Bridging the gap
Reserve Bank of India predicts that non-performing assets for Indian banks are likely to cross Rs 10 lakh crores in the financial year 2022-2023. The non-performing assets for a bank are primarily bad debts - these are loans which have not been repaid, and are likely to not be repaid. It is the task of a loan manager to assess the credit rating of loan applicants to ensure that there are no bad debts and most loans are repaid on time. Data science can create machine learning models to optimise this process and save the banking industry several crore rupees by making smarter loan decisions.

Meet Our Certified Menterns
It was amazing! I learnt so many things like creating engagement on social media platforms. The 1:1 with mentors were super helpful. I learnt how to create Instagram ads, identify goals & do competitor analysis- so many things.
There was a lot of interactive sessions with Mentors. The Menternship I completed gave me a new perspective to how work has to be done. I truly enjoyed working with real figures & actual industry case studies. 
My experience was great as I got a chance to explore subjects like Analytics which are difficult to look for. The Menternship allowed to get subject knowledge and see what goes behind the making and delivering of a product.
My experience was very useful as I learnt so much about Fleet Management & Digital Marketing connected to the real-world scenario. I learnt how to actually work with social media channels like IG & Facebook.
