Sarika Hussain graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering from Nagpur University in 2000. For her 2 decades, she built a solid career in quality management and process consulting, eventually reaching the role of Quality Manager- I. Life was busy but largely predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the COVID-19 pandemic made Sarika question what she had not stopped asking in a long time: What am I actually capable of?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Her answer, it turns out, was a lot more than she had imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the lockdown, Sarika decided to take the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB) exam<\/strong>, one of the most rigorous certifications in quality and process management. She cleared it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That result did more than add a credential to her profile. It proved to her, in concrete terms, that her instinct to push harder was right. And it opened a question that she did not yet have the answer to: What should that next push look like?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n AI was starting to show up everywhere in business conversations at that time, such as in meetings and strategy discussions. Sarika noticed that she could follow the conversation, but she could not yet lead it. For someone in a leadership role who was expected to evaluate AI-driven solutions with confidence, that gap mattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She also knew that her background in engineering, mathematics, and statistics was nothing. It was, in fact, a reasonable foundation to build on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A conversation with Great Learning counselor Ashraf helped her connect the dots. He showed her how AI could complement her quality and process expertise rather than sit apart from it. That conversation pointed her toward her first program.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Confidence Breakthrough That Led Her Toward AI Learning <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
