Project background.

The telecom industry faces significant challenges related to customer churn, where customers switch between service providers. It can cost 5-10 times more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one, and the telecom industry experiences an average churn rate of 15-22% per year. In Africa market, approximately 80% of revenue comes from the top 20% of customers, making it crucial to reduce churn among high-value customers. In this project, we will use customer-level data to build predictive models for identifying high-churn-risk customers and the main indicators of churn, ultimately aiming to reduce churn and retain valuable customers.
