My name is Aayush. I finished my engineering in Information Technology from Alliance University, Bengaluru in 2018.

Why I am in Data Science was mainly to be able to predict someone’s sales even before they know that they are going to buy it or not. That thought gave me a really happy feeling, especially I had a start-up of my own. I come from an entrepreneur background – my parents and sisters are in entrepreneurs. I learnt a lot of stuff that data analyst solves in the business.

After seeing various placements in different companies, I realized the course structure the Manipal ProLearn has given us covers at least a small part of every single domain possible in data science. The faculties are from the business and they have worked in the market for a specific number of years. We were able to reach out to them at any time.

The best thing we found here is we had to give feedback to every faculty member after two classes. If the feedback is bad, they take time to interact with us to know our perception and they replace the faculty member if required.

The placement process they start at the beginning of the third semester. By that time, we had a good idea of all the main topics, that companies are looking for. I got a good number of opportunities. I had four-five interviews back-to-back in a week. After a couple of rounds, the BigBasket selected me. The first thing I did when I got to know the news is calling my parents. They were really happy.

I am thankful to Manipal ProLearn and really grateful that I got placed in BigBasket.
