“Big data has been efficiently harnessed by just a few corporations. They haven’t been able to leverage its benefits due to the shortfall in talent and because of this dearth of highly skilled human resources. The need of the hour is to create a holistic and future-ready program developed by the industry for the industry,” said Dhiraj Rajaram, Founder, CEO and Chairman statement. “The intent of this program is to create exceptional leaders in the digital age,” he added.
