Why did you choose West Bengal to start your educational enterprise, even though you are from the north?

West Bengal has a rich heritage of quality excellence in the realm of education and knowledge. The students of West Bengal have always been torch bearers to this proud tradition. Though there was immense talent in the state, the ratio of institutions to potential students was extremely less and students to venture out of the state to study. It was then that the Government thought of initiating the Private-Public Partnership model, and JIS understanding the need to decide on the right talent, mould it into professionals and deliver it to the states across the country decided to invest in West Bengal.
