In this podcast episode, I’ve invited Raghav, a Business Analyst at Swiggy, to share his inspiring journey. Coming from a non-tech background with an integrated BSc+MSc degree from a tier-3 college, Raghav started his career as a Data Analyst right after graduation in 2022. Together, we’ll dive into his experiences, the challenges he faced, and his strategies for breaking into the analytics field as a fresher.
