IIT M incubated startup goes online with its great course
IIT M incubated startup GUVI has taken its full stack coding development course ‘Zen class’ completely online.
The course by IIT M incubated startup aims to upskill students and graduates looking for a career in product-based companies.
A ‘full-stack’ web developer is trained to develop both client and server software.
In addition to proficiency in HTML and CSS, the developer should also be proficient in programming browsers (using JavaScript and related tools), servers (using Python and related tools) and databases (SQL and related tools).
The Zen Class by IIT M incubated startup focuses on on skill economy by making aspiring and current full-stack developers job-ready and future-proof by training them with cutting-edge technologies and converting a regular resume into a skill-based portfolio.
This will help bridge the talent paucity faced by Indian software industry in the critical areas of full-stack development, front-end, back-end, system design and data structures-algorithms.
Speaking about this initiative by IIT M incubated startup, Mr. S.P. Balamurugan, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, GUVI, said tough times needs smart skilling path and we help the learners to do that from home and get the job from home.
IIT M incubated startup GUVI is an integrated ed-tech platform in vernacular language, which has a deep penetration in India with a presence in over 1,000 engineering colleges.
It has already upskilled more than 4.7 lakh engineers in latest technology skills such as Python, Java and Machine Learning, among others and help them gain placement in IT firms.
The Zen Class by IIT M incubated startup GUVI are conducted conducted physically at the IIT Madras Research Park were successful in training and getting placement for nearly 1,000 students in over 200 product-based companies and startups in the last several months.

Arun Prakash speaking more about the course offered by GUVI which is IIT M incubated startup said GUVI’s industry-specific boot camp of Zen class helps demonstrate the skill ability of an individual to learn new and in-demand technologies quickly, which will turn into a major plus to both the learners as well as employers.
He further said a prior screening is done among the interested trainees called the pre-boot camp session to assess the candidates.
This format gives students a better analysis of their current level of learning, which could be further regulated by 1:1 doubt-clarification with mentoring, recorded video sessions and personalized training, he said.
The course by IIT M incubated startup GUVI is open to freshers interested in learning to code, working professionals looking to switch careers from service-based companies to product companies or manual testing or technical support as well as those from a non-coding background or data-science wanting to add value to their profile.
The recruitment team of GUVI, the IIT Madras incubated startup works to arrange, prepare and deliver interview opportunities for the students with product companies that align with their career goals.
They work to attract experienced professionals from other domains such as business (sales and marketing), arts, teaching and lecturers to becoming Full Stack developers.
Freshers from non-engineering degrees can make the most of Zen Class, a course offered by IIT Madras incubated startup GUVI through its personalized mentoring and online courses with peer discussion to keep up with the pace.
The three-month weekday and 6-month weekend online programs of Zen class provide a robust blend of technological skills by industrial experts with a technical background from PayPal, Google, Symantec and Honeywell, among others.
The learners of the Zen class are introduced to an online boot camp style of learning with concept-oriented hands-on projects on a daily basis, bi-weekly hackathons, technical mentorship and periodic developer meetups including developers from companies like Google, LinkedIn and Facebook, which contribute to the Zen class advantages.
A boot camp lays a better foundation in covering the theory of a programming language in a structured manner and the practice sessions of the developer boot camp with daily projects convert into real-time project applications.
Alongside, an extensive coding practise platform – CodeKata with a more than 1000 question library, specifically designed with all the key programming concepts to hone the coding skills of the learners.
Interested candidates can enrol in this full-stack developer course through the official site of IIT Madras incubated startup GUVI ‘https://www.guvi.in/zen’
