It’s been 7 years since we first started Analytics India Magazine, India’s largest analytics community.  With more than 1.5 million users, AIM has evolved into the #1 platform with a thriving community of developers, data scientists and business decision makers who tap into AIM for insights. A big shout out to our growing community and all the tech-savvy people that has helped us grow exponentially!

In fact, our community, which is our backbone, has been able to get a head start on the latest techniques, technologies and the skills they need today through our information-packed conferences, meetups and content specially tailored for the data science community. If data fuels the future, AIM is at the forefront of it, exploring the latest techniques and opportunities for the growing community.

“In the last 7 years, we have seen the analytics industry and ecosystem evolve and mature. AIM has played a pivotal role in addressing the gap in the developer and business community by answering critical questions. What are people doing with data and how it can be more valuable for organisations, startups, professionals and especially at an individual level for beginners seeking a new career in this domain,” says Bhasker Gupta, Founder & CEO, Analytics India Magazine.

As part of our 7 years celebration, we are launching a brand new web series – The Pretentious Geek.  This is a weekly episode that talks about the latest technologies in a quirky fashion.

Check out the first episode on our channel this week.

Check out some of the highlights of our evolution:

Relevant Content: In the last few years, to keep up with the demand for learning-related relevant content, AIM has created a wonderful repository of content geared at developer ecosystem in India.

Cypher & MLDS: Today, AIM organises 4 conferences a year around India and Singapore, including the flagship analytics conference Cypher in Bangalore and Gurgaon. Our upcoming conference, Machinecon in Mumbai and Singapore will see a gathering of business leaders and IT decision makers. Our first edition of developer-focused conference MLDS was a huge hit and met the demands of the growing developer base in India, hungry for the latest solutions in AI and advanced analytics space. The broad appeal for MLDS  & Cypher conference stems from relevant content and hands-on workshops which are primarily tailored for a technical audience . we continue to provide stellar content with a keen eye on business applications and use cases.

MachineCon: On the other hand, MachineCon to be held on May 24 in Mumbai and May 31 in Singapore seeks to deliver business value to IT decision makers and helps them navigate the challenge of converting technology investments into real business value. Business decision makers seek insights on how to build data-driven strategies and drive efficiency and innovation. At the same time, IT leaders look for information on how to bridge the gap between data and tech agenda.
