Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try…
Back in 2000, two fresh IIT graduates, Pradeep Chopra and Kapil Nakra, made a decision to try and implant the seed of internet marketing in India. Little did they know, the digital movement they started will not only have an impact in India but across 30 countries as well.
The 7-year Journey of Digital Vidya
This Digital Marketing training institute has shown what piece de resistance is with its constant practice towards achieving notable results. Both Pradeep and Kapil have shown the way to their team for 7 years and are continuing to do so. (With even more enthusiasm)
The result of their hard work could be seen in the achievements made by Digital Vidya since 2009. More than 15,000 professionals (including CXOs) from over 7,000 brands such as Nokia, Google, eBay, Reliance, Star TV, Cisco, MakeMyTrip, Naukri, SAP, Citibank, Toyota, Intel, ITC, CNBC, Madison and CII have participated in more than 1000+ Digital Marketing trainings by Digital Vidya across 30+ countries.
#Throwback: Small Steps to Big Success
A throwback to how Digital Vidya was born!
When he Chose Startup over an American Job Offer
It was a conscious decision when Pradeep said a prompt yes to Kapil’s offer of joining him and start a company when no one was really aware of Digital Marketing. Amidst the pressure from family and financial instability, who knew dropping the job offer from an American company, both the college buddies would together see the hustling journey to success.
Soon after graduating from IIT Delhi in 1999, Pradeep and Kapil started Whizlabs Software, a leading company in Technology and Project Management Certification preparation industry. With the power of Digital Media, they sold Whizlabs first product in the US in January 2011.
The company won the ‘Most Innovative Indian IT Company’ award from NASSCOM in 2004.
Turning the right stones one after another, it was 28th November 2009 when Pradeep Chopra CEO, Digital Vidya, along with Kapil Nakra Co-founded Digital Vidya which is now a leading digital marketing learning platform.
And now it’s been more than 15 years of entrepreneurship and they are still evolving themselves in the digital marketing journey.
Here’s what the Parents of Digital Vidya have to say…
“Started out of passion, this 7-year journey has been very exciting for all of us. We feel proud when industry leaders say that ‘Digital Vidya is the backbone of digital marketing in the country’. Looking forward to expanding and accelerating our contribution in the years to come.” – Pradeep Chopra
Here’s What Mr. Kapil Nakra, Co-Founder, Digital Vidya says:
This year we will continue to stay focused on our participants’ professionals goals and launch more evolved techniques which will make it easier for our participants to fulfill their dreams.
He also added, “Last year has been great for us. Last year, we decided to stay focused on helping our participants fulfill their professional objectives, rather than just increasing the number of users doing a training program with Digital Vidya. 1000s of professional trusted us by registering in our training program. We added new assignments, new profile based training modules &deeper level of content for all core digital marketing aspects. As a result, our completion percentage & feedback have moved up significantly.”
A Kick-Start to Digital Vidya
Although it was October 2009 when the idea about Digital Vidya was actualized, but it was not until January 2010 that the first workshop on Social Media Marketing took place in Delhi.
How was it different from the mainstream?
In a conventional scenario, you would expect a workshop for students but not here as the foundation of Digital Vidya was unique. They wanted to come up with a pertinent platform where students and professionals from different domains can learn internet marketing.
Within few months, Digital Vidya successfully became the one-stop destination for Social Media Education in India where professionals from every sphere of life as well as students knocked Digital Vidya’s doors to seek assistance.
It wasn’t too late when Digital Vidya started with its in-house customized training programs for corporations. The first corporate training was conducted for Top Management at Intuit in Bangalore. They just wanted a direction and they got the right direction. Immediately after that, Digital Vidya became the prominent leader in the industry. Some of corporate workshops have taken place in Malaysia, UAE, Oman, and Singapore.
