jnaapti is a thought-leader in helping people learn. Our mission is to help people learn anything starting from anywhere in the shortest time possible. I founded jnaapti in 2011 with the intention of delivering quality education to the masses. Jnaapti helps you learn anything starting from anywhere. It has an activity based model of coaching that is delivered via a platform that we have built from the ground up called the Virtual Coach. The course is completely customizable according to the skill level of the learners and the skills the organization wants them to acquire. Each learner can take on a distinctive learning path during the program. The whole philosophy behind the Jnaapti approach is that people should be self-reliant when it comes to learning and the Jnaapti Virtual Coach helps learners build this into their genes. Learners are taught "how to learn" keeping in mind the fact that, in this world where technologies change rapidly, change is the only constant and what is relevant now may not exist soon and re-training is expensive. I love technology and love to teach what I know! I am an engineer by heart and love building products. I have worked in organizations large and small. I have played major roles in end to end product development – right from requirements gathering, conceptualization, architecting, development, testing, deployment, analytics and back.
