Why study Analytics or Data Science?
With growing data and complexity, data analytics will become a competitive advantage for companies doing it well.
Have you ever wondered how social networking sites like Facebook and Linkedin can suggest you friends in near time? How can Google
use its search query data to identify areas under pandemic influence?
How can a grocery store predict pregnancy of its customer even before it was known to her family?
All of these are examples of analytics at work in real time. And this is just the start. With increasing usage of mobile devices and digitization across the globe,
advantages of investing in cutting edge analytics are unlimited.
According to Harvard Business Review (October 2012 edition),
job of a data scientist is the sexiest job of 21st century.
