Aditya Agrawal – My Transition to Director at LeadSquared with Data Analytics Course

The Need for Upskilling

When I first joined LeadSquared, I was eager to make an impact, but I soon realized that data-driven decision-making was the key to a successful business and lacked the same. While I had a strong understanding of business operations, I lacked data analysis skills to use data effectively. That’s when I decided to learn Data Analysis.

Why TechVidvan?

As a working professional, I needed a program that wasn’t just theoretical but gave me hands-on exposure to real-world business problems. I searched for online classes as I could not devote time to offline classes in the office. I spoke at many institutes, and when I asked them to connect with trainers, no one allowed me except at TechVidvan. Everyone just connected me with the admission team, who just faked the answers to many of my questions.

At TechVidvan, I spoke with the trainer, Rahul sir, who guided me on how to start and which course would be best for me. He told the complete way of his teaching that attracted me the most, and I decided to join it.

The Learning Experience – Turning Data into Strategy

TechVidvan online courses stood out because of their structured approach—focusing on practical applications, case studies, and industry-driven projects. Instead of just learning to use tools like SQL, Power BI, and Python, I was trained to analyze data, derive insights, and drive strategic decisions.

The mentors at TechVidvan played a huge role in helping me master data visualization concepts, SQL queries, and many other topics. Their guidance helped me transition from just understanding data to using it effectively in leadership discussions.

From Associate Director to Director – The Career Leap

Once I started applying my newly learned skills, many things changed. I could make effective decisions and present attractive insights to leadership. Soon, I took the lead in key strategic initiatives, which led to my promotion from Associate Director to Director at LeadSquared.

This wasn’t just a promotion but a big transformation in my role.

Advice for Professionals Looking to Level Up

Technical upskilling is a must per industry demand if you're looking for career growth. Regardless of your role, understanding data will always give you an edge. I advise investing in learning and choosing the right platform for it. Hands-on knowledge and real-world applications matter more than just theoretical knowledge.

For those hesitant about learning analytics—start small, stay consistent, and apply what you learn daily. Data is the backbone of modern business; mastering it can redefine your career.

Final Thoughts

TechVidvan was a learning platform for me and the catalyst for my career transformation. It gave me the necessary skills and confidence to take on bigger leadership roles.
