Hi all, We are happy to announce that ml-india.org has launched *Data Angels <http://ml-india.org/data-angels/>* – angel investors and advisors for the most innovative machine learning led companies from India. These angels have expertise in machine learning and/or experience in building successful technology companies.

India draws a blank. This needs to change. There is hardly any company from India with worldwide respect for its innovative product or technology.
