Press Quotes
 
Mr. Srivatsan, Managing Director, Vocational Academy

“Vocational Academy is more than just another educational institution. We are creating a movement to realize the dreams of the youth in rural and semi urban India. While the country makes great strides, it is imperative to engage our youth from across states, rural and districts in building Bharat Inc. These young Indians want to par`ticipate in the country’s success, and desire to have a rightful share of all the development. VOCAD is a platform for these youth to realize their potential and make an impact on our country’s burgeoning economy.”
 
Suresh Mutyala, CEO, STRiVE

“Trained manpower remains the single largest impediment for growth in the service sector and we wish to fulfil that need through Vocad. To that extent, Vocad remains our most important investment in achieving our objective of reaching out to a million households in five years”
 
Dr. Nachiket Mor, Chairman, IFMR Trust

"When we talk about prosperity and development, we are talking about human beings. And human beings can only advance when they possess skills – skills that are relevant to the emerging needs of a rapidly growing economy such as India. Initiatives such as Vocational Academy are focused on enhancing the employability of semi-urban / rural students who have finished formal education that did not give them the skills to get or keep a job."
 

Bindu Ananth, President, IFMR Trust

"VTNE is a venture that acts as a supply chain enabler in the 'first-time semi-urban / rural job seeker to the corporate' supply chain, investing in solutions that address the current gap in the demand and supply of trained manpower. Given this context, Vocational Academy is a very strategic investment for us."
 
Puneet Gupta, Managing Partner, NEF

"Given its non-cyclical nature, education is becoming a sought after investment for private equity investors. NEF, through VTNE, has in the past also made investment in a vocational education sourcing company, STRiVE, which provides assessment, counseling, apprenticeship, jobs, and certifications to rural / semi-urban students. We expect Vocational Academy to use the funds to grow market share by launching 50 centers by 2010, and having a presence in every district of the country by 2017"
