We are proud to share a special milestone in our journey. Biplob Mandal, CEO of Digital Business Solutions IT (DBS IT), has been honoured with the Career Transformation Leader of the Year 2026 award at the Maharashtra Spotlight Awards, presented by Indian Republic Time.
This recognition is not just a proud moment for our team. It represents the dreams of people who want to move beyond their current jobs, learn new skills, and build a better future in the IT industry.
At DBS IT, we have helped more than 3,500 individuals transition from non-IT backgrounds towards IT careers. Their journeys remind us that your educational background does not have to decide where your career ends.
Biplob Mandal Wins Career Transformation Leader of the Year 2026
The Maharashtra Spotlight Awards recognise an important milestone in Biplob Mandal’s work in career transformation.
As the CEO of DBS IT, his focus has been on helping people understand that the IT industry offers opportunities beyond software development and coding. Many roles require analytical thinking, communication, business knowledge, and problem-solving skills, along with relevant technical training.
Consider a person working in banking who wants better career growth. Or a BPO professional who feels stuck doing the same tasks every day. Perhaps a B.Com graduate wants to explore a career with more learning opportunities.
These individuals may have the potential to build a career in IT, but they might not know where to start.
This is where we aim to make a difference.
For us, the award is a reminder of why career guidance matters. Sometimes, people do not lack ability. They simply lack the right direction, practical learning, and confidence to take the next step.
Can You Really Switch from Non-IT to IT Without a Technical Degree?
One of the biggest questions we hear is: “I am from a non-IT background. Can I really get a job in IT?”
The answer depends on the role you choose, the skills you develop, and how well you prepare. A technical degree is required for some positions, but it is not a universal requirement for every IT career.
Graduates from BA, B.Com, BBA, MBA, and other backgrounds can explore suitable opportunities by learning the skills relevant to their target roles.
For example, someone with a business background may explore Business Analysis. A person who enjoys working with numbers may consider Data Analysis. Those interested in troubleshooting and systems may explore Technical Support or Cloud Support after gaining the necessary knowledge.
The important thing is to choose the right path instead of trying to learn everything at once.
At DBS IT, we help learners understand different IT career options and build their knowledge step by step. We explain concepts in simple language so that beginners can develop their understanding without feeling overwhelmed by technical terms.
Your starting point matters, but it does not have to limit your next step.
How DBS IT Helps Non-IT Professionals Prepare for IT Careers
Changing careers can feel confusing when you do not know which skills to learn or how IT interviews work. Our structured career transition program is designed to help learners approach this journey with greater clarity.
1. Learn IT Skills Through Practical Training
Our training covers important subjects such as SQL, Linux, Unix, NoSQL, and Business Analysis.
Instead of focusing only on theory, we help learners understand the practical use of these concepts. For instance, SQL helps users retrieve and manage data, while Linux introduces learners to operating system commands and basic system operations.
We break down concepts into manageable steps so that learners can build their understanding gradually.
2. Get Support Through Live and Recorded Classes
Many learners are already working and cannot always follow a fixed study schedule.
Our program includes live classes, recorded lectures, and doubt-solving sessions. This gives learners opportunities to interact, revisit lessons, and clarify concepts they find difficult.
The goal is to make learning more flexible and help learners remain consistent throughout their training.
3. Practise Before Facing Real Interviews
Knowing a subject and explaining it confidently in an interview are two different things.
That is why our program includes mock tests, mock interviews, communication sessions, and interview presentation practice.
Learners get opportunities to assess their understanding, improve their answers, and identify areas that need more preparation.
We also guide them in presenting their previous experience in a way that connects with the IT roles they want to pursue.
4. Prepare for Interviews with a Clear Plan
Our program follows a three-month structure, with two months focused on practical training and the third month dedicated to end-to-end interview preparation.
Learners receive guidance on profile building, interview practice, and presenting their skills professionally. We also provide continued learning support to help them navigate their career journey.
While training can improve preparation, job offers and salary packages depend on individual skills, experience, interview performance, and employer requirements.
Which IT Jobs Can You Explore After a Non-IT Background?
Here is where things become interesting. An IT career does not always mean becoming a programmer.
Depending on your interests, preparation, and the requirements of employers, you may explore several career paths.
- Business Analyst: Understand business needs, document requirements, and help connect business teams with technology teams.
- Data Analyst: Work with data, reports, and tools such as SQL to support business decisions.
- Technical Support: Help users resolve technical issues and understand computer systems.
- Cloud Support: Learn about cloud platforms, operating systems, and infrastructure support.
- Cybersecurity: Build knowledge of system security, networks, and methods used to protect digital information.
- Quality Assurance (QA): Check whether software works as expected and meets defined requirements.
- IT Project Management: Support project planning, coordination, communication, and delivery.
Each role has different requirements. The best choice depends on what interests you, what you are willing to learn, and how your existing experience can support your transition.
From Better Salary to Better Growth: Why People Choose IT
For many working professionals, the decision to switch careers begins with a simple thought: “Is this really where I want to be five years from now?”
Some people want better salary opportunities. Others want to move away from repetitive work, explore new responsibilities, or find a career with more learning and growth.
The IT industry can offer different career paths, but making the transition requires effort. You need to develop relevant skills, understand the role you are targeting, and prepare to demonstrate your knowledge during interviews.
At DBS IT, we help learners focus on these practical steps instead of feeling lost among hundreds of courses and career options.
We believe that career growth becomes easier to work towards when you have a clear learning plan and understand what your chosen role requires.
More Than 3,500 Career Journeys: The Motivation Behind DBS IT
Every career transition starts with a decision to try something different.
Our experience helping more than 3,500 individuals move from non-IT backgrounds towards IT careers has strengthened our commitment to accessible IT education and career guidance.
We know that starting something new can be challenging, especially when you have spent years studying or working in a different field. Questions about technical skills, interviews, and future opportunities are natural.
Our aim is to help learners address these questions through practical training, structured preparation, and guidance that makes the process easier to understand.
The Career Transformation Leader of the Year 2026 award adds another proud chapter to this journey. It encourages us to continue helping more people discover opportunities they may not have considered before.
A New Chapter for Career Transformation at DBS IT
Winning the Career Transformation Leader of the Year 2026 award at the Maharashtra Spotlight Awards, presented by Indian Republic Time, is a proud moment for Biplob Mandal and the entire DBS IT team.
But the bigger story is about the people who decide to learn something new, challenge their own doubts, and work towards a different future.
If you come from a non-IT background, remember that you do not need to know everything on your first day. You need to understand your options, choose a suitable career path, and start building the skills required for it.
A degree in commerce, arts, business, or another field does not automatically close the door to IT. With the right preparation and consistent effort, you can explore opportunities that match your strengths and ambitions.
Your first job does not have to be your final destination. Your career story can still change.
At Digital Business Solutions IT, we remain committed to helping non-IT graduates and working professionals take informed steps towards a future in technology.
