Lokesh Lohar
Data Scientist @ Ipsator
I would like to express my gratitude to all the Prepleaf mentors for their unwavering support and assistance during the course. Learning Data Analytics technologies like SQL, Python, Advanced Excel, and Tableau, as well as business skills like Guesstimates and Case Studies, was a fantastic experience for me, and it helped me land a position as a Data Analyst with Ipsator Analytics. Mentor-led mock interviews enhanced my confidence in facing interviews, which proved to be quite beneficial throughout placements.
Subha M.
Consultant @ EXL
I started my Prepleaf journey with just a simple thought of landing a job in data analytics. Throughout the five months in this course, dedication is the only thing that this course requires. Course is very extensive and covers a lot of topics: SQL, Advanced Excel, Python, Probability and statistics, ML as well as communication skills and business acumen. Mentors for each of the course are well experienced and they're constantly just a text away for a practice session. Especially towards the end of the course; peer learning and mentors gave me the extra edge to crack the interview.
Keshav Rathore
Data Analyst @ CashBook
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to team prepleaf and all the mentors for their constant support and guidance throughout the 5 months of my placement preparation which ultimately helped me bag a job as a data analyst at Casbook. Learned and got familiar with several data analysis tools like Excel, SQL, Python, ML and Tableau. Classes were well structured, personalized attention was given and all the doubts were solved as soon as possible. All in all, it was a pleasant journey where I made new friends, learned new skills, did some nice projects and got placed.
Gangadhar Pothala
Consultant @ EXL
I would like to express my gratitude to all the Prepleaf Mentors for their constant support and guidance through out my placement preparation. The beauty in prepleaf Structure is not only in teaching data analysis tools like Python, Excel, SQL, Tableau and ML but also in Interview handling techniques. This Helps me to grab an opportunity as a Consultant at EXL Service. They supported me Technically and morally every time with personalized attention. This is the platform where I met many great brains and worked together on assignments, projects and learned new skills
I joined Prepleaf as an amateur with zero knowledge in any of the skills required for the analytics and data science. Initially i had doubts whether all of this will be possible in this short term but the Prepleaf team handled it well and in a structured way. There was always constant support and monitoring whether the job is being done in the given time or not. So to sum this up,Prepleaf gave me the skills and the confidence required to achieve the job i dreamt of.

I started my Data Analytics journey from Prepleaf course. Course is structured in such a way that a student like me who don't come to programming background can learn DA skills. After completion of course I have basis understanding of software like Python, SQL, Tableau etc. I am able to apply my learning by doing course projects and got real world knowledge for how to apply DA skills. I would like to thank Kunj sir and Aman sir for their support and giving me opportunity to learn DA skills.
