Do verified certifications from edX (IIMBx -IIM Bangalore in my case) add brownie points to one's resume?

The simple answer is yes, verified certificates from edX do add value to your resume. But the point is that only adding value to your resume is not sufficient. You should broaden your approach and consider this certification more than just adding value. Use it to inculcate skills that will help you in this fast-paced world. If you do this certification wholw_heartedly you will gain confidence to present yourself for the interview and also give the impression that you are constantly working towards improving yourself.

So the certificate itself won't be much beneficial in the long run but the skills acquired from it will.
