What do
looking for a boost. We provide professional education to them.
we do? • This upgrade depends upon the demand in the industry and what the companies
are exactly looking for in the candidates.
• We equip the candidates with that particular skill so he/she can meet the
requirement of the industry.
• We basically bridge the gap b/w the demand and the supply.
We have collaborated with top notch Institutes to offer industry relevant education
namely :
Why do we While the Offline classroom programs that various colleges and universities run are of good quality but
at the same time they are:
do what we
1) Expensive
2) Full time
3) Not always relevant with respect to practical exposure
do?
4) Very small bucket
While the Online programs offer high level content but that alone is not enough. Moreover, these
online courses provide:
5) No practical knowledge
6) No feedback upon the work done
7) No deadlines lead to no motivation leading to people not even completing these courses most of
the time
8) No peer infrastructure
Moreover if its only about content, everything today is available online but the challenge is to use it in
an effective and efficient manner.
Looking at this situation, we wondered if we could solve this problem. We neither
wanted to become a small university imparting high quality education with not much of
practical exposure nor did we want to be an online course with a lot of content but no
practical support.
Hence we wondered what we could do to make the situation better and solve this
problem. After a lot of research, we came up with our:
How did we
• Blended Model (Offline format – Classroom + Online)
• Mentored Learning Model (Online format)
offering the candidates the best of both the worlds.

What is
Machine Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems
the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly
programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs
Learning? that can access data and use it learn for themselves.
What is Artificial Intelligence is the machines which are designed and programmed in such a
manner that they and think and act like a human.
Artificial The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally
requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-
making, and translation between languages.
Intelligence?
AI explained in context to Humans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ePf9rue1Ao
While artificial intelligence (AI) is the broad science of mimicking human abilities,
machine learning is a specific subset of AI that trains a machine how to learn.
All of these things mean it's possible to quickly and automatically produce models
that can analyse bigger, more complex data and deliver faster, more accurate
results – even on a very large scale. And by building precise models, an
organization has a better chance of identifying profitable opportunities – or
avoiding unknown risks.
Why is it
relevant
today?
People often mix machine learning with artificial intelligence. Although both of them
do have data in their main focus, there are important differences between the two:

- Hands on projects – doing more gets you industry acceptability: We have 12 course projects, including a Capstone. Our projects are constantly
revamped and upgraded, with different batches getting to do different ones. In UpGrad, the projects stay the same and are rarely updated. Also, most
are canned projects that you will find online. Our projects are far more rigorous so that you gain the exposure of real implementation. We do this so
that the skills, techniques and industry problems remain more current and up-to-date. In the recent batches of AIML, we have had participants whose
capstone projects have become PhD Theses, papers been presented to reputed journals, and teams have built their startups around capstone projects.
Let me give you a few examples –
o In the recent IIM Bangalore conference on AI, 4 out of the 12 papers presented were capstone projects of GL learners
o A team built a music recommendation engine for Carnatic music. That’s Spotify for Indian music. Now they have incorporated the company and
are building it as a startup
o Predicting acceptance of patents: A team built a ML model which would predict whether a company’s patent application would get accepted in
US. Think of the impact – companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft etc file 50-60k patents every year and every patent costs 11 lacs. Imagine the
business cost saving here.
o Predicting likelihood of cancer: The accuracy rates of a recent capstone projected in AIML on this problem statement is same as one done by a
team of MIT researchers.
o Using 2 years’ worth of CCTV camera images from ATMs to develop an AI predictor of potential fraudulent or suspicious activities. The team is
now working to incorporate this as a company and is in advanced talks for their first implementation.
Counter Attacking UpGrad (continued)
- Real mentorship means personalized attention: Our mentors are not program support staff but real faculty/industry experts who give you
personalized attention every week so that you learn and get better. This is why the learning quality and learning impact in our online programs
is so high. To give you a data point, just last weekend there were 300 mentored sessions that happened at GL and 280 out of those received
feedback of > 4.25/5. Our mentors do far more than doubt-clearing – they are present with you EVERY WEEK, throughout the program. They
walk you through examples, review your code, help you with projects and explain tough concepts. Our mentorship is intimate (5-8 people
instead of a class of 120 people getting a live session) and personalized, leading to greater bonding with your group-mates and a vibrant study
atmosphere. Hence, our students learn better and drop out much less frequently. In UpGrad’s case industry folks only record content, and their
so-called mentorship is primarily just customer support. There is no learning that happens through mentorship in the case of UpGrad.
- We help you succeed in your career: Our programs have an entire suite of career services that we call Great Learning Excelerate. Our career
support is constant, wide-ranging and proven over a much longer period.
o 250+ company recruitment relationships
o 50+ job postings every month, from top companies. In the last 3-4 weeks, there have been postings from Amex, Amazon, Grofers, Swiggy,
Shell, HSBC, HCL, Makemytrip, Walmart etc
o Our marquee job fair – GL Excelerate – happens multiple times a year (6-10 times) in metro cities.
Last Excelerate event in BLR: 320 participants, 25+ companies, 20 spot offers, 100+ final round interviews. HSBC, IBM, Dell, Tiger
Analytics, Shell, Latent View, Fractal Analytics, Myntra, KPMG etc. continue to come regularly to Excelerate.
o You get access to a career mentor in the 7th month of the program. Between our mentor and our Career Services team, you get help on:
CV Review
Advice on positioning your project work appropriately
LinkedIn profile review, ensuring that the right aspects are highlighted
Interview tips and mock interview assistance, at the right times
o 46% average salary hike, over 2000+ cross-company transitions, 66% of our learners transition into data science roles within a year of

several industry verticals, including 2 faculty ranked in the Top 10 faculty in India (in the area of AIML
and Data Science)
• Our program is longer, more comprehensive, and leads to much better learning and career outcomes.
They only have some sketchy claims of career support – our career support has been built over 5 years,
with a great track record of success.

Opening a mail – 2 points
Clicking on any link mentioned on the mail – 5 points
Any activity that they do on our website or any landing page, they get awarded based on the time spent and contents browsed – XX points
B) If they browse the website directly or indirectly (any link taking them to our website), they receive points depending on the time they spend browsing.
Engaged: This score is similar to the “Lead Score” but it captures the activity done by the particular person in the last 20 days. Hence, Engaged Score is always less than or
equal to Lead Score.

Lead Stages in LeadSquared:
Lead: Any lead (fresh or old) that has not been attempted even once will remain in “Lead” stage.
Lead Called: Any lead that has been attempted once to establish a connect will be automatically converted to “Lead Called” stage. Irrespective of if you could connect with
them or not.
Pending Applicant: These leads are the folks who had started filling the application but did not finish submitting it. You can also see in which step they discontinued their
application. There are 3 steps in an application:
Step1: Personal Details
Step2: Education, Career and Programming Experience Details
Step3: Essay Question (Why do they want to learn AIML?)
Applicant: If the lead has submitted their application form for any of the program, LS will automatically change the lead stage to “Applicant”. An applicant can be of two types:
∙ Marketing Application – If the prospective lead has applied for the programs either by directly going to our website or via our marketing campaigns without talking to an
LC, it comes under marketing application tag.
∙ Sales Application – If the prospective lead was first a lead in the system (LS) and after speaking to an LC (Learning Consultant) has filled the application form, then it
comes under sales application tag.
Scheduled: This Lead Stage states the applicant has scheduled their telephonic interview to complete the admission process. Only prospects in “Applicant” stage can schedule
their telephonic interviews and not “Lead” or “Lead Called” stage.
If you mark an activity on applicant as “Called at Application Stage” and sub-status as “Scheduled”, the Olympus system will automatically change their Lead Stage to
“Scheduled”.
Selected: This Lead Stage states a prospect who is an “Applicant” in the system and had been marked “Scheduled” has completed their telephonic interview round, and now is
awaiting to receive their offer letter.
You will mark an activity on the “Scheduled” applicants as “Application Screening Conducted” and mark sub-status as “Selected”. The Olympus system will automatically
change their Lead Stage to “Selected”.
Lead Stages in LeadSquared:
Offered: This Lead stage states that the particular candidate has been issued an offer letter, after they have filled the application form and done with their telephonic
interview.
Offer letters can only be sent to the “Selected” lead stage leads who was gone through the below LS Lead Stages:
Applicant >> Scheduled >> Selected
Offer Accepted: This Lead stage states the “Offered” candidate has sent across an email acceptance mail stating they accept and the offer letter and is willing to join the
course.
If you mark an activity as “Called for Offer Follow-Up” and sub-status as “Offer Accepted”, the Olympus system will automatically change their Lead Stage to “Offer
Accepted”.
Offer Rejected: This Lead stage states the “Offer Candidate” has mentioned they do not want join the course for a specific reason.
If you mark an activity as “Called for Offer Follow-Up” and sub-status as “Offer Rejected”, the Olympus system will automatically change their Lead Stage to “Offer
Rejected”.
Offer Expired: This Lead stage states the “Offer Candidate” has not paid the Admission Fees before the deadline given in the Offer Letter issued to them.
The folks in this stage can still pay the Admission Fees and get themselves “Enrolled” in the system.
Enrolled: Any “Offered”/ “Offer Accepted”/Offer Expired” candidate who pays the initial Admission Fees through the payment link hyperlinked in their Offer Letter, the
Olympus System will automatically change their Lead Stage to “Enrolled”.
If they pay the Admission Fees through RTGS/NEFT, they will have to share the UTR Number of the particular transaction to you which you will cross-check with our
finance team if the transaction has been received at our end. The finance team updates the Lead Stage to “Enrolled” through back-end.
Rejected: This lead stage states the lead is not interested in the program for a specific reason. If you mark any lead/lead called/pending applicant/applicant as “Not Interested”
along with the specific reason, the Olympus system will automatically change their lead stage to “Rejected”.

GL Shine
GL Shine:
It is an in-house tool which has been integrated with LeadSquared to help the Learning Consultants in managing their follow up-tasks efficiently. When we
specify “efficiently”, it means GL Shine even tells you the time duration in the day between which you are supposed to try to establish a connect with a
prospect. If you fail in not calling the prospect within that specific duration, then it will result in a breached SLA.
For e.g. Suppose you had put a follow-up for a prospect on 8th Mar’19 at 4:30PM, then GL shine will show Task starts on 8th Mar’18, 4:30 PM and Task
ends on 8th Mar’18, 5:30 PM. You are supposed to call the prospect during that 1-hour duration otherwise it will be a breach in SLA.
It acts as a personal assistant which exactly tells the Learning Consultant on a specific date the folks you are supposed to establish a connect with. These
folks can include fresh “lead”, “lead called” follow ups, fresh “pending applicants”, “pending applicant” follow-ups, fresh “applicants”, “applicants” follow-
ups, “offered” follow-ups.
Additionally, it also shows a detailed view (report) of the daily activities done by a Learning Consultant.

Now I would like to share the details of curriculum which is divided into 3 tracks:
The 1st track is Foundation of AIML track in which we cover Python for AIML and Statistics & Probability. This helps in forming the base for the AIML domain.
Then we have the 2nd track in which we cover the deeper study of Machine Learning – Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Ensemble Techniques,
Recommendation Systems.
Then the 3rd track is AI – where we start with Neural Network Basics, Computer Vision, Statistical NLP, Sequential NLP, Advanced Computer Vision, Generative
Adversarial Networks (GAN’s), Reinforcement Learning.
Capstone Project
Also in this program you will be doing a Capstone Project, which is one of the most important aspect of this program wherein you will be doing an industry
oriented project of your interested domain for a period of 3-4 months in a group of 3-4 candidates. Also, you will be getting a mentor for that who can be either
be GL Faculty or Industry Professional, most likely it is the industry professional. We have usually seen this project act as stepping stone to move yourself into
analytics industry. It gives you an opportunity to work in an hands on manner on all the tools and technologies which you have learnt in initial 6-7 months of
the program. Also, in the program there will be some content you will be learning from UT Austin, every month there will be one live virtual sessions by UT
Austin faculty and the Capstone Project will be approved by Great Lakes and UT Austin Faculty Director.
In this program also you will be participating in one or 2 hackathons wherein you will be providing a solution to a real time problem. For Example we had

Points Weightage for each of our AIML products (1 point = Rs 400/-)
AIFL PGP ML Online MLC PGP AIML Online AIML
2 points 2 points 3 points 3 points 4 points
Each sale made by a LC fetches them points (either 4/3/2 points) based on the course they have sold and each point earned entitles the LC
of Rs 400/-.
Based on the total number of points (Sales Points) accumulated by the LC through the total sales of the particular month, they get additional
bonus points depending on the slab they fall onto as below (sample):
0-15 0
16-25 5
26-35 10
Total Amount for Incentive Calculation = (Sales Points + Bonus Points) * 400
36-45 20
46-55 45
56-65 65
66-75 75
76-85 100
86-100 110

Sales Performance Standards
Introduction
Sales is the largest and, currently, the most metricized function at Great Learning. With a large number of product lines being serviced currently, and a larger
forthcoming pipeline, this is a team where we envisage large numbers hired in coming months and years.
Currently, we have productivity tracking for about 5 months, and, based on the measured performance month-on-month, this document proposes a series of
performance benchmarks that every member in sales must meet. The following points may be noted:
a. The standards mentioned here are based on enrolment points allocated to individual products as on 1 st March 2019. Changes in the basic numbers there will
result in changes here as well.
b. The ramp-up time is currently assumed to be 3 months or thereabouts for a new recruit to become a fully functional learning consultant. This may change with
the introduction of a formal sales training unit, with the reduction in ramp-up time being the trainer’s KRA
c. Currently, we are operating on a month-to-month target cycle. This itself may change to a 10-day or fortnightly cycle, at which point this policy will be revisited.
Performance Ramp – Up Guidelines
We are introducing 4 different time-bound performance yardsticks:
1. First-month
2. Second-month
3. Third-month
4. Full-flight
For anyone whose training (9 days) is completed on or before the 10th of a calendar month, that month will count as the first month. All further performance months
will coincide with the calendar month.
For people whose training completes after the 10 th of a calendar month, that month will be considered a zero month. Their first month will commence on the 1st of the
next calendar month.
There may be cases where a learning consultant may have fewer productive days in the first or second month, for medical or otherwise exigent reasons. The manager
has the discretion to waive consideration of that month’s performance and pause the performance clock by a month, maximum once for that learning consultant.
Sales Performance Standards (PIP)
Expected Performance Numbers & Corrective Actions
As per the current observed numbers, we propose the following performance guidelines for the existing product lines. Note that the company may imminently need to split these
into more granular items, given any changes in definition of responsibilities, market conditions or other factors.
5. Failing to achieve the targets in the PIP month, the learning consultant will be terminated for performance reasons. The month of PIP will be considered part of the notice period.
6. If an LC misses the minimum target in a month for legitimate reasons as supported by the manager – illness, special circumstances, alternate additional responsibilities – he can be exempted
from the PIP.
7. If an LC has been 2 such PIPs in a single year of service, he cannot have a performance lapse for another month in that year again. The 3 rd such PIP situation will warrant automatic
termination, except in exigent circumstances as certified by the Manager and found acceptable by the Business Head.
8. The PIP, for the first time, will involve a formal email from the manager, copying the skip manager as well as a People Operations representative. Second PIPs in the year will involve a meeting
with the manager and the skip manager, followed by a formal email copied to a People Operations representative. People Operations will follow both these communications with a formal
communication of commencement of notice period, starting the first day of that given month, with the possibility of subsequent cancellation if the performance benchmarks are met.
