FOUNDED 2021 · BANGALORE + BERLIN

A data school built
by data people,
for the next 50,000
data careers.

We started Datalume because the gap between a YouTube tutorial and a real data job kept getting wider. So we built the bridge — live, mentored, accountable, and stubborn about outcomes.

Our principles

Six things
we will not compromise on.

01

Outcomes over content

We do not measure ourselves on hours produced. We measure on offers signed.

02

Live > recorded

Recorded lessons exist for revision. Cohorts exist for accountability. Both, always.

03

Real industry, real briefs

Every capstone has a real partner with a real problem. No fake "Olist e-commerce dataset" finales.

04

Refund if we fail

If we do not get you placed in 6 months, we refund every rupee. The contract is short and in plain English.

05

Mentor not professor

Our teachers are still shipping. They teach how the work actually feels — including the parts that are tedious.

06

Honesty in marketing

We publish raw placement numbers, including the people we could not place. No vanity stats.
