A K H I L KO DA L I
Data Analyst, Indegene

“I had three things in mind: placements, good content to learn, and real-time examples.
Great Learning ticked off all three requirements. The teaching staff is well experienced and
enriched. Numerous real-world examples were given to us. The course topics were well
explained. I gained comprehensive knowledge about all the course topics even though I
was starting from scratch. Mock interviews and interviews with industry experts were
conducted. This helped me concentrate on my strengths and figure out what my weakness
is. I worked hard based on the feedback provided and cracked my very first interview at
Indegene Private Ltd, Bangalore.”

80% of learners recommend this program to their peers.

AISHWARYA SARDA
Business Analyst, Uber

“After completing around 4 and a half months of the program, I had applied for
Uber. The knowledge that I gained through the course really helped to crack the
interview. This program is ideal for anyone who is looking for a transition into the
field of Data Science. The curriculum is very well designed and the placement
support is really good.”

SAI RAMYA MACHAVARAPU

Business Analyst, Mercedes Benz

“PGP-DSE is a top-notch program for students aspiring to make a career in the field
of data science. The program has a well-designed course-content and structure and
is taught by the best faculty who made us think outside the box constantly. After
the completion of the program the assistance provided by the placement team was
impeccable, they guided us at every step from the interview preparation to
confidently cracking the interviews. Joining Great Lakes was the biggest milestone
in my career.”

SHAWRYA SHARMA
Advanced Insight Analyst, Expedia Group

“It's been 2 years since the completion of my DSE program. In just 2 years, I was
able to get an exponential salary hike of around 500%, compared to where I was
before joining the course. This has been possible only because of the platform that
great learning had initially provided.”

 YASH AGARWAL
Senior COE Analyst, Uber

“As a consultant in the industry, I couldn't afford the risk of being unaware of using
machine learning as a tool to investigate/predict or model the industry dynamics.
Joining here was my first choice and it proved to be the best for me. I am being
approached by employers for opportunities of my interest. I would recommend this
to professionals and students with the desire to undergo training and develop a
logical understanding of Data Science. “Great Experience at Great Learning.”

RITESH CHOUDHURY
Application Development Analyst, Accenture

“The course was structured well. I had some prior knowledge about Data
Engineering but didn’t know Python coding, now I can confidently say that I am
proficient in this domain. The career support was excellent, the program managers
helped prepare for interviews and told me what changes to make in my resume,
what my weak points were and how exactly I can work to improve. My advice to
anyone who will take up this course would be to listen to your faculty. They want
the best for you and will help you achieve your goals.”

RAMYA T
Consultant Data Scientist, Saksoft

“As a fresher, I knew very little about data science but at the end of the program, I
was well-versed with all the industry-relevant tools and topics. It was the ideal and
the best way to learn data science. All the concepts were taught during this
program with hands-on training on topics like text mining, Hadoop, SQL etc. All the
Faculty were really great and I really love the way this program is structured.”

MAHENDRA SHAJI
Analytics Consultant, Fractal Analytics

“2-year career gap didn’t stop me from bagging a position as a consultant in fractal
analytics. Thank you Great Learning.”

 SURAJ SURESH
Data Scientist, DXC Technology

“Thanks to the Data Science and Engineering program at Great Lakes, I had 2
offers, one from DXC Technology and another from Razorthink. Taking this course
to upskill myself was one of the best decisions I’ve made.”

APOORVA KRISHNAN ARUNACHALAM

Data Analyst, Latent View Analytics

“One who really puts in hard work and makes use of whatever that has been taught
in this course will truly shine in both their career and life. I would definitely
recommend Great Learning to anyone out there who is confused about how and
where to start a career in data science. This is the best place to start your career.”

GURDEEP CHAWLA
Business Analyst, Oyo

“Coming from a sales and marketing background, I never thought I would end up in
a successful company like OYO as a business analyst. All thanks to the Great Lakes
team. The kind of learning they provided is industry standard. The team helped me
throughout the curriculum whenever needed, be it a webinar, remedial sessions, or
personal sessions. Thank you once again for all the support. Happy to be a member
of the Great Lakes Family.”

DIPTANIL BHOWMIK
Consultant, Fractal Analytics

“The initial classes were easy but as the major topics came in, it needed an extra
effort and the whole management was very helpful with extra classes and other
guidance as required. The placement team was an important part of the program
as many top-notch companies were brought in and a placement boot camp was
set-up for each company. I got an offer from Fractal Analytics as a consultant
analyst which gave a great career boost to me being a fresher. The company is
great to work for.”
