Introduction
Writing doesn’t only improve your thought process, but also allows you to share knowledge which is difficult to share otherwise.
With this thought, we came up with Blogathon in the month of January. This competition went live for 2 months. This was aimed at bringing the thought leaders from analytics and data science industry.
Choosing the winning articles among the many best ones was quite a tough task in itself. After a lot of scrutiny we decided to crown these three participants.
“It always seems impossible, until it’s done” and this is what they followed. I am delighted to announce that we have found our thought leaders of the Analytics Industry. Here are the winners of “AV Blogathon” who have found their way to become an inspiration for many other Data Scientists.
