    I’ve spent more than 10yrs working in tech and I felt I needed to upskill myself in the latest technologies. I was looking for something that is rigorous and can help act as a differentiator for me in new projects. That’s how I landed on upGrad - I originally joined their certification course in Data Science, but then upgraded to their Executive course to take advantage of the various options available. I like that I can customize my experience & pick different paths depending on what I like.
