The data field is moving quickly. AI is changing how the work gets done, roles are being redrawn, and the skills that mattered two years ago are not the same ones that matter now. So where should you actually put your effort?

In this webinar, Hem, Harun and Venkata Sai share what they are seeing from inside the industry: what teams are hiring for, what AI has genuinely changed, and how to choose a direction and go deep in it.

What You'll Learn

✅ Where the roles are heading: how analytics, data engineering and AI work are converging, and what that means for your next move

✅ What AI actually changed: the parts of the job it now handles, and the skills that became more valuable because of it

✅ How to pick a focus: choosing one direction and going deep, instead of chasing every new tool

✅ How to show your work: what a portfolio and profile need to say to get you a conversation

✅ Live Q&A: bring your career questions and get direct answers

This Session Is for You If

✅ You want honest, first-hand perspective from people doing this work every day

✅ You are building a career in data analytics, data engineering or AI, and want to choose a direction with confidence

✅ You want a clear read on how AI is reshaping data roles and where the opportunity now sits

✅ You have been learning steadily and want to know what to prioritise next
