Prashanth Chogule, an MBA graduate specialising in finance and HRM, currently serves as an assistant finance professor at Amity Global School in Pune. Armed with a B.Com and a solid foundation in cost accounting from Pune University, he pursued a data science certification course. This shift not only honed his skills but also played a pivotal role in propelling his success in his present career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exploration of Data Science Certification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prashant&#8217;s <strong>interest in data science <\/strong>developed during his PhD in finance<strong>,<\/strong> focusing on the volatility analysis of large-cap cryptocurrencies.
