from IIM Ranchi

This module introduces managers to how data is stored, integrated, and accessed within organisations. Participants gain a conceptual understanding of databases, data warehouses, and data lakes, along with hands-on exposure to querying data using SQL and Python. The emphasis is on asking the right questions of data, understanding query logic, and interpreting outputs rather than becoming programmers. Participants also see how ETL and integration tools support analytics workflows.
