I have always been a person who strives for growth and enjoys upskilling my knowledge. I aim to give my 100% to everything I do. Enhancing my skills and learning new technologies is the only way by which I can have progressive career growth. All thanks to Simplilearn, they helped kickstart a great career and my dream to work as Business Analyst.
The Journey
I come from a hospitality background. After graduating from IHM, Hyderabad, I pursued my MBA from Amity University. I joined McDonald’s as an Assistant Manager and worked there for almost 3 years. With a good experience, I switched my job and joined Cult.fit, Hyderabad, as a Facilities Operations Manager. I recently joined Qualcomm in Hyderabad and work as a Business Systems Analyst.
The Challenge
The hospitality industry was hit hard when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. The industry suffered huge losses, and people were even losing their jobs. The industry is still recovering from the losses. I have been working in the hospitality industry for the past 5 years. Even after 5 years, my CTC didn’t meet my expectations, and I couldn’t see any scope for my career growth.
I wanted to enhance my skills and have a progressive career. Around a year back, I learned about business analysis and started researching its scope. I found it to be an exciting and evolving option. So, I decided to switch my career. From working as a Facilities Operations Manager to working as a Business Analyst, my journey has been a smooth ride.

As someone with limited knowledge in the field of business analysis, I was searching for a program that would provide me with a solid foundation in business analysis and practical experience. I researched online courses that would provide me with the right guidance and skills to have a successful career. Before choosing Simplilearn, I looked around the internet for reviews on Simplilearn and got very positive feedback.
