Learners around the world have woken to the rewarding careers that come with the knowledge of emerging fields such as Data Science, which has become a mainstay in the operations of companies across industries. Answering this demand, numerous start-ups have mushroomed on the internet, sometimes leading the bright and the ambitious to their desired career goals.
Moreover, the need to upskill is even direr today than ever before, as the world is gearing towards a massive change, which entails the implementation of the latest powerful tech developments such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science. In other words, jobs as we know them would change and become integrated with the cutting-edge technologies that have appeared on the block, leaving a huge void in the skill gap in domains such as Data Science. For example, let’s look at the IT industry. A NASSCOM report mentions that by 2026, India will have a technology professionals shortage of a whopping 1.4–1.9 million.
At the same time, owing to its edge in population metrics, Young India is the world’s best bet in solving the supply-demand issue around Data science jobs, as a massive tech-savvy Indian population can potentially power the major data-driven projects around the world. To bridge this massive skill gap, the Edtech sector will need to not just train the young, college-going populous but also those who have long-forayed into the market. However, these platforms often fail to cater to the key demographics in India. So, above all, what needs to be addressed is the language gap that the English-centric learning model of the EdTech industry poses.
In the Indian start-up ecosystem, teeming with Edtech start-ups, Console Flare, has, since its inception in 2020, successfully carved its own niche as a 360-degree learning platform for aspiring IT professionals. What sets the Console Flare apart from its peers is its focus on delivering industry-relevant data science & data analytics training in Hindi as opposed to the host of English-centric data science training institutes in the sector. By breaking the language barrier, Console Flare has become accessible to a wide pool of learners around India, especially given that a big chunk of the population, though familiar with English, finds Hindi to be second nature and thus prefers it as a mode of learning.
As the Indian market is more eager than ever to tap into the full potential of Data Science, the sector is growing exponentially in the country, creating a massive demand compared to the supply of eligible candidates. In this talent crunch scenario, concerns such as age bar and relevant job experience no longer hold water if one has the necessary technical expertise and domain knowledge. Therefore, riding the giant Data Science wave, Console Flare, in its last 3 years, has launched over 5000 IT & Non-IT students in the field of data science.
Another salient feature of Console Flare is that it caters to the need of both advanced learners as well as beginners in the field of Information Technology. The company believes in a for-all pedagogy around technical skills so that those without a computer science and engineering or any STEM background could upskill seamlessly and gun for rewarding positions such as Machine Learning Engineer, Business Analyst, Data Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Business Intelligence Developer, and Big Data Analyst.
Additionally, to cater to IT professionals and non-technical learners comprehensively, Console Flare endeavours to impart relevant skills from scratch and build up to the current best practices in advanced modules such as Python, Data Analysis, Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, AI, and Business Intelligence. Delivering this holistic grooming into the IT sector, the company has painstakingly curated a team of industry experts around the country who bring to the table their long-standing domain experience. As a result, the cohort also gets the unique opportunity to pick up on the current market trends and be ready to take up challenging industry positions.
One of the highlights of the learning experience with Console Flare that is worth mentioning is the company’s policy- “Once a student, always a student” - which denotes the flexible and inclusive environment that the EdTech platform provides.
Further exemplifying the free-flowing learning structure that Console Flare is proud to offer, the instructors widely encourage questions and interactions in live classes, which not only lend a personal touch to the upskilling but also help to consolidate the material in real-time. Moreover, the regular live classes boost the learning curve by saving time from prolonged doubt-clearing sessions and also help learners build a rapport with the instructor, leading to seeking one-on-one mentorship.
Attesting to the superlative learning model of the platform, Console Flare has not only attracted a massive number of learners in the last three years but also has, as a bootstrap start-up hit a great growth trajectory. In fact, what remains remarkable about the company’s journey is that it has, in the age of robust VC funding, made it big on a lean startup model.
All in all, Console Flare holistically solves the triple threat in the EdTech industry: the language barrier, age bar and quality of teaching, and thus is poised to continue on its path of excellence as among the leading data science training institutes in India.
