The programme aims to empower students and HR professionals seeking to enhance their analytical, digital, and strategic people management competencies.

Highlighting the need for such initiatives to upskill the Indian students and professionals, Dr. M.J.

Today, HR professionals are expected not only to manage people processes, but also to leverage artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and automation to drive efficiency and strategic value.

The HR Analytics Programme addresses this industry shift by integrating foundational HR concepts with advanced analytics, AI applications, ML-driven predictive models, and real-world case-based learning.

The Programme Highlights include

  •   Four-month duration, including two days of on-campus learning at IIT Madras.
  •   Sessions conducted by IIT Madras faculty and industry-experienced HR analytics and AI practitioners.
  •   Includes a hands-on industry-focused HR Analytics Capstone Project, covering HR dashboards, AI in HR, predictive modelling, HR metrics, and data-driven decision-making.
