THE TESTAMENT – TO INNOVATIVE THINKING

THE TESTAMENT

According to our mythologies, Arjuna was the greatest of all archers. He never missed a target and more importantly, he was a student of the great warrior Dronacharya. This last thing brands him as the best. Somewhere in the middle of all these chapters of Mahabharatha, lies the story of Ekalavya. He never missed a target either. He was self-made and talented. But he was not a student of some great guru. Nobody noticed him and he got lost in the crowd. This story reflects the present society too. Students of big and deemed universities get a preferential treatment from the society. But a talented student who is self-made is not much cared for. In a world where competence, ability and talent are supposed to be the qualities to be admired and encouraged, brand value of an institution is taking the limelight. To help people get rid of this notion, a group of budding engineers started The Testament.

THE MINDS BEHIND THE TESTAMENT

The Testament was founded in 2012 by three students Nishanth Mittal (Business Development Manager), Avneesh Khanna (Technology Development Manager) and Kumar Sambhav (Operations Manager) who were joined by their juniors in college- Prakhar Chandna (Technology Development Executive) and Ankit Jindal (Marketing Manager).
