It started with one classroom and a fairly ordinary complaint.
Students were finishing courses with certificates and no ability to do the work. Twelve years later we are still solving the same problem, just at a different scale.
2014 — the complaint
A training market full of certificates and short of competence.
The work started in 2014 in West Bengal, teaching small batches of students who had already been through a computer training institute and could not do the job they had trained for. They knew the menu items in the software. They had never made a decision with it.
The fix was unglamorous: smaller batches, teachers who still worked in the field, and one real project per student that somebody senior actually criticised. It was slower to run and harder to staff than playing recorded lectures, and it worked.
2016 to 2020 — growth, and a mistake
The lesson that shaped everything after it.
Word spread and the catalogue widened. At the peak we were teaching subjects our own team did not practise, because there was demand and a trainer could be found. Enrolments went up. The quality of what students could actually do afterwards did not.
That was the useful mistake. Teaching a subject well requires having someone who does it for a living, and there is a hard limit on how many of those you can genuinely assemble.
2020 to 2023 — online, properly
Live, not recorded.
When teaching moved online, most providers moved to recordings. We moved the live class online instead and kept the batch sizes small, which was more expensive and preserved the only thing that mattered.
It also removed geography. Students from Kolkata, Asansol and Durgapur were joined by students from Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and eventually from outside India.
2024 to today — narrowing on purpose
Where we are now.
We cut the catalogue back to one band: running a business, growing it, reading its numbers, and putting AI and cloud to work inside it. Nineteen programs where we have real practitioners, instead of forty where we did not.
Alumni now work at companies including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, IBM, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Flipkart and several banks. The delivery model has not changed since the first classroom: live classes, real projects, mentors who still do the work.
Made in Kolkata, trusted across India — and still the same complaint we started with, which is that a certificate should mean somebody checked.
The rest of the story is what you can build.
