    Outcomes

    What you'll be able to do on day one at your new job

    Every module ends with a graded lab that mirrors what teams actually ship. No slides-only theory.

    Write production Python with OOP, type hints, unit tests and packaging.

    Model dimensional warehouses — Star vs Snowflake schemas — with proper grain.

    Build reliable ETL/ELT pipelines orchestrated with Airflow.

    Process TB-scale batch data with PySpark on Databricks / EMR.

    Stream events end-to-end with Kafka topics, consumers and stream processors.

    Build a lakehouse on Delta Lake / Iceberg / Hudi with ACID guarantees.

    Version pipelines with Git, containerize with Docker, deploy via CI/CD.

    Enforce data quality with Great Expectations / dbt tests.

    16-week curriculum

    Mandatory capstone labs

    Projects you'll actually ship

    Lab 01

    Daily Airflow ETL to Snowflake

    Ingest REST + CSV sources, transform with dbt, land curated tables in Snowflake — all orchestrated by an Airflow DAG with retries and Slack alerts.

    Lab 02

    PySpark Batch Pipeline on Databricks

    Process 100M+ rows of clickstream data with PySpark, apply dimensional modeling, and write partitioned Parquet to a Delta Lake with schema evolution.

    Lab 03

    Kafka → Spark Streaming Lakehouse

    Producers push events to Kafka; a Spark Structured Streaming job writes deduplicated micro-batches into an Iceberg table queryable by dbt.

    FAQ

    Everything parents & partners ask

    Do I need programming experience?

    Yes — comfort with one language (any) is required. We ramp Python and SQL from intermediate to advanced. If you're brand-new to coding, do our Data Analyst track first.

    Do I get real cloud + Databricks access?

    Yes. Every student gets sandbox credits on AWS/GCP + a Databricks Community edition workspace. Every lab runs on real infra.

    Which cloud does the course focus on?

    AWS is primary; we mirror key labs on GCP so alumni are comfortable on both stacks.

    Is the training online or in-person?

    Hybrid. Weekday online, weekend labs and mock interviews at our Chandra Layout campus in Bengaluru (or fully online for remote learners).

    What roles do alumni get placed into?

    Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Platform Engineer (Data) and Streaming Engineer roles — with typical packages of ₹12-28 LPA depending on experience.

    What's the fee and are EMIs available?

    Fee is ₹99,000 all-inclusive. 0% interest EMIs across 6, 9 and 12 months. Scholarships available for women returnees and students from tier-3 cities.
