Nikhil Gupta wonderfully carried out working session on Tableau to showcase some great capabilities. His focus on operationalization was so insightful. I would like to specially thank Srishty Jain, CFA, CAIA for providing this opportunity. The overall co-ordination, communication and prompt responses are really appreciated. The training techniques in all the sessions ensured that we have live case studies and interactive assignments to see the practical application of the concepts. Thanks CoLLearn team once again!

Yesterday was the semi-final between England and Denmark in euro 2020. England won by hook or crook through an extra-time penalty by Harry Kane. So looking into that I did Visualisation for the home and away team and comparisons between 2 players. Can't thank Nikhil Gupta enough for providing me with enough knowledge to make my first step as a Football Analyst. Now looking forward to analyse the final between Italy and England with the former on a roll of 30 match unbeaten streak. Let's go !!

Thank you CoLLearn for the amazing session by Nikhil Gupta. Looking forward to learn more from you guys in the near future 🙂 Creating a Football Scouting Dashboard was something I always dreamt off

I definitely enjoyed the course a lot, and Nikhil sir is a great mentor. It's been a pleasure learning from him, and I hope it continues. I would also like to thank CoLLearn for giving me this chance. Thank you!

It was a great learning experience for me with Nikhil sir. Data Analytics and Scouting, I had a passion for it but I didn't know where to start. I just wanted a kickstart from somewhere and this course is what did that for me.

Thank you Nikhil and CoLLearn for this course. It was pretty insightful and it helped us a lot. Learned things which will definitely help me in the future.
