As documented by Sanjiv Vishwanathan
I am an information technology industry professional with an experience of more than 19 years. I have expertise in industry influencer relations, strategic research and intelligence, data analysis, and customer support for large global, mid-sized, and small organisations. I focus on learning and upgrading myself. I like to explore new domains and enhance my skill set to achieve my life goals. Simplilearn has played an essential role in helping me learn a new skill and get closer to my dream.
The Journey
I completed my Bachelor of Engineering from Vivekanand Education Society’s Institute Of Technology. I started working as a Services Engineer for Transweigh India Ltd and joined Accenture as a Technical Support Executive. I also worked for Ugam Solutions and Datamatics Global Services. Later I did MBA from SVKM’s Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS). I worked for Capgemini for almost 7 and a half years and switched to become a freelance career coach at Mindler. Currently, I am working as an Associate Director Global Analyst Relations at Virtusa.
The Challenge
I have been working as a professional in the IT industry for more than 15 years now. I have always wanted to work in the marketing industry. I was not getting any great opportunities to switch my domain. The marketing industry has advanced in the past few years. People are now entering the domain of digital marketing. For a long time, I wanted to change my career path and work only in the marketing sector. From being an IT professional as a Systems Engineer to becoming a marketing professional as an Associate Director Global Analyst Relations, the road has been filled with great experiences and learnings.
Simplilearn Solution
Once I decided to switch my career path, I researched what skills I needed to add to get into digital marketing. After getting an idea about the skills, I researched online courses that can help me gain in-depth knowledge, proper guidance, and a practical understanding of the concepts. I was looking for an elaborate program with all the lessons for the concepts I wanted to learn. I read about Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program In Digital Transformation course on several websites. I contacted Simplilearn customer care service to better understand the course details and more.
Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program In Digital Transformation is a well-crafted course for every individual who wants to start a career in the digital marketing industry. The course is taught by industry experts, which is a great experience. The curriculum was well-designed and comprehensive. The assignments, videos, Q&A sessions, and digital teaching with various hands-on practicals were quite helpful. The projects and assignments helped me gain exposure to learning a lot of market-relevant execution of various concepts.
