Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 5: The ability to harness insights from data analytics is a critical differentiator for leaders seeking to drive growth, innovation, and profitability. As organisations increasingly rely on data to inform decisions across functions - from marketing and product development to finance and operations - the need for professionals who can collect, analyse, and interpret large data sets has never been more pressing. Recognising the growing demand, the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK), ranked 3rd in the Ministry of Education's NIRF 2023 rankings, has launched the 7th batch of its Data Analytics for Business Strategy: Essential Tools and Applications Programme. This initiative is in partnership with Emeritus, a global leader in providing accessible and affordable high-quality education to individuals and organisations.
