I love this event. This is the third year and I don't think anybody else has pulled of anything quite like this. There have been lot of big data conferences, but nowhere else have I really felt that the industry gets together with this kind of vibe, and everybody is really happy to be here. There are a lot of good sessions over three days. Everywhere else they stumble largely on the quality of the session, but Cypher has great sessions. The conference is completely packed and I heard there are 600-700 people out here. That's completely phenomenal. Keep doing it.

It’s always good to come here and meet a lot of diverse people from the industry and hear their points of view. It turns out to be a bigger reunion every time, and is the one place where the who’s who of the analytics industry can be found. The kind of topics that Cypher curates each year brings the right balance of the industry perspective and a fair amount of depth of the techniques. The best part is that it brings the academia and the industry together. I really enjoyed my time here.

Cypher was a very good experience. I met a lot of interesting people. It had nice talks— scientific talks, application talks, talks on quantum computing, deep learning, application across public policy, finance and others. It is very interesting to see how people are growing and how these techniques are getting deeper across all kinds of verticals and industries. It is enlightening to know that people are taking the analytics part seriously. It was a very great experience.

It’s a great event. It’s my first time attending Cypher and I never knew that participation would be so diverse and vast. Analytics has largely been ignored in this country and I think Cypher is doing a great job by bringing all the minds together. I am sure people will recognise that Analytics India Magazine and Cypher had a great part to play in the analytical journey that India is going through.

This is my second year at Cypher. It is a great place, with a lot of people coming together and sharing their ideas. A great place to network and learn. Cypher team is doing a phenomenal work here. Analytics India Magazine itself has seen a tremendous growth. Over the years, I have seen a lot of people reading it and getting value out of it. It has given a lot of interesting articles and introduced a lot of people to the analytics world. People have been doing some phenomenal work inside their organisation and we didn't realise it. I think this is a great way of bringing that information out.

Cypher is a good conference. It is the first time that I have attended a conference at this scale. I would like to thank Bhasker for inviting me to be a part of it. I met a lot of interesting people here, and there is a lot of energy in this place. Certainly a great experience and is worth coming back again to.

“Cypher is a wonderful place. This the third time that I am coming here and I think I will come here again and again. You meet many interesting people. You hear so many nice thoughts. Until you hear from others, you only get into your own echochamber. You only think about you and your students. Especially for teachers when they talk to students they always think I know more than others. That's why they need to come out of the echochamber and to a place like this where you hear others who are more knowledgeable about the world than you are. It kind of puts in your place.”

“Cypher is pretty interesting.  In fact, there are a number of big data events and analytics events that in the country and the world and so on. One way or another, Bhasker and his team have given it a certain characteristic that is hard to distinguish from a family event. It is almost like a yearly pilgrimage of sorts. It looks really good and interesting. And a number of talks that that kind of cover the ground. There is no restriction on where it limits and so on as it relates to AI and analytics. And much as the subject itself, the room for a lot of topics is very interesting.”

Great. This is the first time I attended Cypher. I think it's really nice because it's very focused, all the people who are here are serious about analytics and so you have intelligent conversations. I think it's a great place to understand what's happening in this industry, which way is the future going and also a great place to brand yourself and get known by people. These are good opportunities for us

Cypher has a fantastic vibe which is academically inclined and practically interwoven with examples and case studies. I am sure Cypher 2018 will be a resounding success all through, with the commitment and passion that Analytics India Magazine has shown. It was a pleasure attending the event last year — it was inspiring and I got to meet so many interesting people and learn from them. The whole event is an exhilarating experience.
