In a World Filled with Data, What's missing?
Dev Bhatia
CEO -SRCH2
We live in a data-driven world. New apps, devices and platforms — from social to mobile — have enabled end-users to connect, interact and share. We are building new businesses, and creating new ideas, which would not have been possible even five years ago.
All of this has been enabled by a technology revolution, which has happened largely outside the purview of the average person. In the last five years, the traditional data stack has been revised, piece by piece. Enterprises are tapping unstructured and semi-structured data, in robust environments at ever lower costs, and the benefits have been endless.
Not just technologies, but everyday activities have been upended. Buying a car is not what it used to be. Or dating, or dining, or banking, or watching a movie or basketball game. Data is everywhere.
