Coming from an accounting background, I wanted to leverage my knowledge of business analytics in my profession. Today, even the field of commerce uses business analytics tools like Power BI. I wanted to improve my skills in this domain so I can enhance my skills. I chose MAHE’s online program due to flexible learning opportunities. Since I had more time to complete my program compared to an on-campus degree, I can progress at my own pace.
