Digital Vidya being one of the continent’s leading digital marketing training agency teaching digital marketing course in India. I started my teaching career in 2009 and at the same time Digital Vidya started offering Digital Marketing Training services across the country in format of workshops. They had hosted more than 200 workshops by 2012 which is spectacular. Both the founders Kapil Nakra and Pradeep Chopra have been the pillars of Digital Marketing in India. I have invited them in Digital Marketing Conferences and they have delivered exceptionally structured speeches.

I am in love with the way they are able to scale the business to this level. In fact, it is so brilliant to know that they have worked with over 10000 brands from diverse industry verticals, since its inception back in 2009.

9 ways Digital Vidya distinguishes itself from the other Digital Marketing Courses:

  2. Their expertise ranges through different forms of digital marketing with some of them having more than a decade of experience up their sleeves.

  6. They are one of top performing websites in India both Google Adwords or SEO wise when anything related to Digital Marketing Training and Courses is being searched for in India.
  7. Their Digital Marketing blog has enough content on various industry verticals which is a great inbound marketing tactic adapted.
  8. All in all, Digital Vidya gains full marks in their Digital Marketing efforts. If you preach what you teach – you are probably the best Guru in the town.
  9. Digital Vidya acquired Digital Academy India which is yet another Digital Marketing Training company that was trying to carve it’s niche into this domain with some exceptional trainers.

    That’s a grt review. I personally like Digital Vidya for the webinars from industry leaders. But I believe there are budding new digital marketing centers coming up with a vision of quality education and keeping education less commercialized. One such I know is Talenteye Academy in Bangalore. They offer classroom program in digital marketing and trigger your nerves to think and analyze during class over case studies.

    Ten ways how Digital Vidya Cheats people

    I tried to contact the CEO of DV, but the office said i cant talk to him as i he is too busy and dont like to talk to me. So i have decided to post some questions in the comment. Lets see if it reaches him.

    Hi Pradeep Chopra

    My Name is Balaji Devanathan, I am not a Fake id as you are mentioning these days, you can check your Database.

    The following are the complaints against Digital Vidya

    1) The Training for the Digital Marketing courses is very basic, even if we go through FB or Twitter we can learn more than what is taught in DV.

    2) For admitting a candidate DV sales team can tell any number of promises without substance.

    3) Recently DV introduced 2.0 Format, In Which There will be one or two videos for 1.5 to 2 hrs. Which will be so boring. Then it will be discussed during the webinar. in that, the trainer will just graze the grass and go and it will be a total disappointment.

    4) Knowing about 2.0 Format, I have not opted for that. but for my last module, they were forcing me to do it in that format. which is totally unethical.

    5)There were 18 Special modules in their curriculum apart from 7 Core modules. Since I am working, I opted for weekend classes. During Counselling the sales personnel of DV didn’t tell that the special modules will be only on weekdays. I could not attend single module as I could not be available on Weekdays. if it was told earlier I would not have enrolled to join the course.

    6) During the counseling and in their course brochures they promised to provide access to tools for practicing worth 75,000. This is another fraudulent act. The tools were already available for free in trial and DV has no role in getting them any access to the participants.

    7) The tools they promised to provide will never be discussed by any of the trainers at any point in time. As if it is discussed the participants would come to know they ‘ve been deceived by DV. So the trainers carefully avoid to even mention about the tools.

    8) The Trainers of DV are very ordinary and the curriculum is very basic, Definitely it not worth spending money taking digital marketing course with DV.

    9) The Coordinators were never available for any assistance.

    10) DV digital Marketing Courses are over hyped and over Priced product with no value.

    I requested for my refund as DV has never fulfilled their promises. but I am not getting any reply so far for any of my concerns raised.

    I request Pradeep, CEO to clarify and refund the money as the promises made by them were false.

    Thanks and Regards
    Balaji
