As documented by Sai Tharun.
I am Sai Tharun, currently working as a Project Manager in the Engineering & Infrastructure domain at DHL Express. Over the course of my 6-year career, I have explored different areas and realized that the banking sector did not align with my career aspirations. It was through this exploration that I found my true passion for Logistics and began working in Custom Clearance, a demanding yet rewarding job. During this time, I dedicated myself to learning everything about clearance processes, effectively managing a team of 50 individuals, and representing one of the world’s largest logistics companies to government regulatory authorities. My hard work paid off, and I was promoted to the role of a Project Manager. However, I recognized the need to expand my areas of expertise, particularly in Lean Six Sigma, which led me to choose Simplilearn for upskilling. After completing the certification, I gained the opportunity to work on new projects in this field and also received a 10% salary increase.
Personally, my professional journey has encompassed diverse domains, and I have recently found my passion in Project Management. In 2018, I pursued an MBA in Human Resources and Operation Management from NMIMS. With six years of working experience, my journey has been marked by continuous learning and growth.
Enrollment Decision and Career Goals:
I chose to upskill myself was because I knew I lacked the necessary lean six sigma skills to excel in my new projects in Project Management. I needed to upskill and decided on Simplilearn’s Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course.
My experience with Simplilearn:
The impact of the course on my career has been significant. After becoming certified, I was entrusted with numerous new projects and increased responsibilities, allowing me to broaden my areas of expertise and knowledge. The course has equipped me with the skills and knowledge, starting from scratch and progressing to an advanced level, making me qualified for these exciting projects within my organization. Additionally, I experienced a 10% increase in my salary, validating the value of upskilling.
