Introduction

After receiving an overwhelming response at Mini Datathon on 17th May 2015, we proudly announce ‘Data Hackathon’ to fuel your analytics learning appetite. This is how it looked when data science freaks got busy solving the datasets last time(images below).

Here’s another chance for you to come and be a part of world’s fastest growing analytics community.

The Real Story…

Having met many industry professionals, beginners, we understand people who are currently working in analytics or eager to enter analytics industry usually have one thing in common which is ‘problem solving abilities’.

After going through more than 100 hours of trainings on analytics tools and techniques, people still struggle to implement their knowledge to solve real time business problems. One such platform which offers problems with a handsome prize money is Kaggle. Every working professional in analytics industry aspires to win atleast one kaggle competition to get credibility in his business domain. But, a few succeed in making such brilliant accomplishments .

One major reason for failure that we see is the lack of support in analytics community in India. At Data Hackathon, you will not be left alone to solve any problem. The people will get complete support of team of data scientists from Analytics Vidhya.

This meetup will be steered by Mr. Tavish Srivastava, Co-Founder, Analytics Vidhya who is currently leading the analytics team in Citibank.

Who should join this meetup ?

Anyone who is keen to learn analytics or has already stepped into analytics and wishes to upscale his/her knowledge and skills is welcome to join us.

How much is the fees for this meetup?

There is NO FEES for participating in this event. We believe that learning should not be obstructed due to financial commitments. Hence, you are invited.
