Data Science Hackathon:
It has been rightly said that the world is now awash in data and we can see consumers in a lot clearer ways. Data science is bringing drastic changes in the way businesses operate. Guestimates are now turning into estimates based on real data and insights drawn basis the figures. Data science aims at converting data into information and information into insight.

Initially, only a handful of companies tried their hands with data analytics. However, as the start-up trend is catching up, the pace of growth of big data analytics and data science has picked up. This is eventually increasing the demand of data science professionals by leaps and bounds. Infact, some experts opine that growth of data scientists will beat the growth of IT professionals soon.

While there is enough demand, the industry is facing severe shortage of data science professionals. Taking a cuethe encouraging industry trend, Code Gladiators 2017 is giving data scientists the desired platform to display their tech acumen to the world in general and to the participating companies, in particular.

The ‘Data Science’ theme in Code Gladiators will allow the participants to work on different simple and complex sets of data, process it and draw insights to reach the expected and unexpected results. If you are good with your figures and their insights, you will not only be rewarded by us, but also get directly exposed to companies working in this domain. In short, if you know how to torture the data, you will sail through the competition with ease.
