Introduction

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. In order to bridge this gap, Analytics Vidhya proudly announces Mini Hackathon where the brains of analytics will fight to solve a kaggle problem. Interesting part is, the people will get complete support of team of data scientists from Analytics Vidhya.

This meetup will be steered by Mr. Kunal Jain, CEO, Analytics Vidhya who also happens to be a Data Scientist, Growth Hacker.
