The Vedica Quantitative Centre
As workplaces today become increasingly data-driven and numeracy dependent, the demand for young professionals skilled in quantitative thought has risen. The Vedica Quant Centre aims to equip the next generation of women professionals with key quantitative and problem-solving aptitude required to excel in their careers.
The Centre helps each Scholar bridge their gaps in statistics and data literacy from a management perspective; overcome their unique technical and conceptual challenges; and gain confidence and competence in their ability to handle data-driven business challenges.
With the aim of building strong foundations, the Centre focuses on developing inner conceptual clarity & sound technical understanding in each Scholar.
Why VQC?
“The stereotype of women being bad at numbers feeds into the fear of the subject. We need to chip away at these stereotypes at every opportunity if we want a more equal world”

Scholars Speak
I was afraid of numbers before. The one-on-one sessions that we have in VQC brought a lot of clarity in concepts. I feel much more comfortable and confident with numbers now. The instructors have been very patient and supportive.

The course content was challenging, well-structured, and highly relevant from a work/employment perspective. Maths is not escapable: every day we encounter it, even if we are not aware of it. I am confident in my maths abilities thanks to VQC!

I am from the Humanities stream and had lost touch with maths since high school. VQC helped me brush up my basics and made it accessible to all. The instructors ensured that we were actually learning and paid extra attention to weaker students in class.

VQC taught us topics that we actually apply in our day-to-day activities. It gave me the confidence to speak out more and question the methods that we were just taught in school but were never explained.
