Anamika Borah

I am always fascinated by psychology, and psychology in cyberspace makes it one notch better. Invigorating discussions, topics to prod further and the facilitator Ms. Ritu Saggar’s encouraging discussions-It was a very stimulating 2 weeks of learning in the ISAC ICCP course helped me to see the rationale behind the irrational behaviour of many. Will definitely help in my career. 

Ms Lakshmi Mini

The ICCP course by ISAC was incredibly insightful, with Ritu ma’am delivering engaging, interactive sessions. It provided a unique perspective on the psychological impact of cyberspace and societal shifts in the digital age. The modules on addiction and online relationships were especially valuable. I’m excited to apply these insights in my role at CopConnect.
