About

India generates 1.5M engineering graduates each year out of which only 3% have the required skill set for a software job. Imagine building a school that adds value to each and every student and focuses on their holistic all-round development. A place that rewards students on trials and not on outcomes and focuses on learning in groups and teams. Our college education is broken, but is there an alternative? Let's build one. If this sounds exciting, let's connect.
