Over 1000 tech professionals from Hyderabad and Bengaluru have enrolled into the Program in the first 8 months of the launch. 10% of these participants are from top leadership roles, 35% are from startups and mid-sized companies, and remaining from large companies. Average experience of participants is 7 years and they are currently working with 380+ global organisations.
Speaking on this association, Sanjeev Malhotra, CEO at NASSCOM CoE-DSAI said, “NASSCOM CoE-DSAI was launched with an objective of establishing India to be a global DSAI destination by 2022. Industry will need 150,000 experts in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence to enable this objective.
