Being a nation where every 300 miles you get a new nation, new language, new food, new culture, new people, new mindset, new ideologies, so to build up a data system where you require big data to translate the popularity that’s where AI works.
We started trying to understand the whole aspect of machine learning and AI and applying it to the world of trends in this country, Dr Sehgal said. It became a huge aspect that we ourselves had to do a lot of learning and relearning.”
“We looked at AI big data. Because being a nation where every 300 miles you get a new nation, new language, new food, new culture, new people, new mindset, new ideologies, so to build up a data system where you require big data to translate the popularity that’s where Al works for us at large,” Dr Sengupta explained the reason behind.
