IT professionals, who were once the cream of our country, are being shown door by their companies due to their out dated skills. As per recent McKinsey & Company report, half the current IT workforce will be irrelevant over the next 3-4 years, if they fail to get upskilled. Although there are few training centers trying to enhance their skills, they fail to make them industry-ready, as they are unable to provide pragmatic market-relevant training. It’s this severe shortage for skilled resources for their global Machine Leaning projects that thrust the parent organization of DataMites to commence a training institute for enhancing its students’ Data Science & Machine Learning skills in tune with their projects and source the best of them.

Thanks to its pragmatic courses that have been facilitating candidates to get easily absorbed by organizations in the job market, DataMites expanded its footprint to the Netherland & UK as well. Today, it’s the only company in India that is running successfully with 60 members per class and training about 2500 students in South India (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai & Pune), along with nearly 1000 Indian audience located in U.S., UK, Europe & Australia via online training.

India’s Big Data analytics sector will face a demand-supply gap of two lakh data analytics professionals by 2020, according to industry experts. Smelling the coffee, DataMites, founded by a group of passionate Data Science evangelists belonging to India, UK and the Netherlands, offers global data science certification courses. It’s the only company in India accredited by International Association of Business Analytics Certifications (IABAC).
