As documented by Nayan Pandya

I live in Bangalore, Karnataka. My background is in mechanical engineering. I received my M.Tech from IIT Bombay, and worked with companies like Whirlpool and Bluestar in mid-level managerial roles. I have always been drawn to R&D and analytics, and since 2015, I have been at Ingersoll Rand, handling work related to IoT Sensor Data Analytics, dashboard creation, and identifying false machines.

I was applying machine learning tools for predictive and prescriptive R, but felt my skill set was limited and wanted more training. I was interested in learning Python and more advanced techniques like AI/ML. 

I started to research courses and eventually decided to take Simplilearn’s course on AI and ML. I felt Simplilearn’s course curriculum was more comprehensive than others. I also liked the course’s affiliation with Purdue University, and the certification I received upon course completion was an added advantage. 

The learning experience was very enriching. The instructors were very experienced in AI/ML. They helped me understand the material and clear up any questions I had. I was also able to enroll in weekend classes, so didn’t face any schedule issues. That made the entire learning experience easier.

After the course, I was able to establish myself as a subject matter expert. Initially, I didn’t have much visibility at work. After I received certification, even the VP knew who I was! Simplilearn’s certification and the expertise I gained in AI/ML were key reasons the company promoted me to Engineering Manager, Data Science. The certification and the knowledge I gained will also help me secure new projects in the future.

I am thankful to Simplilearn for accelerating my career growth!
