Talent Meets Opportunity – GDC Tatva Graduates and Hires First Cohort of 25 Enterprise IT Engineers from Almora
Almora (Uttarakhand) [India], April 29: India’s IT story is evolving in unexpected ways. Not in Bengaluru. Not in Hyderabad. But in a small village called Taradi in Almora district, Uttarakhand, high up in the Himalayas, where the air is crisp, and the nearest metro city is miles away.
Here, Team Computershas done something the industry has long assumed was impractical: built a fully operational Global Delivery Centre (GDC) – trained from scratch, certified to global standards, and now running live enterprise IT operations for real clients.
GDC Tatva has successfully transitioned from a visionary pilot to a high-performance engine for IT Managed Services. By proving that enterprise-grade IT operations can thrive in the heart of rural India, Team Computers is setting a new standard for decentralised global delivery.
The success of this centre rests on a simple yet profound realisation: The talent was always there. Team Computers just created the Opportunity.
A Technical Forge in the Himalayas
GDC Tatva was not built as a goodwill gesture. It was built as a delivery model – one designed to meet the same commercial and quality standards as any Tier-1 metro facility, with the added conviction that rural India holds untapped technical potential that the industry has consistently overlooked.
The centre recently celebrated the graduation and hiring of its first cohort of 20–25 professionals, each of whom underwent an exhaustive 6 to 12-month technical training programme. Every candidate was sourced locally from the Almora region. Every candidate was trained to the same benchmarks applied to engineers in Delhi, Mumbai, or Bengaluru. No standards were lowered. No shortcuts were taken.
This was not a standard orientation. It was a deep-dive technical forge.
This first batch of engineers was trained and certified across five critical enterprise IT domains:
Cloud Infrastructure Management
Network Engineering & Security
Database Administration & Optimisation
End-User Support & Service Desk Excellence
Backup, Recovery & Storage Solutions
Certified. Hired. Operational.
To ensure GDC Tatva operates with the same precision as a Tier-1 metro facility, each trainee was required to pass a rigorous internal certification process designed to meet global industry benchmarks before being considered for full-time employment.
Today, these 25 engineers are no longer trainees. They are full-time employees of Team Computers – operating as L0 and L1 support specialists, managing complex technical stacks, ensuring client uptime, and delivering seamless support for a diverse enterprise portfolio.
From the quiet hills of Almora, Uttarakhand, they are indistinguishable in output from any enterprise IT professional working out of India’s largest cities.
The GDC Vision: Moving Beyond the Metro
The Almora centre is a proof-of-concept for a larger strategic movement – one that directly addresses the two most persistent challenges facing India’s IT services industry today.
The first is talent saturation in metros. India’s major tech hubs face increasing competition for skilled professionals, driving up attrition, inflating costs, and compressing the loyalty that enterprise clients depend on for service continuity.
The second is attrition itself. Metro-based IT professionals have abundant options and limited geographic anchoring. The result is churn that disrupts client relationships and erodes institutional knowledge.
GDC Tatva addresses both simultaneously. By training professionals in their home region – where their families are, where their roots are, where the cost of living bears no comparison to metro equivalents – Team Computers is building a workforce with something no recruitment package can manufacture: a genuine reason to stay.
“The goal of GDC Tatva is to bring the work to where the talent resides. By investing 12 months into grooming local youth, we are not just filling roles – we are building a loyal, highly skilled, and sustainable workforce that can compete with any global tech hub.”
– Ranjan Chopra, Founder & Managing Director, Team Computers
The Path Forward
The successful integration of the Almora cohort is the beginning, not the conclusion. GDC Tatva is designed as a replicable model – to be established across multiple locations in interior India, each one identifying local talent, training it to global standards, and deploying it in service of enterprises that have, until now, only looked to metros for delivery capability.
This model also serves a purpose that extends beyond Team Computers’ own growth strategy. It is a direct contribution to India’s vision of Viksit Bharat – a developed nation where economic opportunity is not confined to a handful of urban centres, and where the next generation of IT excellence is not defined by a city’s skyline, but by the skill, commitment, and dedication of its people.
Team Computers remains committed to expanding this decentralised delivery network – ensuring that talent, wherever it resides, is met with the opportunity it deserves.

Over 100 students from 46 universities across India gathered at North India’s oldest university to debate the question every institution, employer, and policy-maker is quietly wrestling with: what does talent look like in an age when machines can do almost everything faster than us?
Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], April 29: Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], April 28: There is something fitting about a debate on artificial intelligence taking place in a university that has been building human minds for over three decades. Sardar Bhagwan Singh University (SBS University), Dehradun, North India’s oldest university with a 32-year legacy, concluded the 17th edition of the Sardar Gurcharan Singh Memorial National Debate Competition on April 4, 2026, with the kind of intellectual energy that reminded everyone in the room why human conversation still matters, even in an AI-driven world.
The theme this year was not chosen at random: “The Age of Artificial Intelligence is Redefining the Meaning of Talent and Leadership.” With over 80 teams registered from universities across India, 46 shortlisted, and more than 100 students stepping onto the competition floor, the debate was as much a reflection of the times as it was a contest. For a single day on a 25-acre campus in Dehradun, young voices took on the biggest question in contemporary education: what does a human being bring to the table that a machine cannot?
A Stage Set with Purpose
The competition opened with the lamp-lighting ceremony and the university song, a deliberate nod to tradition in a conversation entirely about the future. In his welcome address, Prof. (Dr.) J. Kumar, Vice-Chancellor of SBS University, set the intellectual tone for the day immediately.
“In the age of AI, talent is no longer about being a walking encyclopedia. It is about cognitive agility and curiosity. When a machine can provide the answer in seconds, the truly talented individual is the one who knows how to ask the better question. Leadership in the age of AI requires ethical stewardship, human-centric vision, and sound judgment under
uncertainty.”
— Prof. (Dr.) J. Kumar, Vice-Chancellor, SBS University
It was the kind of framing that set the competition apart from a standard university event. This was not a debate about whether AI is good or bad. It was a deeper reckoning, one that asked students to think carefully about what human beings are actually for, and what makes a leader worth following when algorithms can make faster decisions than any person in the room.
The Chief Guest: A Scientist’s Perspective on What Machines Cannot Do Dr. Ajay Kumar, Outstanding Scientist and Director of IRDE-DRDO, Dehradun, graced the inaugural session as Chief Guest. His address carried the weight of a career spent at the intersection of technology and national defence, a field where the stakes of getting AI wrong are higher than almost anywhere else.
“In this AI-driven landscape, talent has migrated from the technical to the conceptual. We no longer need human calculators; we need human architects of thought. Modern talent is found in the Three Cs: Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Compassion. While AI can synthesize existing data, it cannot experience a eureka moment born of lived experience. It can mimic style, but it cannot possess a soul. The talent of tomorrow lies in managing the machine, not competing with it.”
— Dr. Ajay Kumar, Outstanding Scientist & Director, IRDE-DRDO, Dehradun
The “Three Cs” framing, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Compassion, became something of an anchor for the day’s debates. Students returned to it repeatedly as they argued their positions, and more than one judge cited it in their feedback.
The Valedictory: On Imagination as the Real Ceiling
The closing session was addressed by Dr. S. Farooq, President of Himalaya Wellness Company, whose perspective brought a corporate and entrepreneurial lens to a day dominated by academic voices. His core argument was simple, memorable, and hard to argue with.
“We are transitioning from an age of knowing to an age of thinking. Technical skill is the floor, but imagination is the ceiling. AI is not a replacement for human intelligence; it is a magnifying glass for human creativity.”
— Dr. S. Farooq, President, Himalaya Wellness Company
Prof. Gaurav Deep Singh, President of SBS University, congratulated the winners, praised the organising team, and reaffirmed something that institutions with genuine legacy can say with credibility: that nurturing spaces for meaningful dialogue is not incidental to education. It is what education is for.
The Winners
After a day of closely contested rounds, the results were announced at the closing ceremony. The Best Team award went to Vaishali Singh and Aarushi Maikuri of SBS University itself, a moment that drew particular warmth from the home crowd. The First Prize in the English category was shared between Vaishali Singh (SBS University) and Rajshree (Doon University). Third Prize went to Aarushi Maikuri (SBS University). Bhavya Pathak (Divine College of Medical Sciences) received the Consolation Prize. The First Prize in the Hindi category to Aditya Kirti (Hindu College, University of Delhi). Second Prize to Vidhan Malik (Lovely Professional University). Third Prize to Pravez Khan (Jigyasa University, Dehradun).
The judging panel comprised Mrs. Damini Puri (Summer Valley School), Ms. Poonam Gupta (Head, Engineering Services & AFLAD, CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun), and Dr. Sunil Kumar Pathak (Chief Scientist and Head, Climate Change and Data Science Division, CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun). Their assessments drew on expertise spanning education, science, and applied research, a panel as multi-disciplinary as the competition’s theme demanded.
A University That Has Been Doing This for 32 Years
Events like the Sardar Gurcharan Singh Memorial Debate do not happen in isolation. They are expressions of a culture, and SBS University’s culture has been building for over three decades. As North India’s oldest university, UGC-listed and approved by AICTE, PCI, and IAP, the institution has long believed that what happens outside the lecture hall shapes students as much as what happens inside it.
The numbers reflect this. With a 90%+ placement rate, 500+ companies visiting campus annually, 200+ placements every year, and a highest package of ₹15 LPA+, SBS University’s graduates are clearly
entering the workforce ready. The 70+ expert faculty, of whom 60+ hold Ph.D. degrees, work with a 15:1 student-faculty ratio that makes real mentorship possible, not just a talking point in a brochure.
The research ecosystem is equally serious. Over 1,000 research publications, 50+ patents, and 30+ government-funded projects, backed by more than ₹2 crore in research grants from DST, AYUSH, UCOST, and USERC, make SBS University one of the more productive research institutions of its size in the country. The dedicated Institution’s Innovation Cell (IIC) adds an entrepreneurial layer to this, giving students who want to build something a real infrastructure to do it in.
And then there are the 11,000+ alumni, working at AIIMS, Apollo, Fortis, PSUs, and international universities, who are themselves the most honest measure of what the university has built over 32 years.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 29: Not every change in education makes noise. Some of it happens quietly—over years, sometimes decades—through people who are more focused on building than announcing. Dr. Kiran Pai’s work sits somewhere in that space.
As Co-Founder & Pro Chancellor of Vidyashilp University, and Managing Director of the Vidyashilp Education Group, she has spent over two decades working across different layers of the system. Policy, classrooms, institutions—it’s been a mix, not a straight line.
Dr. Kiran Pai’s academic grounding and approach
Her academic background, a doctorate in Organisational Change and Leadership from the USC Rossier School of Education, explains part of the approach. There’s structure in how things are built. But the bigger story is in how that thinking has been applied over time, without rushing it.
Dr. Kiran Pai and the growth of the Vidyashilp ecosystem
The Vidyashilp ecosystem didn’t appear all at once. It grew gradually—from the long-running Vidyasagar Preschool to Vidyashilp Academy, and then to newer formats like Vidyashilp Schools and Vidyashilp University. Each step seems to respond to a gap that was already visible, rather than chasing what was trending.
Dr. Kiran Pai’s focus on learning beyond structure
There’s a certain consistency in how these institutions function. Academics matter, but so does how students actually engage with what they’re learning. The classrooms are not entirely rigid, but they’re not loose either. Somewhere in between.
Global practices are part of the mix, but they aren’t copied blindly. They’re adapted, sometimes quietly, sometimes over time. It’s less about showcasing innovation and more about making sure it works.
Dr. Kiran Pai and the focus on access
Another part of the work runs parallel to this—access. Through the Vidyashilp Community Trust, more than 3,000 students across 21 underserved schools are supported. It doesn’t feel like a separate initiative. More like an extension of the same idea.
That education should reach beyond a certain circle.
Dr. Kiran Pai’s recognition and long-term perspective
Recognition has come along the way, including being named among the World Congress’s 50 Innovative Leaders. But that’s not really what defines the work. If anything, it’s the slower, less visible parts—the building, the adjustments, the continuity.
At a time when education conversations often move fast, sometimes too fast, this kind of steady approach stands out. Not because it’s loud, but because it lasts.

The eight-month executive programme is designed to help managers apply AI and Generative AI with strategic intent, business relevance and responsible leadership
Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], April 27: As Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI begin to shape not only technology functions but the broader direction of business, organisations are seeking managers who can engage with these shifts with commercial acumen and strategic clarity. Addressing this need, the Indian Institute of Management Nagpur, in collaboration with TimesPro, has launched the inaugural batch of the Post Graduate Certificate Programme in AI & GEN AI for Managers. The programme has been conceived for professionals who wish to move beyond a theoretical understanding of AI and use it as a practical enabler of decision-making, transformation and leadership.
The eight-month programme is structured across five modules that bring together core AI concepts, Generative AI applications and managerial thinking. It enables participants to assess business challenges through an AI lens, identify areas where these technologies can create genuine value and approach adoption with greater rigour and discipline. By linking technology with governance, strategy and executive judgement, the programme aims to help participants align AI initiatives more closely with organisational priorities and long-term business outcomes.
The launch comes at a time when AI is moving decisively into the mainstream of business decision-making. In India, demand for AI leadership talent has accelerated, with reports indicating a 40–60 per cent year-on-year rise in AI leadership roles in FY25, particularly across IT, consulting, global capability centres, financial services and healthcare. McKinsey’s recent work on the future of work also suggests that organisations will increasingly rely on collaboration between people, AI agents and robots, making distinctly human strengths such as judgement, creativity and contextual understanding even more critical in leadership roles.
Speaking on the announcement, Dr. Bhimraya Metri, Director, IIM Nagpur said, “Artificial Intelligence is now influencing how organisations think, compete and evolve. Managers, therefore, need more than familiarity with emerging tools; they need the ability to evaluate relevance, ask sharper questions and lead adoption with sound judgement. This programme has been designed to build that capability through a thoughtful blend of conceptual grounding, practical application and strategic insight.”
Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro said, “The market no longer rewards managers for simply understanding AI terminology. It requires leaders who can connect technology with commercial priorities, functional execution, governance and change. Our collaboration with IIM Nagpur has been shaped around that reality, creating a rigorous learning experience, applied and closely aligned with how organisations are building capability for the next phase of growth.”
The programme is suited to a broad spectrum of professionals, including mid-level managers, business heads, functional leaders, marketing and sales professionals, operations, supply chain and HR managers, finance professionals, digital transformation leads and entrepreneurs. On successful completion, participants may explore roles such as AI Strategy Lead, AI Programme Manager, Senior Manager or Functional Head, Head of AI-driven Marketing or Digital Strategy, and Head of Digital Transformation or AI Programme Director, among others.
The academic structure covers AI and Gen-AI Fundamentals, Applied Machine Learning and Advanced AI Frameworks, Leveraging AI Applications Across Business Domains, Strategic Aspects of AI and Gen-AI, and a Capstone Project on Implementing AI for Business Impact. The programme also offers exposure to a range of widely used platforms and tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, DALL·E 3 and Stable Diffusion, helping participants understand how the evolving AI ecosystem can be interpreted and applied in managerial settings.
The programme comprises 105 learning hours and will be delivered through TimesPro’s Interactive Learning platform in Direct-to-Device mode.

Aditya Gupta of Maxfort School, Rohini, scored a perfect 300/300 in JEE Main 2026
New Delhi [India], April 27: In a remarkable achievement that has set a new benchmark for JEE Main 2026, Aditya Gupta from Maxfort School Rohini has secured All India Rank 1 with a perfect score of 300/300 in the JEE Main Session 2 results. Among lakhs of aspirants competing nationwide, Aditya’s flawless performance stands as a testament to disciplined preparation and the strong academic environment that supported his journey.
While Aditya aspired to achieve the top rank, he remained grounded in the understanding that such outcomes can never be guaranteed in a highly competitive examination. With his preparation, his result stands as a powerful reminder that unwavering focus, balanced ambition, and consistency often lead to extraordinary outcomes.
A Strong Academic Foundation
Aditya’s academic journey was shaped early on within a close-knit family that placed deep value on discipline and education. Supported consistently by his parents and grandparents, he grew up in an environment that nurtured focus and purpose. He completed his schooling at Maxfort School Rohini, where teachers remember him as focused, curious, and consistent. His academic potential became evident when he excelled in his CBSE Class 10 board examinations—an early indication of the clarity and commitment that would later define his JEE Main preparation.
Two Years of Structured Preparation
Aditya began his focused preparation for JEE Main in Class 11. For two years, his routine remained disciplined and largely unchanged. On most days, he studied for nearly 12 hours, dividing his time between school, coaching, and self-study.
Rather than relying on shortcuts, he focused on strengthening his fundamentals. He made detailed notes, revised regularly, and ensured that every concept was thoroughly understood before moving ahead. Practice tests became a crucial part of his preparation—not just to measure performance, but also to analyse mistakes and improve accuracy.
He also made deliberate lifestyle choices to safeguard his focus. Social media distractions were set aside, platforms like YouTube were consciously disengaged from, and his study hours remained disciplined and non-negotiable.
“Consistency matters more than sudden bursts of hard work,” he reflected after the JEE Main Session 2 results.
The Philosophy Behind the Perfect Score
At the heart of Aditya’s JEE Main success lies a principle from the Bhagavad Gita that he deeply believes in: focus on your actions, not the results.
This philosophy kept him grounded during moments of self-doubt and mental fatigue—challenges that almost every JEE aspirant inevitably faces.
“There were definitely difficult phases,” Aditya admitted. “But staying focused on the process rather than becoming obsessed with the outcome made all the difference.”
Rather than being the primary objective, securing AIR 1 in JEE Main emerged as a natural outcome of Aditya’s rigorous preparation for JEE Advanced—reinforcing the idea that a process-driven approach often culminates in exceptional results.
The Support System: Teachers and Family
Behind every perfect JEE Main result lies a strong support system, and Aditya is quick to acknowledge his. At home, his parents and grandparents provided emotional support during phases of low motivation.
“They never pressured me about results; they only encouraged consistency,” he said.
At school, his teachers played a transformative role.
“Divya Ma’am, my Physics teacher, strengthened my confidence for the board exams through her structured practice sessions, while Komal Ma’am, my Chemistry teacher, made complex concepts easier to grasp with her interactive teaching methods,” he recalled.
He also credited the school principal, Dr. Richa Verma for guiding his parents on creating a distraction-free study routine at home. This combination of family support and academic mentorship created an ecosystem where excellence could thrive.
Key Takeaways for JEE Aspirants
For students preparing for JEE Main in the coming years, Aditya’s journey offers a clear roadmap: start early, build strong conceptual foundations, stay consistent, eliminate distractions, integrate school learning with competitive preparation, seek guidance when needed, and trust the process.
Looking Ahead

Gurugram(Haryana) [India], April 27: In a significant step towards strengthening leadership development and social responsibility, SGT University signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Navjyoti India Foundation and India Vision Foundation, founded by Dr. Kiran Bedi, and also marked the launch of the Kiran Bedi Leadership Learning (KBLL) Program. The collaboration aims to nurture ethical, purpose-driven leaders through experiential learning and real-world engagement.
The MoU establishes a long-term partnership focused on leadership training, community engagement, and value-based education, enabling students to gain hands-on exposure to societal challenges and develop impactful solutions.

The presence of Dr. Kiran Bedi made it a truly momentous occasion for the university community. As an enduring role model for students and professionals alike, her journey in public service served as a powerful source of inspiration.
Addressing the audience, she emphasized the essence of purposeful leadership, stating, “Leadership is about the choices you make. Even when choices are limited, you can always choose to add purpose to your work. Don’t wait for perfect conditions; start with what you have, step out of your comfort zone, and focus on creating solutions. That is how real change begins.”
Encouraging students to take initiative, she further added, “Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you; go where you can learn, improve, and create change. Real leaders don’t maintain the status quo; they transform it.”
Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Dr. Hemant Verma, Vice-Chancellor, SGT University, highlighted the importance of value-based leadership, stating, “Leadership is not defined by position but by action; it is about standing up for what is right, creating change rather than waiting for it, and serving with integrity, empathy, and purpose.”
The Kiran Bedi Leadership Learning Program, introduced under this collaboration, is a one-month experiential learning initiative designed to go beyond classroom learning. It focuses on ethical decision-making, problem-solving, and service-oriented leadership, providing students with mentorship, practical exposure, and opportunities to engage with real-world challenges.

New Delhi [India], April 22: Buying a preschool franchise can seem like a neat route into the education sector, but the decision deserves far more than a quick financial review. Before signing anything, buyers need to examine cost, curriculum, support, legal obligations, and daily control.
Anyone comparing thebest play school franchise in India should focus on the questions that reveal how the model works, not just how it is presented before money is committed or agreements are signed.
What is the Total Investment Required?
The total investment should be reviewed as a startup budget. It may include the franchise fee, property deposit, interiors, furniture, learning materials, staff salaries, registrations, technology, and launch marketing. Working capital for the early months should also be considered before any commitment is made.
What Does the Franchise Fee Include?
Buyers should understand whether it covers brand usage, curriculum access, teacher training, setup guidance, operating manuals, admission support, or launch assistance. A clear breakdown helps separate the joining fee from other costs that may appear later.
What is the Brand’s Market Reputation?
Market reputation should be assessed with care because it affects parents’ trust and local interest. The review should focus on consistency, communication quality, educational positioning, and how the franchise is perceived. A strong reputation on paper is not enough if daily standards appear unclear.
What Kind of Training and Support is Provided?
Training and support shape how smoothly the preschool starts and runs. Buyers should check whether support is offered before launch, during setup, and after operations begin. Staff training, academic guidance, administrative help, and problem-solving support should be explained clearly before agreement.
What is the Curriculum Structure?
The curriculum should be reviewed beyond broad claims. Buyers should understand how it supports age-appropriate learning, classroom routine, child development, play-based activities, and parent communication. It is important to see whether the academic plan feels balanced, clear, and manageable in daily preschool settings.
What Are the Space and Location Requirements?
Space and location requirements should be stated clearly from the beginning. Buyers need to know the expected size of the premises, layout needs, safety features, and whether the model suits the local residential area. A franchise may look attractive, but the property requirement must remain workable.
What Are the Expected Returns and ROI Timeline?
Questions around returns should be handled cautiously. Buyers should ask how the business model is structured, how admissions affect revenue, and what factors influence recovery of the initial investment. It is wiser to examine assumptions carefully than to rely on broad projections.
What Licensing and Legal Requirements Are Needed?
Legal requirements should be understood before setup begins. These may include business registration, lease papers, local permissions, tax-related formalities, contracts, and employee records. Since rules may vary by city, buyers should ask which documents they must arrange directly and which ones need franchise guidance.
What Marketing Support is Provided?
Marketing support should be reviewed carefully. Buyers should ask whether the franchise provides campaign material, launch planning, digital guidance, local branding support, or admission communication templates. Clear support in this area can help maintain consistency, especially during the first admission cycle.
What Are the Ongoing Fees or Royalties?
Buyers should ask whether royalties, renewal charges, technology fees, academic fees, or mandatory procurement costs apply after launch. Understanding recurring expenses is essential because long-term sustainability depends on more than the opening investment.
What Technology and Tools Are Provided?
Technology support can affect administration and parent communication. Buyers should check whether the franchise provides software for attendance, fee tracking, enquiries, reporting, classroom planning, or parent updates. It is also worth asking whether training and technical help are included with these tools.
How Much Operational Freedom Do You Have?
Operational freedom should be discussed clearly before signing the agreement. Buyers should know how much flexibility they have in staffing, pricing, local promotion, vendor choice, and day-to-day administration. This matters because some investors prefer structured control, while others need room for local decision-making.
Conclusion
A preschool franchise should be chosen only after asking the right questions, not just because it looks appealing at first. Investment, curriculum, legal responsibilities, support systems, technology, and operational freedom should all be reviewed before any decision is made. When these questions are asked early, buyers can understand the business more clearly. This makes the decision more balanced and better suited to long-term educational and business goals.
