Running a training academy that trains people to speak English is a challenging task and making it into a large business enterprise, even more so. Some of the finest skills in organization and management are called for.

It is needless to say that English has become the lingua franca of today’s business, science, technology, medicine and e-communication. In countries like India and China which are becoming business destination for the BPO industries, teaching English is a multi-crore business.

While business is no doubt the heart of the organization, it is service that is at the delivery end. Yes, this business gives you the happiness and satisfaction of having done something to the good of the society.

The value of empowering someone speak English is something that cannot be measured in terms of money. For many learners who enter the portals of Veta, speaking fluent English has changed their very lives. Good job, acceptance in high society, window to greater knowledge and above all, an overwhelming confidence in themselves—this has what Veta stood for them.

I am proud that Veta has made over 2.2 million people speak English and I am happy that more than 2.2 million lives have changed for the better.

I am also proud that people who have become partners in business by taking up franchise have found a new meaning to their lives.

Twenty seven years since a modest beginning with just four students, Veta today is an organization with a mission—taking India truly into the twenty-first century world of high-tech commerce, science and technology by empowering a nation to speak English.
