My skill set has been sharpened, I've learnt new skills, and improved my competency.
As part of my upskilling, I searched for programs that could help achieve that and came across upGrad and enrolled. It has been a really enlightening journey and one that I've thoroughly enjoyed. My skill set has been sharpened, I've learnt new skills, and improved my competency. I've also connected and made friends with some really awesome and like-minded people along the way and thus I've enlarged my network. Part of my success was that I was invited by the Vice Chancellor of one of the Universities in South Africa to address the executive council on a large language model i.e ChatGPT, and its impact on research.

upGgrad has been immensely gratifying and afforded me a comprehensive and enriching learning experience
Embarking on my educational journey with Upgrad has been one of the most pivotal decisions I have made in my professional growth. Reflecting on this experience, I can confidently state that I have absolutely no regrets. The programs provided by Upgrad have been immensely gratifying and afforded me a comprehensive and enriching learning experience that I have sought for many years. Prior to discovering Upgrad, my endeavor to find a robust and industry-aligned Data Science program was quite arduous. I dedicated a full two years exploring various online platforms, hoping to stumble upon a curriculum that would captivate my interest and significantly enhance my expertise in this field. Despite my efforts, I found myself trapped in a perpetual cycle of starting anew with each program, never encountering one that met my expectations or managed to keep me engaged long enough to witness substantial progress. However, my trajectory took a promising turn when I came across Upgrad. The Executive Program in Data Science, offered in collaboration with IIIT Bangalore, proved to be a game-changer for me. Within the initial few months of enrollment, I experienced remarkable advancement, serving as a testament to the caliber and comprehensiveness of the curriculum crafted by Upgrad and its academic partners. The subsequent phase of my education, the LJMU MSC in Data Science, further enhanced my learning experience. This particular segment of the program was undoubtedly rigorous and replete with challenges. However, it was precisely these challenges that rendered the journey incredibly fulfilling. The demanding curriculum pushed me to my limits, refining my analytical skills, deepening my comprehension of intricate data science concepts, and equipping me with the confidence and professionalism required to tackle real-world problems. Upgrad's learning platform, with its blend of live online sessions and recorded sessions, coupled with the unceasing support from mentors and the vibrant community of peers, has played a pivotal role in my personal growth. The hands-on projects and case studies were particularly advantageous, enabling me to apply the knowledge acquired in a practical context, thereby solidifying my understanding and proficiency in data science. My educational expedition with Upgrad has been revolutionary. The knowledge and skills I have acquired have not only elevated my professional standing but have also unlocked a plethora of opportunities in the realm of data science. I am immensely grateful to Upgrad and its academic partners for providing such a meticulously structured and impactful program. For anyone looking to advance their career in data science or any other field, I wholeheartedly endorse Upgrad without reservation.

The journey with upGrad has been exciting
It was initially tough to make the decision to resume academics, being a busy working professional with 15+ years of experience. But after the enrollment process, the journey with upGrad has been exciting, with weekend mentored classes and expert clarifications. The deadlines sometimes were aggressive, but I always had fun completing them with support from upGrad mentors and teaching assistants whenever required. As I complete Executive PG from IIIT Bangalore,I plan to continue my Masters with UK's LJMU as planned. The completion of my PG Executive journey has given me higher visibility at my IT workplace and has given me a market boost with several job opportunities knocking on my door almost every now and then from US Companies. Once I complete my master's, I plan to join Product Based companies in the US and plan for any new aspirations as things demand. Thank you Team upGrad for all your Support.
