Our Vision: Democratization of the Education Sector
‘We believe that everyone has the right to quality education, so we strive to provide quality training at the lowest cost.’
The democratization of the education sector is closely related to four important pillars that include:
- High-quality Content
- Training Pedagogy
- 24/7 Support
- Job Assistance
Btree combines a unique approach to the ideation and creation of the course content. It then collaborates with SMEs for training. Further, it offers its learners lifelong support and lifetime access to the course materials.
It also provides professional help to ensure learners find lucrative jobs by conducting mock interview sessions and helping each candidate create a high-quality resume.
“Btree started from a passion we felt to give something back to society. We focus on value, not volume, so with us, you will get farther than talent.”
How it all started?
Diwakar, along with his life companion Shilpi Jain, was looking forward to learning Hadoop. Surprisingly, no one in the country provided Hadoop training. Their only option was to register for offshore training, which was in the United States, starting at ₹150,000! Or else, fly to the US or Singapore and sign up for a much more expensive Hadoop course, which was not only impractical but also time-consuming. This is not it, the couple realized that the training sessions were pretty ordinary with no support.
They seized this untapped opportunity!
First, Diwakar collaborated with a freelance Hadoop trainer. He then emailed his LinkedIn contacts pointing out the commencement of Hadoop training. It was one of its kind in India. Much to his surprise, 10 contacts responded with their affirmation within 48 hours!
Within 3 months of launching their first course, Ericsson, a leading network and telecommunications company, expressed the willingness to train its employees on Hadoop. It asked for 200 employees to be trained immediately!
This was an important milestone that prompted the couple to revolutionize the field of e-learning.
Since then, Btree as a company has become a pioneer in developing courses in collaboration with IT moguls such as IBM, Microsoft, etc. and rendering 150+ technical training courses, including Hadoop, Big Data, Data Science, Cloud Computing, Salesforce, and more! To date, Btree has trained more than 600,000 happy learners. It has established itself in the highly competitive field of e-learning.
These training courses not only provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the latest technologies but also effectively fill the gaps in today’s technological capabilities.
