"I highly recommend Gaurav’s CCBA training program! Within just a few weeks, my business analysis capability has significantly improved. Gaurav has a fantastic way of breaking down the BABOK concepts - what once felt intimidating now feels clear and manageable...What I’ll truly miss is the engaging training sessions and the in-depth discussions around real-life scenarios.."
Paul Casanova

Bhuvana Rao
"Gaurav’s CCBA coaching is excellent! His structured approach, real-world examples, and clear explanations make complex concepts easy to understand. Highly recommend for anyone preparing for CCBA!"
Michael Battersby
"I can’t recommend Gaurav highly enough. He translated and communicated the content and concepts in the BABOK into easy to understand terms and practical worked examples. And most of all, the sessions were highly interactive with everyone able to get involved and stay focused. 5 stars!"
Kapindra Chaudhary
"His passion for teaching is evident in his dedication and personal interest in helping his students not only achieve IIBA certification but also become better business analysts.
..I truly believe I made the right choice by signing up with him instead of opting for the big names available in the market. If you're looking for ECBA, CCBA, or CBAP preparation or any sort of Business Analysis guidance, Gaurav is the go-to person."
