Gramener Decodes Data Science – External Talks in August 2020

Reading Time: 3 mins

In our journey to make the 7.8 billion people worldwide experience the power of data storytelling, we are taking small steps every month and connecting with young minds at colleges and universities.

We believe that students can build a better tomorrow by leveraging technology to help businesses, society, and communities solve complex problems.

In August 2020, four of our data specialists collaborated with reputed institutions – IIM Shillong, IIM Raipur, IIM Nagpur, and Goa Institute of Management. The sessions were crafted to teach the importance of Data Science, Storytelling, Advanced Analytics, and techniques such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

The speakers ensured that the sessions added value to the future goals of students who would jump into the corporate world and deal with complex business problems.
