Hi, I am Priya Rawat. I was born & brought up in the small town of Almora, Uttarakhand. I was pursuing my degree during lockdown, but it wasn't aligned to my goals as I wanted something more from my career. That's when I began exploring various career options. Amidst this, I was highly intrigued by ads that randomly popped up on my social media feed. As I went deeper into my subject, my interest in digital marketing started to grow. I watched several online videos to learn about Digital Marketing. One day, one of my family friends told me about upGrad Campus so I joined the Online Certification Programme instead of pursuing a master’s degree as I thought it would save me a lot of time and help me level up quickly. That's exactly what happened! The course not only taught me Digital Marketing but also improved my excel, analytical and communication skills. As a result, recently I got placed in one of the top MNC in their digital space & hence I am super excited to join and learn further. Thank you upGrad Campus!

I'm Dnyanesh Mali, and I come from a middle-class household. My parents are teachers, and they have helped me earn my engineering degree. In 2021, I graduated from Sinhgad College in Pune with a mechanical engineering degree. I had studied system design in mechanicals but had no prior coding skills. I come from a non-IT background, but thanks to the course framework, the principles and essentials of the MERN stack, as well as Linux and Git, were addressed.

I'm Sonali, from Satara, Maharashtra. I got into an engineering college because my mother wanted me to become an engineer. However, the program was unclear and lacked guidance, so I decided on electronics engineering. I discovered my interest in coding while earning my degree, so as soon as I graduated I started looking for a course that would expand my expertise. I discovered the upGrad-KH PRISM platform and the online upGrad course. With the support of the PRISM platform, I was able to finish my project and conduct practical training on it. I would recommend other students to concentrate on their coursework, projects, and complete their tests. I finished my course, and within a month, I got placed post-completion of my course. Thank you, Knowledgehut and upGrad, for the support and learning experience.

I am excited to share my experience with the AI integrated Data Science course offered by upGrad Campus. Taking this course was a turning point in my career journey, and I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for the invaluable knowledge and skills it provided. Before enroling in the course, I was eager to learn Data Analysis and Data Science concepts. However, I lacked the necessary expertise to achieve them. The well-structured curriculum and comprehensive content of the course immediately caught my attention, and I knew it was the right fit for me. Throughout the program, I was consistently impressed by the calibre of the instructors and their dedication to ensuring our success. They went above and beyond to make complex concepts accessible and provided real-world examples that enriched our learning experience. The placement support was also marvelous, and I secured a great package. A heartfelt thank you to the entire upGrad Campus team for their dedication to empowering professionals and fostering a supportive learning environment.

I was working for 4 years in the financial market & I wanted to get done with my MBA. But I was confused whether I should do it online or offline because there are multiple places that offer MBA. So the reason that I opted for this MBA is the course curriculum. The assignments are so practical. I have matched the course curriculum with multiple Universities back home as well. So this is my number 1 reason for making this decision. The GGU community is so good. The people there are super helpful, the faculty, the people who are working there, the students. They make you feel home as soon as you are here! With upGrad in the online part, I met a lot of people who were having far better work experience than me. It was a knowledge-sharing setup with them - knowing about their experience, career, how they have grown and why are they doing their MBA at this point in their life. This encouraged me to go for it even more! After my graduation, I’m looking for a client-facing advisory role which is going to be based in financial products.

In 2013, I embarked on a journey meant to lead me to my dreams. Armed with a B.Tech degree, I joined Tech Mahindra as a software engineer. However, destiny had a different plan for me. As I began preparing for the GMAT to pursue my dream of a U.S. master's degree, life threw a curveball. My world was rocked when I received the devastating news that my beloved mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. At the time, I was working in Bangalore, but I knew I had to be there for my mom. With unwavering determination, I negotiated with my strict manager and convinced them to relocate me to Hyderabad so I could care for her during her treatment. For the next two years, our family went through unimaginable hardships as my mother endured painful chemotherapy. The financial strain was immense, depleting our savings, and my father had to leave his job in the Middle East to be with us. Despite our efforts, we tragically lost my mother. To cover the substantial medical expenses, I had to take a loan of 20 lakhs, plunging me into a sea of debt. My dreams of studying abroad seemed distant and unattainable. However, life has a remarkable way of testing our resilience. I slowly began rebuilding my professional life, determined to conquer my financial woes. By 2020, I had successfully cleared my debts, but the idea of pursuing a master's degree in the U.S. still felt financially out of reach. That's when fate intervened again. I discovered an opportunity that not only aligned with my aspirations but also seemed tailor-made for my circumstances. upGrad had introduced a Hybrid Master's program in the U.S. that fell perfectly within my budget. This was the chance I had been waiting for, and I was determined not to let it slip through my fingers. With unwavering determination and an unyielding spirit, I took the plunge and enrolled in this program that would finally fulfill my dream of studying abroad. This journey, marked by trials and tribulations, has taught me that setbacks are not the end of the road; they are merely detours on the path to greatness. My philosophy of life has always been, "The harder you fall, the stronger you rise." In the face of adversity, I learned to rise stronger, more resilient, and more determined than ever. My story is a testament that dreams, no matter how distant they may seem, can be achieved with determination, courage, and the willingness to seize every opportunity that comes our way. So, when life tests your resolve, remember that it might just be preparing you for something even more remarkable. This was possible only because upGrad has made my journey smoother by bringing in such affordable programs, allowing people with economic challenges to conquer their unfulfilled dreams of studying abroad.

I enrolled in PGP IMTG after 11 years out of school, so it wasn't easy. I had an ambition to rise to the top of my field post my GMBA and I’m happy having moved to P&G as an NPD Manager with a satisfactory hike, thanks to upGrad.
