I am pleased to introduce Qlik Academic Program Educator Ambassador for 2025, Darshan Sagar who is an Assistant Professor at Silver Oak University, Ahmedabad, India. His core teaching subject is Information Technology. Darshan has a strong passion for integrating data analytics, cloud computing, and web technologies into academic learning.  He has undertaken various initiatives  to bridge the gap between education and industry. 

Darshan Sagar is UGC NET Qualified-2021 (national-level exam in India that determines eligibility for teaching and research positions in universities and colleges) and has actively contributed to national-level innovation challenges as an Evaluator & Mentor for Kavach 2023, Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2022, and Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav 2022.  His expertise spans higher education, mentorship, and student development, ensuring that learners gain practical exposure to emerging technologies.

Since joining the Qlik Academic Program, Darshan has incorporated Qlik Sense training, qualifications, certifications, and club activities into his curriculum. These initiatives have helped his students develop hands-on experience with data visualization, business intelligence, and analytics, preparing them for careers in data-driven roles.

Darshan was drawn to Qlik because of its comprehensive learning resources, free access to advanced data analytics tools, and a strong commitment to fostering data literacy among students. Recognizing the growing industry demand for data-driven decision-making, he firmly believes in equipping students with knowledge in Qlik Sense and expertise to enhance their employability.

As an NPTEL BELIEVER-24, ENTHUSIAST-24, and DISCIPLINED-24, Darshan says, “I am dedicated to lifelong learning and continuously upgrading my skills to empower students with industry-relevant knowledge”

He further adds that this year as a Qlik Educator Ambassador, he is excited to establish a Data Analytics Students Club at Silver Oak University, inspired by the success of Data Analytics Students Club at Anurag Group of Institutions in Hyderabad. With the mission to equip students with the right analytics skills, this club will focus on providing hands-on training through learning sessions, events, program simulations, and guest lectures. Darshan emphasizes that his goal is to train students as Data Scientists, using Qlik Sense and other leading analytics technologies to solve real-world problems. The club will also facilitate regular technology training hours, hackathons, and interactions with industry experts, further enriching the students' learning experience.

Beyond teaching, Darshan likes traveling, and spending time with his family, which includes his father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law.

He looks forward to collaborating with fellow educators in the Qlik Educator Ambassador Program, contributing to the global academic community, and shaping the next generation of data-literate professionals.
