Anaplan is the world's leading connected planning platform — used by 2,400+ companies globally including Amazon, Google, Unilever, HSBC and hundreds of India's largest enterprises for financial planning, workforce planning, sales forecasting and supply chain optimisation. Anaplan-certified professionals are among the most sought-after and best-paid specialists in the finance, consulting and technology sectors.
If your organisation still plans in Excel — with hundreds of tabs, broken formulas and version control nightmares — you already understand the problem Anaplan solves. Here's exactly why it's different.
Anaplan connects finance, HR, sales and supply chain into one real-time planning environment — so every function works from the same data, same assumptions and same plan.
Anaplan's proprietary in-memory calculation engine handles billions of cells across multiple dimensions in seconds — what would crash Excel, Anaplan handles effortlessly.
Native connectors to Salesforce, SAP, Workday, Oracle, NetSuite and most major ERPs — so Anaplan becomes the planning hub your existing systems feed into.
Banking, FMCG, pharma, technology, retail, manufacturing — Anaplan is platform-agnostic and has been deployed for FP&A, workforce planning, demand planning and more across every major sector.
Anaplan is not a niche tool. It is the enterprise standard for connected planning — and demand for certified professionals far outstrips supply in India right now.
Build P&L models, budget vs actuals tracking, rolling forecasts and variance analysis that update in real time as business conditions change.
👤 Finance & FP&A TeamsModel headcount, hiring plans, org structure scenarios, attrition forecasting and people costs — connected directly to finance for integrated planning.
👤 HR & Talent PlanningDemand forecasting, inventory optimisation, supplier planning and capacity models that connect supply chain decisions to financial outcomes.
👤 Operations & SCM TeamsSales quota setting, territory design, pipeline forecasting, incentive compensation modelling and top-down / bottom-up revenue planning.
👤 Sales Ops & Revenue TeamsModel commission structures, bonus schemes, ESOP plans and variable pay calculations — replacing complex Excel compensation models with auditable Anaplan models.
👤 Compensation & RewardsLong-range CAPEX planning, project portfolio prioritisation, depreciation modelling and capital allocation scenarios aligned with strategic objectives.
👤 Finance & Strategy TeamsAnaplan has its own architecture philosophy — understanding these building blocks is what separates a certified model builder from someone who has just clicked around the interface.
The top-level container — a model houses all lists, modules, dashboards and integrations for a planning use case.
Grids of data organised by lists. Every calculation, input and output in Anaplan lives inside a module.
The dimensions of your model — products, regions, cost centres, employees, time periods. Lists define what you plan across.
The rows of a module — each line item is a data point or formula. The heart of all Anaplan calculations.
Anaplan's own formula language — similar to Excel but applied across dimensions. No VBA, no macros, just clean formula logic.
Automated workflows — imports, exports, delete actions and process chains that keep your model in sync with source data.
Anaplan's presentation layer — boards and pages where end users enter data, view outputs and make planning decisions.
Connecting Anaplan to SAP, Salesforce, Workday, SQL databases and any data source via CloudWorks, Data Hub or REST API.
Managing multi-level hierarchies (country → region → store) and planning versions (Actuals, Budget, Forecast, Scenarios).
Configuring who sees what in Anaplan — model roles, selective access and data privacy controls for enterprise deployments.
Best-practice architecture for large Anaplan deployments — using a central Data Hub model to feed spoke planning models.
PLANS methodology, model optimisation, avoiding common anti-patterns and building models that scale cleanly to enterprise size.
10 modules from Anaplan basics to advanced multi-model architecture — with 40+ build exercises in a real Anaplan workspace at every step.
The Anaplan Model Builder certifications are globally recognised by every major company that uses Anaplan. This course prepares you for all three levels.

Anaplan specialists are among the most highly compensated consultants in the finance technology space in India — and the talent shortage is severe.
I was an FP&A analyst drowning in Excel models. After Aapvex's Anaplan course I cleared Model Builder Level 1 and Level 2 in the same month and joined a Big 4 as an Anaplan consultant. The trainer's knowledge of real-world Anaplan deployments is exceptional — this is not textbook training.
The FP&A modelling and workforce planning modules were outstanding. I built models during the course that I literally used in my first client engagement. The depth of formula training at Aapvex is the best I've seen — including Anaplan's own official training materials.
I came in with SAP BPC experience. This course gave me everything I needed to transition to Anaplan — and the Data Hub architecture module was particularly valuable. Six months after completing the course I was leading my own Anaplan implementation project. Worth every rupee.

Anaplan is a cloud-based connected planning platform used by over 2,400 enterprises globally — including Amazon, Google, HSBC, Unilever, Dell and hundreds of India's largest companies — for financial planning, workforce planning, sales forecasting and supply chain. In India, the adoption of Anaplan is growing extremely rapidly, particularly at MNCs, GCCs, Big 4 consulting firms and digital-first companies. The problem is that while companies are implementing Anaplan aggressively, the number of certified Anaplan professionals in India is tiny — creating one of the most significant skills gaps in the enterprise technology market. A certified Anaplan model builder in India can command salaries and project rates that are 2–4x higher than their peers with similar years of experience but without this skill.
A basic familiarity with finance concepts — budgets, P&L, forecasts — is helpful because most Anaplan use cases are finance or planning related. However, it is not a hard requirement. Many of our students come from IT, consulting and business analysis backgrounds and learn the finance concepts they need alongside the platform. Anaplan is a no-code platform — you build models using Anaplan's own formula syntax, which is conceptually similar to Excel but more powerful. No programming experience is required. If you can use Excel at an intermediate level, you have the foundation to learn Anaplan.
Yes. Every student gets access to a real Anaplan workspace for the duration of the course. All 40+ build exercises and projects are done in a live Anaplan environment — not a simulator, not a demo recording, not screenshots. You will build real models that you can save, screenshot and include in your portfolio and that demonstrate real, verified Anaplan skills to employers and clients.
Yes. The curriculum is specifically aligned with the Anaplan Model Builder Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 certification exams. We cover all exam domains with dedicated revision sessions, practice question sets and mock assessments. We also provide guidance on registering for the official Anaplan certification exams through Anaplan's official certification portal.
Fees start from ₹15,999. Zero-cost EMI is available on major credit and debit cards — making it as affordable as ₹2,000–3,000 per month. Contact us at 7796731656 to confirm the current batch fee and check for any active scholarships or early-bird discounts.
You will build 8+ major Anaplan projects: a complete 3-statement FP&A model (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow), a bottom-up budget with rolling forecast, a workforce planning model with headcount and people costs, a sales planning model with quota and commission, a demand-supply planning model, an Anaplan UX dashboard for a CFO, a data integration workflow, and a capstone connected planning solution for a realistic multi-function business scenario. All projects go directly into your Anaplan portfolio.
Anaplan's official training (Anaplan Learning) is primarily self-paced e-learning — good for reference, but limited for actual model building depth. At Aapvex you get live trainer-led sessions where a working Anaplan consultant answers your questions in real time, structured hands-on model building projects with feedback, peer learning with other finance and IT professionals, and critically — placement support and interview preparation that Anaplan's own training platform does not provide. Our trainers are working Anaplan consultants with real client delivery experience.
The primary hirers are: (1) Big 4 consulting firms — Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG all have active Anaplan practices and regularly hire model builders; (2) Specialist Anaplan partner firms; (3) MNCs and GCCs implementing Anaplan in-house for finance and planning transformation; (4) Technology companies moving from SAP BPC, Hyperion or Adaptive Insights to Anaplan. The most in-demand roles are Anaplan Model Builder, Anaplan Implementation Consultant and Connected Planning Manager. LinkedIn India shows 200+ active Anaplan job listings at any given time.
Batches are limited to 15–20 students to ensure hands-on, personalised attention. Live sessions run 3 times per week, approximately 2 hours per session. You get access to recorded sessions for revision, a private student community and direct trainer WhatsApp access throughout the course. Weekend batches are available for working professionals who cannot attend weekday sessions.
Yes — 100% placement support is included. This covers resume rewriting specifically for Anaplan and FP&A roles, LinkedIn optimisation, mock technical interviews covering Anaplan model building, formula scenarios and architecture questions, referrals to our network of 200+ hiring companies including consulting firms, MNCs and GCCs, and 6 months of active job alerts post-completion. We actively connect students with Anaplan practice leads at Big 4 firms and specialist consultancies.
