Dubai firm to set up IT finishing school in Kochi

Mind Parlour LLC, a Dubai-based player in HR development and training services, is set to launch its first IT finishing School at Kochi.

This would market the company's foray into the Indian market. Disclosing this here at a press conference on Tuesday, C K Sharma, chief resource officer of Mind Parlour, said the company entered India with an ambitious plan of setting up a chain of finishing schools which the country requires.

"We are looking at setting up IT finishing schools in all the Indian metros and tier"�2 cities," he said.

The school at Kochi is scheduled to commence operations by January 2008 with a batch of 300 students. The company aims to impart training to 1,000 students through a four-month full-time course during its first year of operations in Kerala.
