especially in a country like India, where the young population has an
impressive number. The growth in Data and the parallel increase in the need
to manage them has made companies search for qualified professionals
who are proficient in it.Data Science involves analysing massive amounts of
data by using automated methods and extract insights that help in making
strategic business solutions. Data Scientists are the modern day heroes who
will perform this job, and their demand is increasing exponentially.
