Dear AVian,
2015 was year of growth for us – we transformed from a blog to a community of data scientists. We launched our discussion portals, hackathon platform and job portal – and each of this initiative is shaping up well. Our mission of building a nation of data scientists is coming live every day. And all of this happened only because of your enthusiasm and support. We couldn’t have thought of this journey without direction from you. Your comments, emails, letters and queries helps us decide our next steps.
So, on this day of new year, I want to hear more from you. I want to hear from you what bothers you the most about data science? What aspects of data science you find hard to learn? What is blocking your successful journey? What is one thing you would want us to do right in 2016?
Simply reply to this email on write in comments below.
I don’t know how things will turn out. But, I promise, I’ll try my best to give you many reasons of happiness & joy in 2016.
Wishing you all a year full of joy, health, curiosity, knowledge and perseverance.
I’m waiting for your reply.
Regards

Dear Kunal, Happy New Year and an even more successful 2016. Keep up the good work. I am currently in Bombay and will be heading back to USA on the 5th. Pl. let me k now if you are travelling around this are in the next 2 days. Best Regards, Srikar 202-445-0183
Srikar, Looks like I'll miss you. I plan to be in Mumbai a couple of weeks down the line. All the best for your trip. Regards, Kunal
The biggest problem I have had is access to realistic data. I would like to see a repository of "scan data", mfg rep sales data, etc., and other types of data sets for analysis and feedback from other Data Analysts on how they approached the problem. It is extremely difficult to get good realistic data as companies jealously guard their data and trade secrets.
Alvin, This sounds a lot like our hackathons. Do check them out - http://datahack.analyticsvidhya.com We release data after working with our clients for these hackathons and the community usually shares their solutions on our discussion platform. Hope to see you competing in our hackathons this year. Regards, Kunal
Dear kunal HAPPY NEW YEAR Regards. kishore
Thanks Kishore. Same to you.
