"In accordance with our growth plans in India, we have already invested a sum of over S$ 5 million and are looking at investing another S$ 6 million to augment our increased presence in the Indian IT education and training industry. We want to be known as a specialized education-focused company, offering not just IT training but also a whole gamut of skill-based learning," continued
