During his recent trip to India, Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer, Tableau sat down for a chat with Dataquest and opened his mind and experience decks. In this quick tetea-tete, he helps us make sense of the new forces, storms, and icebergs in data science and analytics.

The last two years have been pivotal for data and analytics - has anything changed for India in a big way when you look at this market today?

I will start with the global point-of-view, where we have been witnessing a new era of data. Specially with the unprecedented economic and political change we have been navigating. Data helps businesses to navigate a crisis. Businesses have realized this power. They know that now is the time to use data effectively. And data transformation is at the heart of every digital transformation. In India too, people are trying to build this power and improve data effectiveness. Data is the new air. It's the new water. Businesses can't do without it.

Take for example-Mahindra Finance that democratized data across the business-from HR to marketing-with a governance framework in place. Today, 3,000 employees, including senior decision-makers, rely on Tableau to make data-driven decisions, increasing the firm's productivity and reducing costs.

Is that where Low-Code Al or Analyticsas-a-Service chime in?
