is a practitioner-led enterprise technology company. We combine consulting, software, and training so organizations can design, build, and sustain transformation with one partner.

Our story

Built from delivery, not slideware

Durga Analytics grew out of hands-on delivery in the hardest corners of enterprise technology - energy trading and risk, governed data platforms, and AI under regulatory scrutiny. The through-line is simple: advice should be backed by the ability to build, and software should encode what the field actually taught us.

That is why we operate across four pillars - consulting, enterprise software, professional training, and research - rather than one. Each reinforces the others: consulting reveals the product gaps, products sharpen the consulting, and training turns both into lasting capability inside client teams.

Why work with us

What you get from a practitioner-led partner

Most firms sell you one of three things: advice, software, or training. When they are bought separately, the advice does not know what the software can do, the software does not reflect what the field taught, and the training teaches neither. We hold all three together, led by people who have actually built these systems inside Fortune 500 banks, energy majors, and trading houses. That is the difference between a vendor and a partner.

Depth you can verify

Our leadership has delivered ETRM, capital-markets, and data platforms for organizations like a global banking platform, ADNOC, ENI, and Centrica. When we advise on a decision, we have made it before, under real constraints.

One partner, end to end

Strategy, build, and capability in one team. The consulting reveals the product gaps, the products sharpen the consulting, and the training turns both into lasting capability inside your teams.

Vendor-neutral and outcome-first

Recommendations follow the evidence and your constraints, not partner incentives, and are delivered in slices that prove value early rather than in one unsteerable programme.

Principles

How we operate

Governance-first

Control and auditability built in from the start, so what we build survives scrutiny.

Business-aligned

Technology in service of measurable results: time-to-value, cost efficiency, and decision uplift.

Hands-on

Senior people who build alongside your teams, not a pyramid that hands delivery to the inexperienced.

Leadership

Led by practitioners who have built this before

The firm is led by senior practitioners whose careers span energy trading and risk, financial services, and enterprise data and AI, across the UK, EU, US, and India. Their experience shapes every engagement, product decision, and course we teach.
