Filling The Big Data Talent Gap

Malaysia is making steady progress in becoming a big data and analytics (BDA) hub in Southeast Asia. According to MDEC’s CEO, there are 22 multinational BDA companies from 6 countries setup in Malaysia as of August 2016. That number is expected to grow however, talent is something that may come as a roadblock for this growth. We speak to Dr Nikhil Sinha, Chief Business Officer at Coursera about how Malaysia can fill the talent gap and become a talent hub for Asia.
