"We believe increased adoption of analytics and advancement in AI will further drive the demand for analytics outsourcing in the coming years," said Bhasker Gupta, Founder & CEO, Analytics India Magazine.
"I believe Data Science is poised for tremendous growth for the following three reasons: one, the data explosion that is yet to happen - we are probably at the tip of the iceberg with IoT and social media yet to achieve their full potential; two, continued improvements in machine learning software and algorithms which will make data science increasingly easier to use and more useful to apply; and three, development of better computing resources to keep pace with the data and machine learning algorithms. A combination of these three will drive growth in data science, which is, in my opinion, just scratching the surface at this point in time," said Charanpreet Singh, Founder & Director, Praxis Business School Foundation.
