Our Mission
To convey the joy of deep study, the satisfaction of solving problems, the challenges of designing for the real-world, and the thrill of innovation. To spread the word that engineering excellence is the key for societal transformation in the 21st century. To create a network of Jed-i exponents and Masters who share a passion for engineering, design and innovation in India.
About Us
We are India's first academics-turned entrepreneurs, recipients of the First Dewang Mehta Award for Innovation in IT, founders of PicoPeta Simputers, Strand LifeSciences, and most recently, LimberLink Technologies.

Our Approach
We conduct short-term and long term workshops to ignite the spark of engineering exuberance among both youngsters and experienced individuals. We use a refreshing methodology of active learning, without the pressures of grading and certification, to enable participants to discover the joy of engineering.

Jed-i Apprentice Program
Designed to reach out to engineering students early in their studies. Empowering them with tools for learning. Offered in partnership with colleges as well as in general venues bringing together students from many colleges. See Jed-i Apprentice.
Jed-i Weekends Program
Designed to bring back the creative juices of seasoned industry veterans who might have been jaded by years of challenging but routine work.
Conducted in a cozy environment in central locations in the city so that they can take a break on a Saturday to rediscover their passion for engineering. See Jed-i Weekends.

Jed-i is the creation of
LimberLink Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

What?
The jed-i Apprentice program will introduce to bright youngsters, the key elements that define an engineer: the ability to design, build, fix, modify, extend. And to do all of these under real world constraints. By providing the tools to learn to be an engineer. By encouraging them to ask bold questions and to answer them by working with enthusiastic peers.
Why?
We are at a new threshold. We require skills that are vastly different from the skill sets that powered the Indian IT services industry. The next level of innovation and entrepreneurship is going to be driven by people who have mastered the core principles that define the field. By those who can see the big picture and tackle the minute details at the same time. By those who have a sense of wonder at the creativity that has gone in to make engineering the driver of the 21st century.
How?
The Apprentice program will be offered in two modes. First, in association with the college, each module spread over a semester. Second, in general venues with selected students from many colleges.

Dr. Swami Manohar and Dr. V Vinay were formerly professors of Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Science. A decade back they embarked on the ambitious Simputer project, started multiple companies, and have enjoyed the rough and tumble of entrepreneurship.
The Jed-i Apprentice program is their way of sharing the Joy of engineering, design and innovation with young engineers who they hope will go on to build the next generation of global companies out of India.

Currently, Jed-i apprentice program is offered in partnership with the college. If you want to host this program at your college, please send mail to master@jed-i.in.

When was the last time you sat down and solved a problem? A technical problem. Purely for the JOY of the challenge. Or wrote a piece of killer code that you were really PROUD of? Yes, you have a team to manage. Deliveries to make. Deadlines to meet. No time to pause and ponder? or to study and wonder?
What you really need is intellectual stimulation; some steaming hot COFFEE for your brain.
Which is what you will get. Lots of questions. Lots of interaction. And when you leave, you will leave with a sense of AHA! Your intellectual coffee fix.
If you are curious, yearn for challenges, want to have some fun, come over. Just BRING your brain along.

The vast world of Indian IT has harboured talented people from all walks of life. Imagine the heights it can read with a little more appreciation of the great ideas and grand structures of Computer Science and Engineering!
