 Great Learning Empowers Chennai based Former Professor to Launch New Career in Data Science

 

Chennai, 29th August 2025:  Great Learning, a leading global edtech company, has successfully enabled Nishanth R., a Chennai based former Assistant Professor, to transition from academia to a thriving career in data science. With the increasing adoption of AI and data-driven decision-making across industries, demand for specialized roles like data scientists is expected to surge by 30–35% in 2025. As a result, professionals are proactively upskilling to stay ahead in this evolving landscape.

 

Nishanth, who holds a Master’s in Engineering and an MBA, dedicated nearly a decade to teaching engineering students. While academia offered a fulfilling experience, his desire to better support his family inspired him to explore new career avenues. In 2022, he made a bold decision to leave academia and enrolled in the classroom Postgraduate Program in Data Science (with Specialization in Gen AI) at Great Learning.

 

Nishanth’s journey was not easy. Every day, he made an 80-km round-trip commute to attend classes, opting to bike to reduce the time spent on public transport. The physical toll was significant, but he persevered, reminding himself that the effort was worthwhile. With hands-on training and the structured guidance of Great Learning’s comprehensive curriculum, he quickly gained the skills and confidence to excel in his new domain.

 

Commenting on his success, Hari Krishnan Nair, Co-Founder, Great Learning said, “Nishanth’s story is a powerful reminder that with determination and the right support, career transformations are always possible. At Great Learning, our mission is to empower learners with the skills needed to thrive in emerging technology roles like data science. We’re proud to have been a part of Nishanth’s journey, his resilience and commitment reflect the spirit of lifelong learning and the courage to embrace change at any stage of one’s career.”

 

Upon completing the program, Nishanth secured a role as a Data Scientist at a leading organisation, where he now leverages both his academic background and newly acquired technical expertise. His transformation further solidifies Great Learning’s mission to empower professionals with industry-relevant skills that enable meaningful career shifts, highlighting that it is never too late to adapt, upskill, and embrace new opportunities.
