reviews on Google from people I have trained.

The 3 day workshop taught me what I couldn't learn in a span of a year. The way Excel is taught makes you learn the basics and understand the functions and features instead of memorizing things.

Nitesh Oberoi

Amazing training. I was able to prepare Excel dashboards for my organization with their teachings and methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the training use our own data and case studies?

Yes. Share sample reports or walk me through your processes, and the exercises are built from them. Your team leaves with work they can use on Monday morning.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes. I sign NDAs as standard and can work with masked or sample data when your files are sensitive.

We have Copilot licences. Do we need training?

Most teams use a fraction of what Copilot can do. I cover both free Copilot Chat and licensed Microsoft 365 Copilot, so the training fits what you have. Not sure what you have? The free 30-minute call answers that first.

Onsite or online?

Both. I am based in Mumbai and travel for onsite training across India and internationally. Online programs run live for teams in any time zone. Training is in English, or Hindi where teams prefer it.

Only one or two people need training. Can they join?

Yes. Individuals and small groups can join classroom batches or book personal training at our institute in Bandra West, Mumbai, near Mehboob Studio. Classes are taught by our group of certified, experienced trainers. WhatsApp us to see upcoming batches.

How long is a program?

From a half-day workshop for leaders to a five-level Power BI program. Every proposal is built around your team's level and goals.

How do fees work?

Each proposal is customised, so fees depend on topics, duration, team size and format. Send your requirements on WhatsApp and I will reply with a proposal.
