Become a Machine Learning Expert from India's #1 Machine Learning Lab and AI Research Center

Deep tech has been the buzzword in the Indian startup ecosystem for quite some time and several homegrown companies are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning(ML), IoT, big data, cloud, mobility, and data analytics and bringing to the fore innovative solutions. In fact, a recent report by Infosys, which surveyed 1,000 senior IT and business decision-makers in companies across seven countries, found that more than half of the companies assessed had already invested in deep-learning AI algorithms.

The report also showed that companies are investing in a wide range of offerings — retail in augmented reality, automotive in connected cars and utilities looking at tech for omni-channel customer experience.

That’s why professionals across organisations, independent of their job roles, are expected to have a working knowledge of AI and how they can effectively use these disruptive technologies in their area of work.
