Can I join FlexingData with zero tech background?

Yes — Shashank Kashyap himself started with a B.Tech in ECE and no CS or data background. Most FlexingData learners come from non-tech fields — sales, finance, teaching, or are fresh graduates. The bootcamp starts at absolute zero (Week 1 is orientation and Excel basics) and builds up gently. The free assessment shows you exactly where to start.

How many hours per week does FlexingData require?

Around 6–8 focused hours per week — live weekend classes plus practice. Consistency matters more than marathon sessions. Small daily steps win.

Can I learn data analytics at FlexingData while working full-time?

Absolutely. FlexingData live classes are on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), every session is recorded for lifetime access, and the community keeps you accountable. Most FlexingData learners are working professionals.

Is the FlexingData career assessment really free?

Yes, completely free — no card, no catch. The assessment emails you a personalised data analytics readiness report. The Sunday workshop is also a free live hour with Shashank. Registration is only to save your seat.

How much does the FlexingData LIVE Bootcamp cost?

The FlexingData LIVE bootcamp is ₹17,999 (down from ₹21,999). It includes everything: 90 days of live weekend classes, a capstone project, 1:1 mock interviews, resume review, a signed certificate, Gemini Pro for a year, lifetime recordings, and job referrals through Shashank's professional network. A lower-cost recorded-only option is also available, and the self-paced 90-day challenge is completely free.

Why choose FlexingData over free YouTube tutorials?

Free YouTube tutorials are a great start — Shashank himself learned that way. FlexingData adds what YouTube can't: a structured proven roadmap, live mentorship with real feedback, mock interviews, job referrals through a real professional network, and a community that holds you accountable until you get hired. That shortcut typically saves months of directionless learning.

Does FlexingData provide job referrals?

Yes. Shashank Kashyap has 10+ years of professional connections at companies including TCS, EY, Infosys, Accenture and more — across data analytics, engineering, product management and HR roles. He actively connects high-performing FlexingData learners with the right contacts. Referrals open doors; your skills and performance carry it from there.

Is AI learning necessary in 2025?

Yes. AI is no longer optional — it is the minimum viable skill for every professional. According to the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025, AI and Big Data are the #1 fastest-growing skill category. FlexingData teaches GenAI and AI tools as part of its core 90-day curriculum so learners are ready for the real world.

Q: Do I need a powerful laptop or paid software?

No. A basic laptop is enough. Almost everything used in the FlexingData bootcamp is free or free-to-learn — Excel or free alternatives, free SQL tools, Python, Power BI Desktop (free), and AI tools. No expensive setup required.

Shashank Kashyap

Founder & Mentor @FlexingData | Sr. Lead Business Analyst | IIM Sambalpur (Guest Lecture)

👋 From one learner to another

"I started with an ECE degree, no computer background, and a support job. If I could build a career in data and AI, so can you."

Hi, I'm Shashank. Let me be honest with you, I didn't start with any edge. My degree was in Electronics (ECE), not computer science. My first job at TCS was mostly support work: SQL, Linux, raising tickets, change management the stuff service companies spend 80% of their time on. It paid the bills, but it wasn't the future I wanted.

During COVID, I decided to teach myself Python. As I learned, I started explaining things to others and people kept telling me I made hard things feel simple. That one piece of feedback changed everything. I realised I wasn't just learning; I loved teaching. And to teach well, you have to keep learning every single day.

That path took me to a guest lecture at IIM Sambalpur and I've been invited back every year since 2021. I even built this website the way I teach: research first, then ChatGPT, then Copilot, now Claude. I'm not a content creator chasing views. I'm a teacher who genuinely loves helping people like you get there faster than I did.

My mission: Make data careers accessible to everyone

With Flexing Data, I want to be the mentor I wish I had — guiding you with a proven roadmap, real projects, and my network until you land the job.

📈 Why now — and why it matters

Data is the heartbeat of every business

Here's the honest truth: the people who understand data will lead the next decade. Those who wait risk being left behind. You don't need to be a genius — you need to start now. And these aren't just nice words; here are the facts.

Data is exploding

The world now creates 400M+ terabytes of data every single day — and someone has to make sense of it.

AI & data lead the future

AI & Big Data are the #1 fastest-growing skills through 2030, and Data Analyst is among the fastest-growing roles.

❓ Honest answers

Questions new learners ask me

I have zero tech background. Can I really do this?

Yes — I'm living proof. I started with an ECE degree and a support job, no coding. Most of our learners come from non-tech fields — sales, finance, teaching, fresh graduates. We start at absolute zero (Week 1 is orientation + Excel basics) and build up gently. The free assessment shows you exactly where to begin.

Do I need a powerful laptop or paid software?

No. A basic laptop is fine. Almost everything we use is free or free-to-learn — Excel (or free alternatives), free SQL tools, Python, Power BI Desktop (free), and AI tools. No expensive setup required.

How many hours per week do I need?

Plan for around 6–8 focused hours a week — the live classes plus some practice. Consistency matters far more than marathon sessions. Small daily steps win.

I have a full-time job. Will I be able to keep up?

Absolutely — classes are on weekends (Sat & Sun), everything is recorded, and the community keeps you accountable. Most of our learners are working professionals.

What if I miss a live class?

No problem — every session is recorded and you get lifetime access. You can catch up anytime and still bring your questions to the next live class or the community.

Is the assessment really free? And the workshop?

Yes, both completely free — no card, no catch. The assessment emails you a personalised report; the Sunday workshop is a free live hour with me. I just ask you to register so I can save your seat.

What does the LIVE Bootcamp cost — and is there an affordable option?

The LIVE batch is ₹17,999 (down from ₹21,999) and includes everything — classes, capstone project, 1:1 mock interviews, resume review, signed certificate, FREE Gemini Pro for a year, lifetime recordings and job referrals. Prefer to go lighter? There's a lower-cost recorded-only option, and the self-paced path is free.

Why pay you when I can learn for free on YouTube?

You absolutely can — I taught myself that way, and you're welcome to take the free path here too. What you pay for is the shortcut: a proven roadmap, live mentorship, honest feedback on your work, mock interviews, real referrals, and someone in your corner until you get hired. That saves you months — and often a lot of money.

Do you really help with job referrals?

Yes. Over 10+ years I've built a network of friends and former colleagues at companies like TCS, EY, Infosys, Accenture and more — across data, engineering, PM and HR roles. I connect serious learners with the right people. Referrals open doors; your performance carries it from there.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes — a signed Certificate of Completion once you finish, backed by a real project, that you can share on LinkedIn and show employers.

💛 Your turn

I did it from a non-CS background. You can too.

No fancy degree, no head start — just consistency and someone to guide me when it counted. Let me be that for you. Take the first small step today: five minutes, completely free.
