Data science is reshaping the job market through fierce competition between companies for top talent.

Our flexibility of engagement options from permanent to short-term and long-term contracts has helped CIO leaders plan their project deliveries on-time and on-budget. “India lacks massively when it comes to talent in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence, with more and more jobs increasingly becoming data-driven, the need of the hour is for professionals to upskill themselves to stay relevant.
