Professional education firm Imarticus Learning has partnered with KPMG India for a Data Science Prodegree Course.
The course has been designed to enable students apply Data Science to business contexts and make them job ready.
As per the agreement KPMG (the knowledge partner for the Prodgree course) would provide business case studies and capstone projects to support the curriculum apart from extending their Data Science specialists to mentor the students.
Arihant Garg, Partner, KPMG India “there is huge amount of data available today. Be it banks, financial services, manufacturing units, e-commerce or healthcare – every sector is looking for useful insights from the data gathered over the years. All such organizations are either building data science teams or on-boarding data science consultants to solve their business problems or exploit new opportunities.”
Nikhil Barshikar, Founder, Imarticus Learning observed that the biggest shortcoming faced by present day job aspirants is “getting first-hand experience. This programme would provide just that. While mentors would help students understand the challenges of Data Science projects in real world, the test (for the students) would be in finding the right solution at the right time with limited data resources.”
With Data Science transitioning rapidly from a buzzword to a widely-adopted technique across industry verticals, a strong foundation in the subject seems essential for candidates aspiring to become professionals in this space.
Studies show that the analytics industry grew to $3.03 worldwide in 2019, and projected to double by 2025.

A letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.
Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.
In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.
We are trying our best to ensure the newspaper reaches your hands every day. We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
But all this comes at a heavy cost. As you are aware, the lockdowns have wiped out almost all our entire revenue stream. Sustaining our quality journalism has become extremely challenging. That we have managed so far is thanks to your support. I thank all our subscribers – print and digital – for your support.
I appeal to all or readers to help us navigate these challenging times and help sustain one of the truly independent and credible voices in the world of Indian journalism. Doing so is easy. You can help us enormously simply by subscribing to our digital or e-paper editions. We offer several affordable subscription plans for our website, which includes Portfolio, our investment advisory section that offers rich investment advice from our highly qualified, in-house Research Bureau, the only such team in the Indian newspaper industry.
