Testimonial
Abhinav Dhiman
Data Science Associate ZS Associates, New Delhi IIT Kharagpur - Batch of 2015

I have been associated with ZS since graduating from college in June'15 and the experience till date has been enthralling. I have had tremendous opportunities to hone and test my skills in and out of strict project deadlines. From implementing cool algorithms to even designing new ones, ZS encourages and appreciates the efforts put in. Given the popularity of data science in current scenario, I have worked on projects that require deep investigation around existing machine learning techniques and using the same to make better predictions.

ZS is a great place to start your career as majority of the crowd is like minded and the ambience is enriching to grow.
