Career
Launcher has its headquarter
in Delhi. The idea of Career Launcher
was that of Mr.
R. Satyanarayanan, an IIM graduate
from Bangalore who quit his plush job
in Ranbaxy. He was joined by his batchmate
Mr. Gautam Puri,
who was with Britannia. This happened
in 1995.
Career Launcher acquired KITS,
in November 2000 and commenced its operations
in Mumbai. KITS was hugely popular and
market leaders in preparation for CET
in Mumbai, having 6 centers across Mumbai.
KITS was in the competitive exam preparation
for 5 years and was also the first one
to start BMS entrance exam preparation
in Mumbai. Thus while Career Launcher
came to Mumbai only in Nov. 2000.
Mr. Suhas Bedekar
and Mr. Chandra
are the one who are in charge of Career
Launcher in Mumbai. Mr. Suhas Bedekar
was with KITS from 1997 and has continued
in Career Launcher after November 2000
and Mr. Chandra joined Career Launcher
in October 1999 at Delhi and come over
to look at Mumbai in December 2000. Mr.
Chandra is a MBA from IIM Lucknow and
before career launcher was working as
an equity research analyst.
Career
Launcher started with a Personality
development program solely catering towards
preparing students who had got Group Discussion
and Personal Interview calls from the
top B Schools, primarily IIMs. In a short
span of six years it had enhanced its
product offering and now is preparing
students for the following courses:
* CAT the product brand name being Pegasus(for
IIMS and other top B Schools in India)
*CET the product brand name being KITS
(for MBA schools of Maharashtra)
* Magic Lamp Various careers after XII
th like Management (BMS, BBA, BBS), Hotel
management, Fashion designing, Law
* IIT JEE the product brand name being
Paragon
Career Launcher
strategically acquired another company
called compassbox.com which is coaching
for IX, X, XI & XII over the net.
A large client base of compassbox.com
is in the gulf and consequently Career
Launcher set up its first overseas office
in Dubai in 2001.
There are also other product offered by
Career Launcher like Future Map, which
is a career-counselling program, but unluckily
it is not available for the Mumbaites.
They are also in training for top corporate
people typically the presidents, CEOs
and VPs. This is done through under the
brand name Crestcom.
A
typical batch at Career
Launcher consists of only 30
students. Batches for CAT starts from
November of the previous year that has
its exams in the month of December. Batches
keep starting every month till August
for CET that has its exams in the month
of February.
The earliest batch starts in the month
of April and last batch in the month of
November(crash course). For BMS earliest
batch starts in the month of April and
last batch starts in the month of February
(crash course), this has its exam in the
month of April.
Classes
are held at Thane, Dadar, CST, Vile Parle,
Santacruz and Borivali. They have centers
at all these places. In addition there
in a only enrollment center at Tardeo
but
no classes are held there.
They
have helped more than 20,000 students
prepare for top B- Schools. More than
2500 have got admission to top 10 B-Schools
of India. Typically 4 out of 5 IIM entrants
from North India are Career
Launcher students.
In Maharashtra, 3 out of every 4 students
succeeding in CET are KITS students. We
hold the distinction of producing BMS
topper in Mumbai year after year.
Something
that sets us apart is the personal attention
each student gets and the overall aspect
of personality development and not only
of coachng. They have their own training
school called Inner
Circle, where each and every
faculty has to go through a rigorous training
program and get their certificate and
only then can enter the class to teach.
For each student they have an Individual
master file where they can record his
preparation and pay personal attention.
All faculties are full time and are thus
approachable and available for unlimited
hours. Student interaction is thus not
limited to only class room sessions. The
personality development program is designed
by a leading behavioural scientist and
a IIM Ahemedabad professor. They have
excellent infrastructure facilities like
reading room, video library of all sessions
of all topics. Over an above the faculties
that they have are in for sake of teaching
and thus spend unlimited time and cater
to all whims and fancies of students often
spending the entire days huddled up with
students.
Career
Launcher has only one motto
and that is to make people realise their
potential and achieve their dreams.
Thus
what started with a meager amount of Rs.17,
000/- six years back is today present
in more than 22 cities in India and also
one center in Dubai.
