The two key aspects of digitization are: data and technology, and these are the areas where business leaders need to develop superior understanding and comfort to compete and grow their enterprises. It is these areas that The Bengal Chamber and Praxis Business School are addressing - so that the corporate workforce is suitably equipped with the skills of the digital age. The courses have been designed with in-depth consultation and feedback of senior technology leaders from the industry.
