From a coffee-table debate to a group of institutions
In the winter of 1991, five young minds debated the value of education over a coffee table: how could India prepare world-class human resources when government funds alone could not build world-class institutions? The answer they arrived at, private entrepreneurship in self-financing mode, shaped everything that followed.
They did not start a college. They started a software company, Trident Softech Pvt. Ltd., and through it a corporate finishing school where graduates were trained in specialised software and went on to secure jobs in overseas markets. From that finishing school, the group grew into many sectors of organised education, and today also maintains a presence in corporate business and NGO activities.
