Introductions and Welcome

[MichaelG]

Welcome to the India User Group! It’s my great pleasure that we are launching this group to bring together users in India , foster increased connections, knowledge sharing, and great events.

Over the next few days you can look forward to announcements about our very first online event, as well as those kind members who have volunteered to step up and take the organizational lead on the group. 

For now let’s get to know each other! I’ll start below and I encourage others to share their:

• Name
• Role & company or organisation
• Experience with Dataiku DSS 

Now is also a great time to join the group! That way you can stay up to date with the latest conversations, and get informed about upcoming events. Join using the 'join group' button on the main group page.

I’m Michael Grayson (as the eagled eyed might have deduced from my username!), I’m delighted to be a Community Manager at Dataiku and my focus is currently on India. I look forward to getting to know many of you as I work to increase our engagement with our many active Indian users of DSS, as well as helping to shape this group to your ideas and needs!

In terms of my DSS experience I’m pleased to hold a Core Designer Certificate but my knowledge more or less stops there. Looking forward to hearing from those of you with more insight into DSS and data science generally!

Hi everyone and welcome to the India User Group! I’m Daria, Community & Advocacy Coordinator, based at Dataiku Paris office. I’m working on the development of Community Programs such as the Neurons one and the User Groups. And I'm excited to be supporting Michael with the India Group's launch. Let's learn together from each other's data science journeys and experiences on our collaborative space 🙂

As a light user, I took the Core Designer learning path, too. My favorite recipe is the Prepare one in Dataiku DSS. I also enjoy playing with plugins and reviewing Charts, among other features.

Looking forward to connecting with you all! Feel free to reach out to us anytime with any suggestions and thoughts that you have. Always happy to help!
