He spent good amount of time in enthralling the audience how small players are taking on heavyweights in the industry with data analytics. The mantra for success of today’s startups is use of analytics in identifying the trends in different fields and be the first to introduce in the market. The use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence has taken leaps and bounds in lot of industries but he explained, still human intervention is necessary at the appropriate time.
