The Digital Skills Academy has partnered with Bangalore-based ArthaVidhya to offer this program. Along with being entirely online, the course is interactive and job-oriented, which has been built with an innovative concept of a virtual office, embedded in artificial intelligence-based ‘Interactive Learning Management System’ (iLMS). Highlighting the unique aspects of this course, Prof. K. Mangala Sunder, the head of Digital Skills Academy at IIT Madras, said, “The course has been designed to provide students with a simulated environment, giving the students a real-life simulation of actual work environment throughout the course.” Further, Prof. Sunder said, “The AI platform provides the students with a virtual corporate environment carrying out various financial transactions in real-time. This helps the students to obtain an experiential learning equivalent to about three months of actual corporate working experience and makes them job-ready.” The course is designed as per the job roles of NASSCOM and has been certified by them. In addition, the general features of this course have also been reviewed by Prof. M.
