Our Founder Story

From one classroom in Jalandhar to a network across Punjab

techcadd began with a single observation that has not changed since: students were finishing technical degrees without ever having built anything someone would pay for.

Before 2016
The gap he kept seeing
Working alongside technical graduates, one pattern repeated: strong marks, complete syllabi, and no evidence. Students could describe a technology without ever having shipped anything with it, and interviewers in Jalandhar had learned to stop asking about coursework.
2016
techcadd opens in Jalandhar
The institute started with a single principle carried over from that observation: a student should leave with work an employer can open and inspect. Live client briefs went into the syllabus from the beginning rather than being added as a capstone at the end.
The model
Practitioners in the classroom
Trainers stayed on live delivery work instead of moving into full-time teaching, so the examples in class came from the current quarter. Small batches kept it possible for a trainer to look at every student's screen, which is what makes correction daily rather than occasional.
Today
A network across Punjab
techcadd now runs across Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur, Phagwara, Amritsar, Patiala, Bathinda and Mukerian, works with universities on industrial training and placement drives, and continues under Mr. Gourav Gupta as Founder and CEO.

“A certificate says you attended. A project someone can open says you can do the work. We built techcadd around the second.”
