What Is Vision Board EdTech?
Vision Board EdTech (visionboardedtech.com) is a Kottayam, Kerala-based online training brand that helps IT professionals move into Azure Data Engineering and Generative AI careers. Its website names Vimal Shaji and Devikrishna R as founders, and Devikrishna R leads the teaching.
On Vision Board's course pages, Devikrishna R is described as a data engineer with experience at EY and Wipro and 10+ years in the industry, working across Azure and Google Cloud. These background details come from Vision Board's own pages; we did not verify them independently.
The flagship program is offered as "Live + Recording", so learners attend live sessions and can catch up on recordings. Vision Board also runs a YouTube channel with interviews of placed candidates.
Why Learners Choose Vision Board EdTech
A curriculum that matches today's job descriptions. According to the Batch 10 course page, the Azure Data Engineering + Gen AI program runs for 4 months and is organised into 12 modules (Vision Board says these cover 40+ subjects):
- DP-900 Azure Data Fundamentals, plus DP-203 / DP-600 / DP-700 exam preparation
- Azure Data Factory, including 10 practical implementation exercises
- Python for data engineering (including OOP) and easy-to-medium DSA
- Azure Databricks, Advanced SQL and PySpark
- Microsoft Fabric and Generative AI
- Three real-time projects — an end-to-end project, an Azure Fabric project and a Gen AI project
- A dedicated interview-preparation module
Including Fabric is a sensible choice: Microsoft retired the DP-203 Azure Data Engineer exam in March 2025, and DP-700 (Fabric Data Engineer Associate) is now its main data engineering certification.
A mentor team, not a single instructor. The course page lists three mentors: Devikrishna R, Krishna Raj (Technical Lead / Architect) and Reetha G (communication and interview-cracking mentor). Many learners already know the tools but struggle in interviews, so having a dedicated interview and communication mentor is a real plus.
Placement support built into the program. The course page lists company referrals, mock interviews, resume and LinkedIn preparation, career guidance, daily job alerts and HR collaboration, for both internships and full-time roles. Vision Board does not promise guaranteed placement.
Stories from experienced professionals and career restarts. Vision Board's masterclass pages feature learners who say they made the move after long stints in one company or after a break — for example, Snehil Sharma (12+ years in a service-based company), Purushotham Kumar (6 years in one company), and Sreedevi and Soundarya Senthilkumar (after maternity breaks). These are testimonials published by Vision Board; we have not verified them independently.
A low-cost way to try it first. Vision Board runs a 2-hour live masterclass by Devikrishna R, listed at ₹49 (down from ₹499), covering the Azure Data Engineering roadmap, core tools, and profile and interview strategy, with a certificate. It's an inexpensive way to judge the teaching style before committing to a full batch.
Alumni Results
Earlier alumni outcomes featured on Vision Board's Success Stories page were followed up directly by our team with the learners, who confirmed their stories:
- Ruchita joined Digibyte Technologies with a 173% salary hike.
- Pranjal Sharma moved from a 9.7 LPA package to an 18 LPA offer at Wipro — roughly a 95% hike.
- Akshay Gawde landed an offer at IBM with a 100% hike (Batch 7).
- Deepu received a 12 LPA offer from Knight Frank (Batch 7).
Vision Board's website also shows a 2025 "Hall of Fame" with the results below. These are reported by Vision Board; we have not been able to independently verify these packages or employers yet, so treat them as the brand's own figures.
| Learner | Batch | Package (as reported) | Employer (as reported) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remya | A | ₹1.25 Cr | Cancer Council Australia (Lead Data Engineer) |
| Sushil Kumar Dadhich | A | 70 LPA | General Mills |
| Snehil Sharma | C | 62 LPA | PepsiCo |
| Reshma | B | 60 LPA | Listed as "NYC" |
| Purushotham | B | 50 LPA | Chevron |
| Praveen | A | 45 LPA | EazyML |
| Mamatha | C | 45 LPA | KPMG |
| Abhinav Shukla | B | 32 LPA | KPMG |
| Chetan | A | 30 LPA | British Petroleum |
Vision Board's homepage also shows logos of companies where it says alumni work, including Microsoft, Amazon, Walmart, Visa, Deloitte, PwC, EY and KPMG. We could not confirm individual placements at these companies. Some figures also differ across Vision Board's own pages (for example, a highest package shown as ₹1.25 Cr on one page and ₹1.5 Cr on another), so we've used the named, specific figure.

Bottom Line
Vision Board EdTech is a solid, focused choice for IT professionals moving into Azure Data Engineering. Its curriculum covers the tools employers are asking for, including Microsoft Fabric and Gen AI, and it pairs live teaching with a mentor team and placement support. Earlier alumni stories held up when we checked them; the bigger 2025 results are the brand's own figures, so ask to speak to recent alumni if those numbers are a deciding factor. Start with the ₹49 masterclass to see if the teaching style suits you, and confirm the current batch fee before you enrol.
