Description
We are the pioneers.
Before there was a scribd or Docstoc.. before there were forums or even social networks, we’ve been there. We’ve really been there. Since 2004, we’ve been striving to add value to the management education sector in India. We started off with a simple HTML page and a dial-up connection that would run into Rs 30,000 per month telephone bills.
We’ve struggled. We’ve really struggled. Fighting our parents and reasoning with the professors we have strived to revolutionize management education in India.
All this for what, they asked?
All this for THIS, we say. All this for creating an unshakeable base that would bare the thrills of any Godzilla roaring at us.
So here we are presenting a deck on ManagementParadise.com. A couple of mails exchanged with Alok who suggested the possibility of Management Paradise being easily crowd-funded.
We would really appreciate Angel and VCs to connect with us realize (LIVE) our dream.
