What is Data Science?
The world is data-driven, and data science is Centered on the concept of building,
cleaning, and organising huge datasets. It focuses on finding meaningful correlations
between large datasets and seeks to discover new and unique questions that can drive
business innovation.

Data science is a combination of multiple disciplines – Computer Science, Mathematics,

Statistics, Information Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning, and uses
concepts like Data Inference, Data Mining, Predictive Modeling, and ML algorithm
development, to extract insights from complex databases.

Why is Data Science Important?

Data science plays a vital role in almost all aspects of business functioning. It enables
companies to create business plans and strategies that are based on informed analysis
of customer behaviour, market trends, and competition.

Data Scientist is the Most In-demand

Profession
Data helps companies assess the market and consumer base and is becoming an
indispensable asset today. With companies increasingly realising the true potential of
data scientists, jobs in this field are expected to skyrocket. The US Bureau of Labor
Statistics predicted that the rising importance of data science will lead to the creation
of approximately 11.5 million job openings by 2026.

These trends make it an opportune time to begin developing a career in data science.
However, a course in data science can prepare you to step into a challenging and
rewarding job in this field.

The number of data scientists required is increasing at an exponential rate. The rise of
various job roles across sectors and the increase of data and its different types have
made this possible. The number of data scientists and positions will only grow in the
future, which is why the appeal for the profession is only set to grow over the next few
years.

But while demand for data science professionals is at an all-time high, there is a
substantial demand-supply imbalance due to a scarcity of qualified people. Learning
and becoming a certified data scientist is a good way to future-proof your career.
