प्रज्ञा पेटिका — Pragya means wisdom, and Petika is a box or casket. Together: a box of wisdom you open to find what’s worth knowing.
What it is
An independent digest of what’s new across three pillars: Data (Databricks and the Lakehouse), BI (Power BI and Microsoft Fabric) and AI (tools and GenAI). Every update is summarised in plain language and linked to the vendor’s own documentation, so you can check the facts in one click.
How it’s made
Facts come from official release notes and documentation. Summaries, stories and infographics are original. Practitioner topics are paraphrased from community newsletters, never copied. Pragya Petika is not affiliated with or endorsed by any vendor.
