Moreover, PGPCC aims to give you a holistic approach structured towards a balanced
understanding of the major cloud service providers with a focus to make you enterprise-ready
(not just for your current venture) for the next decade in the industry. Limiting yourself to
knowledge on just a single cloud platform in the longer run, may not reap the desired results in a
market that demands a robust, agile and multifaceted skill set (this helps you develop assets on
the multi-tier cloud Solutions/ focus on Big Data Analytics on Cloud and a host of other cloud
skills essentials for today's elite executives/professionals.

PGPCC is taught and delivered by distinguished academicians in the field of Cloud Computing
and several experienced industry practitioners from top organisations.Here is the list of faculty
for your perusal. Faculty Profiles
