Future-Proof Your Career in Data, Thrive Amidst a Culture of Learning at Publicis Sapient
At Publicis Sapient (PS), we’re big on fostering a culture of continuous learning. We also won the prestigious ‘Data Engineering Company of the Year’ award for the second year at the Data Engineering Summit’24.
Recently, I attended an internal knowledge-sharing session where some of our senior Data leaders — Hariharan Nagarajan (Director, Technology), Abhishek Kumar (Senior Director, Data Science), and Parmjeet Virdi (Director, Data Analytics) — shared their insights on how PS fosters the culture of learning and how it’s a key enabler for our people in their journey towards a future-proof career. Their passion for these values was truly inspiring and I am sharing some key takeaways here.
At PS, our core values are weaved into the very fabric of our work environment. Here are some snippets of our leaders sharing their experiences of our core values.
Hariharan Nagarajan emphasizes the importance of continuous learning: “While core skills like data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) remain essential, the future belongs to those who can leverage new technologies and adapt to evolving landscapes. At PS, we provide a wealth of learning resources — from internal training programs to industry-leading platforms — to empower our engineers to stay ahead of the curve.”
PS is committed to innovation and creating cutting-edge tech solutions. Abhishek Kumar shares his experience working with GenAI: “The data science landscape is rapidly changing, and PS takes pride in being at the forefront of this evolution. We have dedicated innovation teams constantly exploring emerging technologies like Generative AI (GenAI) and their potential impact. This allows us to not only solve current problems but also anticipate future needs for our clients.”
Parmjeet Virdi narrates her own experience of working in a collaborative and supportive environment: “PS fosters a culture of psychological safety, where asking questions, taking risks, and experimenting are encouraged. We believe in breaking down silos and fostering cross-functional collaboration. This exchange of diverse perspectives not only leads to innovative solutions but also empowers our Data Analysts to become strategic thinkers and storytellers with data.”
By prioritizing these core values, PS cultivates a thriving ecosystem where employees are constantly learning, innovating, and pushing boundaries. This translates not only to personal growth but also to cutting-edge solutions for our clients.
