The usage trends refer to the analysis of how customer usage (voice, data, SMS) changes over time, allowing providers to identify peak usage periods or shifts in customer preferences. The subscription changes refer to the examining of the trends in customer behavior regarding switching plans (e.g., moving from prepaid to postpaid) or upgrading/downgrading their services. The seasonal variations refer to the recognition of seasonal or temporal trends that influence customer behavior, such as increased usage during holidays or promotional periods. The customer grouping refers to the segmentation of the customers into groups based on similar characteristics, behaviors, or preferences.

The data visualization includes creating graphical representations of complex datasets to make the information more accessible and understandable. The data visualization includes, but is not limited to, customer segmentation charts, churn risk heatmaps, trends over time, usage patterns, customer journey mapping, comparative analysis. The key factors or one or more parameters for predicting customer churn include, but not limited to, customer demographics, service usage patterns, billing and payment history, service quality metrics, customer support interactions, subscription information, historical churn data. The customer demographics include, but not limited to, age, gender, location. The service usage patterns include, but not limited to, voice/data usage, Value-Added Services (VAS), The billing and payment history include, but are not limited to, later payments, billing complaints.

The historical data includes past churn behavior, predictive features. The approach to set the boundary condition includes service quality and billing. For example, if a customer's service quality score falls below a certain threshold (e.g., more than 5 dropped calls per month), they might be flagged as at risk, if a customer has more than 3 late payments in the last 6 months, they might be flagged for potential churn.
[0053] Subsequently, the rendering unit 224 is configured to render insights of the analysis to a service provider via the user interface 206. The rendering insights of the analysis to a service provider via the user interface 206 involves presenting the results of data analysis in an intuitive and accessible format, enabling the service provider to take informed actions based on the insights. The rendering the insights of the analysis process is essential for communicating valuable information about customer behavior, usage patterns, and churn risk. In an embodiment, the rendering unit 224 provides realtime insights into customer plan changes by utilizing predictive analytics to identify churn risks and upgrade opportunities. Further, the rendering unit 224 offers personalized plans and services based on categorization and automates data preprocessing to streamline processes and save operational costs.

9. The system (108) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the retrieving unit (212) comprises the receiving unit (210) configured to receive the subscriptions data associated with the mobile subscriber at a graphical user interface.
10. The system (108) as claimed in claim 7, the system comprises a storing unit (220) configured to store the predicted trend data, and the analysed data in a data lake (314).
11. The system (108) as claimed in claim 7, wherein receiving the single stream of integrated data, comprises the retrieving unit (212), configured to retrieve, a multiple types of data of customers from external sources and feed data to a fault management system, wherein the data is historical data including one of, but not limited to customer onboarding, customer deactivation and system-based data.
12. The system (108) as claimed in claim 7, the system comprises a rendering unit (224), configured to render insights of the analysis to a user interface, wherein the data enables segregating the customers based on their current mobile subscription plans and predicting the risk of customer churn.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer- readable instructions that, when executed by a processor (202), cause the processor (202) to: receive a single stream of integrated data from a data integration module (306); normalize the integrated data, using a pre-processor (310) to obtain an organised set of data, and storing the organized data; 1 analyse the organized data, and perform trend analysis to segregate and categorize the customers based on their current subscription data using a model, deployed by an execution module (312); predict the risk of customer churn, and detect anomaly using the model; and generate a data visualization of categorizing the customers based on their current mobile subscription plans and predicting the risk of customer churn based on a predicted trend data, and an analysed data.
