Times computers

Business Owner

Apr 1995 – Apr 2000 · 5 yrs · New Delhi Area, India

Ran a successful computer training and services business across multiple locations. Right from distributing fliers outside schools, setting up tables during college fests, sitting on front desk to handle enquiries, troubleshooting the network when it went down, helping design the courseware, teaching basic courses, conducting exams to managing the setting up of new centers, handling the book of accounts, taxes, etc. Started as a summer project before graduation, continued as a side hustle during it, and became a full time job for an year after graduation.
Best part: Still get ex-students, who are now IT professionals, popping up on LinkedIn remembering that the first time they worked on a computer was in one of our labs.
