It is not easy for any single discipline to analyse it. Hence, this new discipline of Data Science draws from a number of fields like Statistics and Computer Science to automate the tasks like collection, formation, preparation, analysis, visualisation, management and preservation of large collection of Big Data. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field about scientific methods, processes and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms. In 2010, with the new abundance of data, it made possible for companies to make their product/service better with the date driven approach rather that knowledge driven approach. That’s why more than 70 % businesses in the world had already invested in Big Data. Even if the sector is growing rapidly, there is a shortage for skilled Data Scientists. Data scientists are the real problem solver/analysts for the company to improve its products/services. These are the professionals who identify the different patterns, notice the current trends in the industry, and make new discoveries with the relative data. Data Scientists are in huge demand all around the world. Reports states that the number of data scientists will reach more than 25 % by 2020.
