EXPLORE THE PROGRAM

Digitalisation has changed the world of data because we are dealing with a huge chunk of digital data on a day-to-day basis. Businesses around the world realised the power of data in various business processes. Hence, businesses are deciphering data using different methods to improve their business outcome.

Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI are the buzzwords that are used interchangeably by most people. However, the fact is that all these are working on different concepts. The concept of data science is to explain data to make data-driven decisions and AI replicates human intelligence to automate various tasks, whereas machine learning is an approach that helps to teach computers on how to make accurate decisions with the data uploaded.

Various domains of analytics are classified as per the use of data. Today, data science is a booming sector that offers highly paid jobs. Analytics is a vast area of study and organisations need strategic methods to optimize the performance of their business. However, the right skill sets are required to be successful in the field of analytics.
