Hi I am manish and I am a full time data engineer and having 5+ years of IT experiences delivering some of the large data projects for industries ranging from technology, security, finance, retail . The projects I delivered were both on cloud platforms such as Azure and AWS as well as On-premises.
I have a passion for teaching and I take great pride in the success of my students. I have a different style of teaching than that of a standard I.T. trainer. My courses are based on real world projects. My courses will, not only explain the concepts, but also make them stick by using real world projects and examples. Throughout the course I give guidance on good practices and guide you towards building a production ready application. I strongly believe that once you have completed my courses you will have sufficient experience and knowledge required to start a real time project on that technology. Of course you may require further learning to progress in your career, but I will give you the required foundation and put you in the right direction to gain additional knowledge.
I value your time as much as I do mine. So, I keep my courses to the point and my courses have been taught in simple English without any jargons.

Lacks proper communication skills and feels like reading slides , might be difficult for beginners. will update after completing the course if it's useful
By Jaya Shree Reddy Gopireddy on 8/5/2026
Course is good, end to end project demo would have made it more practical and useful
By Pranam Shetty on 6/23/2026
very detailed explanations followed by detailed videos. and one good thing is not asking for reviews after every video like some other creators - this speaks a lot about this creator having faith in his content. Good job.

I had a project and supposed to use Databricks as process engine. I nether used Databricks before that project. so I subscribed to this course and it helped me a lot to be able to handle my first project in Databricks.

Initially i thought the course may be average. But after watching excellent examples and step by step explanation i wondered and satisfied with content and the style of explanation. Especially for beginners like me. Thanks Sir.

I wanna highlight the down-to-earth human approach to teaching Databricks. What especially helped me were not slides but the notepad like explanations.
By Joshua Chen on 5/1/2026
This course taught me all about what Databricks can do along with AI to help me code, create tables, etc. along with getting help using the Genie code.

The instructor’s command over English affects the flow and concentration at times, which impacts the overall clarity of the explanations. Additionally, the course relies on basic examples; more challenging, real-world scenarios would have made the content more engaging.
By Naganandini on 12/29/2025
It's an excellent course with so many topics covered be it sql, python, pyspark, almost entire databricks, github, interview questions!! Definitely given more for the amount paid!! For beginners it is very good... and for experienced people can take it as revision. Might need to add concepts of Time travel, merge stmnt, multiple aggregates in pyspark, optimization of query using DAG.... these will almost complete all the topics needed I think. I really appreciate Manish for putting such streamlined content and his efforts are commendable. Big thanks to u :)
