In today’s world, to keep up with the changing market trends, upskilling with relevant skills is extremely essential and Vishal did exactly that. Read further to learn more about his journey with Great Learning’s PGP Data Science and Business Analytics in his own words.
My Name is Vishal Srivastava. I am from Ghaziabad (U.P). I am currently working as a Business Analyst in OYO hotels and homes in the Supply department.
It was an amazing career transition for me as I was working as a Data Analyst for the past 4.5 years. However, during this course, I gave interviews within the organization and was promoted to a Business Analyst (Assistant Manager).
Earlier it was very difficult to give business insights to the leaders from the past datasets, but after learning Time Series Forecasting topics and the Tableau tool for visualization, things became pretty easier for me. I was able to share forecasting with appropriate logic and thoughts.
I got a promotion after learning these skills, where I was struggling for more than 2 years. I have created an automated dashboard wherein my major problem is solved now. I can give them real-time analytics and business insights, which not only help leaders to take appropriate action but also contribute to strategic planning.
I was looking for a good institute to enhance my skills in the business analytics domain. One of my friends (Sidhant Lakhan), who was already learning from here, recommended me to go ahead with Great Lakes Executive Education. As there was work from home due to lockdown, I had decided to learn something new and upskill myself.
The Mentored learning Session has really been helpful and important. Whenever I got stuck somewhere on a topic, I used to refer to the recording of the session, which helped me to perform well in the projects. These sessions are well structured. Nowadays, spending one or two hours with course videos boosts confidence before going to work.
