83% of India's data-driven companies are more resilient and confident during the pandemic than non-data-driven companies (The Economic Times, 2020). The Applied Business Analytics programme from ISB is designed not only to explain what each model does or functions but also explores how businesses use them, whether it is to gather insights, solve problems, or predict outcomes. In 12 weeks, through engaging online sessions, you will gain a hands-on approach to understanding different types of analytics and their uses to make informed data-driven business decisions.
