Success Stories

Kumud Konnur
Data Protection Intern, Tsaaro

Right from my college days, I was always interested in studying a blend of cyber security, law, and policy; and this program was offering exactly that. I took a leap of faith and enrolled for the program, and it turned out to be a lifeline for me. Especially amidst the stressful chemotherapy sessions.

Sneha Banerjee
Cyber Hunt Analyst-II, Microsoft

It was a risky decision for me to quit my job and join the CyberShikshaa program full time, but I went for it in March 2019. Studying at C-DAC Bangalore for the CyberShikshaa batch, opened up a pandora's box of learning opportunities for me.

Vani Palla
Process Manager, Standard Chartered Bank

I wish to become one of the women leaders in Data Privacy and Protection in India. The CyberShikshaa Privacy module proved to be the silver lining in my career!

Manjusha Marar
Cyber Security Associate, ACPL Systems Pvt. Ltd.

The IT industry is saturated with software developers right now and they need a pool of trained cyber security professionals. I am glad CyberShikshaa found me, and I was able to route my career in this direction.

Bindhya Jeet
Advisor- Data Privacy and Protection, Infosys

Only a shift in the mindset is enough to help women restart their career. Motherhood should only be seen as a next chapter in their life, not as an end to the career for which they have aspired all their life.

CyberShikshaa happened to me at the right time, and I cannot thank DSCI and Microsoft enough for helping me find my field of interest.
