Etlhive: Subject-Specific AI and ML Courses for Different Professional Backgrounds
Vaibhav Bajaj, Founder, Etlhive
The global AI and machine learning in the business market is projected to reach $190.5 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 32 percent until 2032 according to Allied Market Research. When it comes to an emerging market like India it is growing at a CAGR of more than 18 percent with a huge number of companies establishing their own data science departments. There has been an exponential growth in demand for trained AI and ML professionals across industries which have been the sole source for the rise in institutions offering this knowledge. Not only experienced individuals but also freshers are attracted towards taking up these courses and avail promising career opportunities.
However, there are a series of challenges faced by interested candidates while obtaining knowledge from AI and ML institutions. First is the acute lack of quality institutions that can provide an industry-oriented curriculum and make students industry-ready. Secondly, the cost of education for these subjects is quite high in India and most institutions provide certifications without any actual guarantee of placement. The cost incurred by majority of students interested in learning AI, ML, Data Science and Data Analytics is in lakhs of rupees which becomes a major challenge for them. ETLHIVE recognized these challenges that interested candidates are facing and came up with industry-specific AI and ML courses along with placement assurance. The cost involvement for all the courses offered by his institute is one-fourth the asking rate of the other institutes in this domain.
The company understood the potential of AI and ML technologies and data science and data analytics very early and took the initiative to impart this knowledge to candidates. Starting with only one location, the institute is currently operating from seven. “Earlier we received applications of interested candidates from the research division in huge numbers but as years went by, we also started receiving applications of freshers and working professionals. There has been a paradigm shift in this industry and we have seen an enormous increase in candidates from different professional backgrounds”, mentioned Vaibhav Bajaj, Founder, ETLHIVE.
Differentiated Approach
As mentioned before, many corporations across domains are creating their own data science departments that require skilled professionals. Here, it needs to be understood that AI and ML need to be implemented with different capabilities for different domains. The programming required to create an AI system in the finance sector will be completely different from that in the healthcare sector. In this regard, it must also be understood that core educational backgrounds are vital for selecting the course required. A candidate who has a background in pharmaceutical studies will be interested in developing pharmaceutical related applications and someone who has a bachelor in commerce will be interested in developing finance applications.
Vaibhav has acted as a one-of-a-kind entrepreneur who has understood the specificities involved in AI and ML, Data Science, and Data Analytics learning. When he first started out with the company in 2013, there were not many businesses working in this domain and availability of technology resources were also limited. He has created different courses dedicated to different industry domains. “Our approach has worked well until now. We have been able to train lakhs of students offline and more than 40 thousand students offline operating from seven locations”, said Vaibhav.
Speaking about the uniqueness of approach, Vaibhav stands apart with his understanding of the market which has been recognized by many popular corporations across the country. It is true that even after receiving certification for one AI and ML course, a candidate still needs to crack multiple rounds of interviews to get placed in an organization. Many cases can be observed where candidates belong to underserved and backward communities and they are unable to crack job interviews despite knowledge of coding. In these extended number of cases, several soft skills and related behavioral skills need to be taught to them in addition to coding.
ETLHIVE has its process of handling this aspect. Apart from providing certifications to students, it provides candidates with several rounds of mock interviews that make them ready for the job role. Through this initiative, this institute has been successful in placing many of its candidates in reputed corporations who in turn have recognized Vaibhav as one of the promising educators in this domain. The process of providing mock interviews has proved to be an exemplary step for the company because there are thousands of candidates who are interested in AI and ML, Data Science, and Data Analytics learning but do not have a proper social background to have learned the required soft skills. Added to this, the company also has 250+ industry collaborations with the help of which it provides internships to the students.
Through this process, Vaibhav is not only empowering underserved categories of candidates but also adding value to this sector as a whole by adding expert professionals with the necessary soft skills. “Most of our trainers are either from IIT or have huge professional experience in this domain. A strong faculty adds value to the overall outcome of the courses as they are always updated with the latest developments in this industry. We are also associated with various industry leaders which also helps us in revising our syllabus promptly”, he added.

Offering Courses Online and Offline
The company currently offers a very comprehensive set of online training programs that have been designed to the changing trends of the IT industry.

It has experienced and qualified professionals as instructors to guide students on a wide range of subjects that include Data Science, Software Development, Cloud Computing, cybersecurity, AI and ML, and others. It is the aspect of flexibility that drives the success of these online programs as students have the opportunity to gain access to these courses anytime and anywhere.
On the other hand, it is the practical skills and knowledge in various fields of technology that the company offers through its offline courses through a dynamic and immersive learning experience. Here, after choosing a desired course, the students are provided with hands-on exercises, interactive sessions, and expert guidance to help them dig deeper into the subjects. Through the offline mode of education at ETL HIVE, students get access to a collaborative environment to exchange ideas and build mutually fruitful professional relationships. “With state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated instructors, we ensure that each participant receives personalized attention and support throughout their learning journey.

Future Projections
Since its inception in 2013, the institute has gained significant trust and recognition in the market with an honest and transparent approach and accurate market understanding. Currently, it is offering 32 industry-specific AI and ML courses along with mock interview training to students. Looking ahead, the team at ETLHIVE is working on developing a series of domain-specific AI and ML courses like AI for Finance, AI for Pharmaceuticals, and others. It has plans to open branches in other metropolitan cities of the country like Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai in the coming years. “We want to keep up with the good work and provide AI and ML education to more students across the country”, concluded Vaibhav.
