About the Company

Ride-sharing services like Uber have revolutionized transportation by providing convenient and affordable rides.

Bridging the gap

The fare amount of a ride is influenced by various factors such as distance, duration, traffic conditions, time of day, and demand. Your goal is to develop a regression model that can predict the fare amount based on these factors. You will work with a dataset that includes historical ride data, including the fare amount and relevant features.

Meet Our Certified Menterns

It was amazing! I learnt so many things like creating engagement on social media platforms. The 1:1 with mentors were super helpful. I learnt how to create Instagram ads, identify goals & do competitor analysis- so many things.

There was a lot of interactive sessions with Mentors. The Menternship I completed gave me a new perspective to how work has to be done. I truly enjoyed working with real figures & actual industry case studies.

My experience was great as I got a chance to explore subjects like Analytics which are difficult to look for. The Menternship allowed to get subject knowledge and see what goes behind the making and delivering of a product.

My experience was very useful as I learnt so much about Fleet Management & Digital Marketing connected to the real-world scenario. I learnt how to actually work with social media channels like IG & Facebook.
