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?
Our CEO, along with her husband, was eager to upskill in advanced technologies like Hadoop. However, they quickly discovered a major roadblock — there were hardly any reliable, high-quality training options available in India, especially in Tamil Nadu. The only options were expensive offshore programs costing over ₹1,50,000, or flying to countries like the US or Singapore — both impractical and costly.
They seized this untapped opportunity!
The CEO’s husband teamed up with a freelance trainer and sent a simple email to a handful of professionals on LinkedIn, announcing the launch of a specialized training program — one of the first of its kind in India. In just 48 hours, 10 people signed up!
That small beginning led to something big.
Within 3 months, a global telecom company, Ericsson, approached them with a request to train 200 of its employees.
That moment became the spark that transformed an idea into a mission.
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.
“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.”
“At Btree, we focus on what, why, who and how. With an excellent line of courses, a learner walks away with a smile and a deeper understanding of the concepts.”
