Data Driven Leadership Guest Lecture

Speaker: Mr. N Anand - Head of Data Science at Verizon India

        The inquisitiveness of the students was soaring high on Saturday 06-August-2016 as the first ever industry oriented session for data sciences was organised. The session started with the speaker’s extensive emphasis on the digital footprint. Widening of data as more customers are a part of the more robust technological network ranging from IoT(Internet of Things) among others.


        The session then steered to the core aspects of data science in an organisation-the overall ability to deduce wisdom from data. After that it spoke about data lakes-excess data (esp. unstructured) and allied spaces. Finally the lecture took off with a focus towards transforming business problems into an existing one. Post the general lecture a Q&A session was organised wherein the students of DS asked the doubts pertaining to the DS market and other future endeavours.
