NASSCOM Certified Data Analyst

Data Analytics refers to the use of advanced data tools to analyse large volumes of Data to uncover patterns and connections and provide valuable insights to business leading to better decision making. Following are few examples from our everyday lives that shows the importance and the need for Data Analysis:

  • Companies like Ola and Uber use Big Data to analyze and predict the demand-supply gap. Based on this analysis, decision on surge pricing and fleet deployment are taken.
  • When booking flight and hotels online, companies track how many people are viewing flights or hotels for the same day. Based on this analysis, they tweak to price to maximize their revenue
  • Online portals like Amazon, Flipkart, Facebook, Google use analytics for better customer experience and services

The demand for Data Analytics professionals is growing at a rapid pace and is considered one of the highest paying professions.  To fulfil the current and future demand, NASSCOM has collaborated with leading analytics companies such as Accenture, Fractal Analytics, TCS, Cap Gemini and Wipro, to name a few, and created a program that will ensure learners are ready to be absorbed by these leading companies.

This program will help you master skills and tools like Clustering, Decision trees, R Studio, R Programming, Python, Big Data, Hadoop, Spark, SQL, NoSQL, Impala, Data Visualization tools like Tableau, Data modelling, Statistical functions, Machine Learning, deep learning algorithms that use predictive analytics to solve real-time decision-making problems.

The program provides access to high-quality content and other resources to put you on the right path to be a Data Analyst and eventually become a Data Scientist.
