“Our goal is to expose youth to entrepreneurship. It is the best way to create jobs and employment in the region.”
Our CEO Mr. Manipal Dhariwal, is a first-generation global serial entrepreneur with 20+ years of professional experience. One brainchild of our CEO was to create the Sebiz Finishing School (SFS). Through SFS programs, young IT graduates are trained on the latest technologies, business etiquette and soft skills by using real world examples and projects. When completed, these individuals are better prepared for today’s business world, which increases their chances of finding positions within top, well-known IT companies.
