Assuming small startup = early stage, there will be no/less data culture, no/less scale and less data. Swiggy and Flipkart are scale-ups/unicorns which took years to even find PMF and eventually scale to their current level. Focus on building and growing your data stack steadily.

Now, since you're in a leadership role, the culture drives through you. So if you feel that the culture is deteriorating and/or going sideways, talk to the founders and other leaders to build a culture (including data culture).

Secondly, the industry you're in (green energy) is very different, but promising. You're feeling FOMO since there's a lot of hype around AI. In 2-5 years, 80% of them will fail (just like the dot com boom). Green energy is an industry that will increase (and keep increasing) in demand over years. You're already doing cutting edge work :)

Hope this helps! All the best!

Assuming this is legitimate, as the Head of Analytics, shouldn't you be majorly responsible for fixing this situation? Why crib yet when you might not have yet tried using your full range of capabilities?
