This Data Science training in Pondicherry boasts of more than 15 real-life, industry-based projects, emphasizing different domains. These projects help you grasp the more well-used concepts of Data Science and Big Data. Here are some of the projects you will encounter:

Capstone Project:

Description: You’ll undergo effective mentoring which will re-inforce your preparedness to tackle industry project attempting to resolve real-world business critical problem applying the tools/skills and technologies taught in this bootcamp program. The capstone project includes all the key points of data extraction, cleaning, and visualization, and how to build and tune models. You can also choose the domain/industry dataset you want to work on, based on whatever options are available.

After you successfully submit your project, you will earn a capstone certificate, showcasing your expanded learning and skills to potential employers.

Project 1: Products rating prediction for Amazon
Domain: E-commerce
Amazon, one of the top US-based e-commerce companies, habitually recommends products to customers that fall in categories that mesh with their past product activity and reviews. Amazon recommendation engine needs a boost of its capabilities - to help it predict non-rated product ratings, and subsequently have them added to the user recommendations.

Project 2: Improving customer experience for Comcast
Domain: Telecom
Description: Comcast, one of the top US-based global telecommunication companies, wants to take their customer service experience to the next level by locating problem areas that reduce customer satisfaction. Once these areas are found, Comcast wants a plan on how to solve this dilemma. The company is also looking for useful strategies that they can put in place to deliver the best customer experience. 

Project 3: Attrition Analysis for IBM
Domain: Workforce Analytics
Description: IBM is one of the United States’ oldest and most well-known IT companies. This computer giant wants you to pinpoint the factors that influence employee attrition. Also, using the parameters identified, the company would like to develop a logistics regression model that predicts the employee churn rate.

Project 4: Predict accurate sales for 45 Walmart stores, taking into consideration the impact of promotional markdown events. Walmart is one of America’s main retail stores. Figure out if macroeconomic factors like the Consumer Price Index, unemployment rate, etc., impact their sales.
Domain: Retail
Description: Walmart typically holds several promotional markdown events during the year. These markdowns usually revolve around popular holidays and annual events such as Labor Day, Thanksgiving, the Super Bowl, and of course, Christmas. The weeks with these holidays have a weighing factor five times higher in valuation than the normal, uneventful weeks. Walmart, however, is facing a challenge because of unanticipated demand, a situation made worse thanks to incorrect demand estimation. This flawed estimation results in the occasional stock shortfall. Macroeconomic factors like CPI, Unemployment Index, etc. can play an important role in predicting demand, but the company hasn’t yet figured out how to leverage these factors. Part of this project involves creating a model to highlight the effects of these promotional markdowns on the holiday weeks.

Project 5: Learn how top healthcare industry leaders use Data Science to improve their business in this data science course in Pondicherry.
Domain: HealthCare
Description: Predictive analytics is a valuable tool for many facets of healthcare, like mediating hospital readmissions, for example. But regardless of the industry, predictors offer the most value when they can be acted upon. In other words, historical and real-time data alone are useless until the company takes appropriate action. Furthermore, in order to predict the value and effectiveness of forecasting a trend and thereby change its behavior, you have to be able to reintroduce both the predictor and the intervention into the same workflow and system where the trend originally began.

Project 6: Work on an insurance-based real-life project to understand how insurance leaders like AIG, AXA, Berkshire Hathaway, etc., use Data Science.
Domain: Insurance
Description: According to data found in the 2013 Insurance Predictive Modeling Survey, predictive analytics have increased noticeably in the insurance industry, especially among the larger companies. The survey shows a predictive modeling boost across the industry, but the trends are inconsistent. For example, every insurance company writing over $1 billion in personal insurance uses predictive modeling, but companies who deal with less than $1 billion are set in the 69% utilization range.

Project 7: See how large banks like Bank of America, Citigroup, ICICI, HDFC, etc. use Data Science to stay ahead of their competition. 
Domain: Banking
Description: A Portuguese banking institution launched a marketing campaign to give potential customers a compelling reason to invest their money in a bank term deposit. The bank used phone calls for this marketing campaign. Unfortunately, sometimes a customer got multiple calls from the campaign. Your job is to analyze all the relevant data obtained from this marketing campaign.

Project 8: Understand how stock markets like NASDAQ, NSE, and BSE leverage Data Science and Analytics to gather consumable data from complex data sets.
Domain: Stock Market
Description: You will use the Yahoo data reader to import data from the following companies: Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Yahoo. You must then use this data to perform fundamental analytics functions such as plotting closing price, plotting stock trade by volume, running daily return analysis, and using pair plots to show the correlations between stocks.

Project 9: Learn how Data Science is used in the field of engineering by working on this case study of MovieLens Dataset Analysis.
Domain: Engineering
Description: The GroupLens Research Project is a research group at the University of Minnesota’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The researchers are involved in several projects relating to collaborative filtering, information filtering, and recommender systems.

Project 10: Explore how top retail companies like Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. utilize Data Science to analyze and optimize their product placements and stock inventory.
Domain: Retail
Description: Big businesses use Analytics to optimize their product shelf placement in stores and their warehouse inventory. This project helps participants learn about the daily cycle of product optimization, taking it from the warehouse to the shelves. This cycle provides the company with insights into regular happenings in the retail sector.
