I had no clue where I was headed. PGDTRM gave me clarity, confidence, and the skills to land my dream role. Totally worth it.
Perla Maheshwara Reddy
GRMI opened doors I didn’t even know existed. Big 4 placement, expert guidance, and real-world learning in tech risk. Couldn’t ask for more.
Abhay
I didn’t come from tech, but GRMI never made me feel behind. They taught me from scratch and helped me land a job I once thought was out of reach.
Anudeep Reddy
Tech terms used to confuse me. Now I explain them in interviews. That’s what real learning and the right mentors can do.
Pranjal
Everyone expected me to do something traditional. GRMI helped me take a different path and now they’re the proudest ones.
Suman
I was working in banking but knew it wasn’t for me. GRMI helped me pivot into tech risk and now I’m starting fresh at a Big 4.
