Testimonials
Gaurav Singh
Data scientist,
Quantela Inc
upGrad did a great job in shaping my career. I did my masters from IIIT-Hyderabad in Machine Learning I need some
extra knowledge to go ahead and perform better than my peers. upGrad equipped me with that knowledge and
made my fundamentals so strong that I was confident enough to get a job off-campus. I was interviewed by Nvidia
for the position of Senior Solutions Architect (Deep Learning) for its partner company Fore Solutions Pvt. Ltd. there I
worked for more then 18 months in that company after that I thought to change my profile to Data Scientist there also
I found upGrad standing with helping hands to help me out in my transition. upGrad dedicated team of career
counselors guided me throughout my transition. They rolled out my profile in several companies and finally got
selected as Data Scientist with decent pay raise. Here I want to mention that my career transition process was
happening during a pandemic.
Abhishek Ranjan
Senior Data Scientist - Digital Machining,
SECO Tools India Pvt Limited
One of the critical aspecst of the course was dedication + routine + exploration. Whe I put myself into these modes
for self-study, the course became my playing field. I was able to make strong networks in my cohort. I was invited as
a guest speaker in the prestigious conference, Industry of Things in Singapore to speak about the role of AI and ML
in the cutting tool industry. Because of this program, my organisation was able to found a new Digital Machining
vertical in R&D Sweden and relocate me there as Senior Data Scientist - Digital Machining.
Radhakrishnan Ramanathan
Vice President - Big Data and Analytics,
Jio
I had taken this course as a passion due to 2 major reasons : My schooling (ME) was in abstract math & related
algorithms / operations research subjects. Hence more inclined towards various real analysis problems & its
interests. Second reason being, my current assignment is on big data analytics (Network optimisation and customer
analytics). Hence this course / specialisation has helped me in both these aspects.

Testimonials
Ram Krishn Mishra
Machine Learning instructor and researcher,
BITS Pilani Dubai Campus
If you are really thinking about being specialised in this area, IIIT B is one of the best places. This course will give you:
1. Deep theoretical understanding of AI and ML from experienced professors from IIIT Bangalore . 2. Theoretical
approach will be applied to practical problems with Python programming on real time data led by Industry experts.
Loveneet Kumar
Scientist D, Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR),
DRDO
At present, this is the most comprehensive and effective ML and Data science course available online. They
emphasize on implementation of techniques and approaches rather than theory. With lots of hands on it gives you
confidence to start with any real world problem if you have data.
