B D Narayankar

Hero Mindmine Institute Ltd, India’s leading training and consulting organization, has started their state-of-the-art learning centre for imparting English training. The training will help aspirants become more competitive. With the launch of more centers in the city, the company has crossed a network of over 170 operational learning centres pan India.

Ashok George, Business Head, Hero Mindmine Institute Limited, said,” It is encouraging to have received an overwhelming response from our business partners as their centres are witnessing phenomenal number of candidates registering for English Training programs. Hero Mindmine, as an organisation, has grown exceptionally well in the last two years. Today, we have over 170 centers in India. In Karnataka alone, we have 10 centres and by year end, we will add another 20. We also are present overseas in China, Mauritius, Bangladesh, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Madagascar. We also plan to add another six cities around the world by year end."

Reiterating former President APJ Abdul Kalam’s statement, George said: "It is not unemployment which is a major problem, but unemployability. Immediate structural changes should be made in the education system to address the issue of skill deficit at a priority basis. Today over 90 per cent of the country’s college and school output do not have adequate practical knowledge for joining work. Repairing this skill deficit may need 6 to 8 per cent of the GDP over the next two years. Besides, the unemployed youth will be more vulnerable to anti-social tendencies. I believe institutes like Hero Mindmine will help create youth with world-class skills to make them competitive as per industry benchmarks and global standards.”

The institute to date has helped over 20 million people across 70 countries through this program in becoming more competitive and capable of facing a challenging global work environment. The organization consciously is looking at tying up with knowledge partners across the globe to able to provide world-class learning and training modules to candidates.

We are proud that Hero Mindmine is playing a vital role in producing global leaders and building a competent India."
