Learning data analytics no longer needs years of study, according to GROWAI EdTech, a Tamil Nadu training firm that runs a three-month course on the topic. The course costs ₹999 and covers Excel, SQL, Power BI, and Python. Classes run live on weekends, taught by working data staff. This article sets out a simple path for beginners learning data analytics this year, and shows how one live course structures that path.
Many beginners try to learn data analytics from scattered free videos. This often fails because skills stay disconnected. A learner may know Excel formulas but never link that to SQL or a real dashboard, which is exactly what employers expect an analyst to demonstrate on day one.
GROWAI EdTech's course avoids this by teaching in a fixed order across five modules. Module one covers core concepts in data analysis. Module two teaches Excel, including data cleaning, pivot tables, and lookup formulas. Module three moves to Power BI, covering dashboard building and DAX formulas for calculated fields. Module four covers SQL, teaching students to query databases and manage missing values. Module five covers Python, using Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib for advanced cleaning, visualisation, and early predictive work. The course ends with a free internship built on real Amazon and Walmart case studies, plus a capstone project a student can show in interviews.
Latest Developments
The main change this year is how much beginner support now costs. GROWAI EdTech's full course, including live classes and a free internship, is priced at ₹999, cut from ₹21,000. Every class stays online through the firm's learning system, so beginners can rewatch any part as many times as needed.
This live support model targets a common beginner problem: getting stuck on a formula or a query with no one to ask. A mentor-backed class turns that block into a quick fix during the same session, rather than a days-long delay that often causes beginners to give up entirely on self-taught learning.
How long does it take to learn data analytics from scratch? Most structured beginner courses, including this one, run around three months to reach a job-ready skill level, provided the student keeps pace with weekly live sessions rather than falling behind.
The certificate awarded on completion carries a unique ID that can be checked on GROWAI EdTech's website, and is tied to Startup India, ISO, MSME, and AICET recognition, giving a beginner a credential that can be verified by an employer rather than taken purely on trust.
Why It Matters
GROWAI EdTech shares real outcomes from past students. Vikram Das, a consultant in Pune, learned Pandas, SQL, and Power BI in six weeks using real data sets, then got promoted within three months. Meera Pillai, an HR analyst in Ahmedabad, built a staff attrition model using skills from the course. Priya Sharma, now a data analyst in Bengaluru, says she moved from Excel-only work to building dashboards in Power BI linked to live SQL data, with the hands-on projects making the ideas click fast.
Data analyst roles remain in demand across nearly every industry. GROWAI EdTech reports 12,000 trained students platform-wide, an 85% placement rate, and graduates now placed at firms including TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, and HCL. The course itself has a 4.6-star rating from more than 1,200 reviews, and the firm reports a 95% completion rate across its programs, a sign that the pace suits working learners as well as full-time students.
GROWAI EdTech's own comparison table sets its course against a typical rival platform. It lists real Amazon and Walmart case studies against no internship elsewhere, live classes with year-round recording access against pre-recorded-only libraries, and live support against none, all for ₹999 against roughly ₹8,999 a month at other firms. For a beginner comparing options, that table offers a concrete checklist rather than vague marketing claims.
Sanjay Reddy, an operations manager in Hyderabad, offers one more example of how the course fits a beginner with no analytics background. He built a live sales dashboard that updates each morning, which he calls the best investment he made that year, since it changed how his team makes daily decisions.
What's Next
As AI tools get built directly into Excel and Power BI this year, the path to learning data analytics may add a new layer: AI-tool skills on top of core SQL and Python work. Beginners still need the basics first, since AI tools assist analysis, they do not replace the need to understand what the data actually means or whether a result makes sense.
GROWAI EdTech's certificate carries a unique ID checkable on its website and is tied to Startup India, ISO, MSME, and AICET recognition, giving beginners a credential that can be verified rather than taken on trust alone.
The course also teaches GitHub and Jupyter Notebook workflows alongside the core five modules, tools increasingly expected of analysts who need to share and version their work with a wider team, rather than keep everything in a single spreadsheet file.
Conclusion
Anyone serious about learning data analytics in 2026 should follow a set order, from Excel to SQL to Python to dashboards, backed by real case studies and live mentor support. GROWAI EdTech's Data Analytics course follows this order, with a free internship and live classes, for ₹999. It is a practical starting point for beginners this year who want a structured path rather than scattered free content.
