For Venkatesan, this was a different experience from the MOOCs (massive open online courses) she had signed up for earlier, including Stanford professor Andrew Ng’s famous machine learning course on Coursera.

Apart from MOOCs, online platforms like upGrad, Great Learning and Springboard have come up to address gaps in professional education in areas such as data science.
