FOUNDER’S MESSAGE: WHY I’M BUILDING NUJAM?

After ~15 yrs of leading businesses, building tech startups; I’m aware how hard it’s to recruit & retain tech talent. In early 2016, I’d to step down from Snapdeal when my division was closed down. I was disappointed. While exploring what to do next, I tried to learn new tech languages & tools from online sources – alone, and I found it very hard! Having experienced these, I decided to solve the problem of learning tech & talent supply gap, by building Nujam. I want Nujam to make learning in-demand tech tools, languages super simple so that people’s livelihoods & earning potential can improve.
