Noida Institute of Engineering & Technology (NIET), Greater Noida, announced a collaboration with Salesforce, to establish a Tableau Lab, with an aim to build data literacy and analytical skills among students. This pioneering initiative addresses India's growing demand for data-skilled professionals by offering students hands-on experience with Tableau, the AI-first analytics platform that turns data into action. The lab will focus on agentic analytics, enabling students to go beyond simple visualization to build expertise in business intelligence and turn trusted insights into autonomous action.
Salesforce will co-design a curriculum to create the Tableau
Lab, grounded in the vision of democratizing analytics through AI-first
capabilities, while providing comprehensive faculty training. The curriculum
will create an immersive learning environment featuring Tableau Agent, bringing
conversational AI to the forefront of the student experience. Through lectures,
tutorials, and practical exercises, students will master natural language data
exploration and learn to utilize Q&A calibration to tune AI responses for
accuracy.
Romil Agarwal, VP, Sales, Salesforce India, said, “For a
nation as vast and diverse as India, data is more than just information—it’s
the very language of our progress. The ability to harness an agentic data
landscape, where AI doesn't just show us insights but proactively acts upon
them, is one of the most critical skills for the future. India’s vast talent
pool holds immense potential, and initiatives like the Tableau Lab are empowering
students to master these agentic workflows, unlocking their potential to become
the next generation of leaders. We are thrilled to collaborate with NIET to
inspire and equip these young professionals to drive meaningful, autonomous
impact across industries.”
Dr. Neema Agarwal,
Additional Managing Director, NIET Greater Noida, said, "At NIET, we are
committed to equipping our students with the skills and mindset to lead in a
data-driven world. The Tableau Lab initiative is a part of our commitment to
integrating cutting-edge technology with industry-aligned education. By
collaborating with Salesforce, we are giving our students the opportunity to
explore new ways of thinking with data, develop analytical confidence, and
embrace innovation and insight as drivers of real-world impact."
She added, “Salesforce and Tableau offer cutting-edge AI and
analytics capabilities through platforms like Agentforce and Tableau Next.
Their solutions also provide enterprise-grade security and scalability powered
by Salesforce Hyperforce and Data Cloud. This partnership ensures students gain
access to these latest innovations, preparing them for the future of work.”
Dr. Vinod M Kapse,
Director, NIET Greater Noida, shared, “This partnership strengthens NIET’s goal
of bridging the gap between academic learning and industry expectations.
Collaborations with global technology leaders like Salesforce enables us to
offer students internships, live projects, and industry-recognised
certifications, significantly enhancing their employability. With platforms
like Tableau Cloud and Data Cloud, we can build scalable, secure, and
AI-powered learning environments that support personalized learning paths,
real-time feedback, and performance tracking.”
Dr. Anil Kumar Ahlawat, Director (Academics), NIET Greater
Noida, said, “Data analytics and visualization have become essential to
decision-making across every industry. The Tableau Lab will therefore be
accessible to students across all programs and degree levels—from undergraduate
to postgraduate and research - ensuring broad-based exposure to these critical
skills. Our collaboration with Salesforce and Tableau reflects NIET’s
commitment to aligning education with the evolving demands of the digital
economy. By integrating these platforms into our curriculum, we are giving
students hands-on experience in CRM, cloud technologies, data visualization,
and analytics - skills that are in high demand across sectors including IT,
