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.

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.

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.
