In addition to the individuals, the academy has been conducting onsite training or through virtual classrooms for corporates depending on their choice. Vohra said that “over 5,000 professionals participated in such programmes from 150 corporates for over 8,000 learning hours for their analytics and big data training needs”.

Commenting on the training on analytics, Jigsaw Academy COO and co-founder Sarita Digumarti said, “We believe that the future of analytics is poised to soar, and that we will play a crucial role in identifying and nurturing talent in analytics worldwide.
