(Homegrown IT firms, which…)
BANGALORE: Wipro said that it will partner with Vellore Institute of Technology to train its graduates hired this year in analytics space as the Bangalore-based company looks to overcome the shortage of data scientists in the industry.
This engagement by the country's third-largest software exporter with VIT also underscores the importance of data analytics and how IT firms are gearing to have the best minds to work in this niche space.
"Capturing new opportunities in the digital world hinges on our ability to have the best people in the industry?," said Jeff Heenan-Jalil, Senior Vice President and Global Head, Advanced Technologies & Solutions, Wipro. "This will be achieved by offering the "talent pool" projects which excite and stimulate their intelligent minds.
We believe investing in creating the frameworks to nurture the resources of the future will be in the best interests of our clients and the industries we operate in"
Homegrown IT firms, which generate over 60% of revenues from US, have seen a lot of clients engage in the area of analytics. Worryingly, industry estimates that US faces a shortage of upto 190,000 data scientists.
"The WiSTA - Data Scientist program is an initiative aimed at creating an industry ready cadre of Data Scientists within Wipro in the information management and analytics space," said a Wipro statement "These Data Scientists will work with Wipro's customers in the US and in various other international locations"

How noise-cancelling technology works for headphones    Bose pioneered the concept of noise-cancelling headphones way back in 1989 after more than 10 years of research. ET explains how this fascinating technology works. Noise cancellation in the car You may have experienced that some cars are quieter than others - this is because of the special attention paid to insulating materials (special laminated glass for example). However, there's only so much that passive noise isolation can accomplish inside the complicated acoustics of the car. That's why luxury carmakers have been implementing active noise cancellation for a quieter cabin. The same active noise cancelling technologies used in headphones can be easily implemented in a car. See image for details. How it works Simply put, active noise cancellation works by 'listening' to unwanted ambient sounds, and then producing a s
