All About NIIT

More than 30 nations have seen NIIT's flag fly, thanks to Vijay's leadership and collaboration with other industry organizations over the previous two decades.

In 1981, Rajendra S. Pawar and Vijay K. Thadani, both IIT-Delhi alumni, invested one million rupees to start the National Institute of Information Technology - NIIT. When NIIT opened its first nine facilities in 1987, it pioneered the franchising strategy for IT education.

It is never easy to take on tough challenges and, in the process, open up an unlimited number of options. It requires talent, dedication, long-term customer connections, and a lot of patience.

It all started back in 1986 when NIIT began selling software under its Insoft brand and expanding into software development. In addition, the firm started providing huge organizations with advice and consulting on how to maximize their IT expenditures and use technology.

The NIIT stock started trading on Indian stock markets in 1993. When NIIT opened an education facility in Hong Kong in 1996, the company started its international adventure. In the software industry, NIIT was known as the "McDonald's of the software business".

Viswanathan Anand, a five-time World Chess Champion and NIIT Brand Ambassador helped develop NIIT's MindChampions Academy (MCA) in 2003. NIIT Technologies Ltd. was formed in 2004 as a separate entity from NIIT's software division.

This worldwide leader in IT solutions and services announced that it has rebranded as Coforge Limited and unveiled a brand-new logo as part of the recent transition.
