Globsyn
With the fast changing IT landscape Bikram Dasgupta foresaw the need for a business model built around the fundamental concepts of Infrastructure and Institution to service the knowledge economy and in 1995 conceptualized Globsyn as a group of companies, which embodied that vision. On the institution building front, it has been Mr. Dasgupta’s lifelong zeal to develop young minds to enable them to face the challenges of the modern workplace and be productive from day one. It is in this mission that he conceptualized and pioneered the Globsyn Knowledge Finishing School SystemTM which bridges the growing gap between academics and industry through industry relevant programs in a world class infrastructural setting. This, early innovator approach and concept, found expression through Globsyn Software Finishing School (GSFS) programs at TECHNOCAMPUS in 1997, the then IBM Center for Excellence.

Today, under Mr. Dasgupta’s mentorship and active guidance and after 10 years of dedicated research, diverse case studies and direct, on the ground experience, of handling over 25,000 graduates, from around 300 engineering colleges, Globsyn has been able to create a ‘Talent Transformation Engine (T2E)’, under the pioneering Finishing School System, based on real life researched data, and put together a framework of processes and methodologies that assists trainers in imparting training through a framework IP, thereby achieving healthy conversion factors, on both counts - ‘employability’ and ‘industry readiness’.
