The current wave of technological change around AI and ML is affecting many companies. There is a general fear that people, especially those working with IT companies, will become less relevant due to the rapid evolution of technologies and changing job requirements. But today, every sector needs to adapt as technology advances. In India, companies don’t want only want engineers to learn new technologies but engender greater familiarity and insight into new-age technologies and skills. As a result, companies are gradually adopting a mindset that focuses on growth and lifelong learning across verticals. Our curriculum is not only centered for individuals willing to start their career, but also for industry professionals who want to advance in their respective fields. Hence, bridging the skills-demand gap prevalent today.
