2016: One classroom in Hoshiarpur
techcadd opens with a single lab, a handful of machines, and one conviction: judge a training institute by the careers it starts.

We never wanted to be the biggest institute in Punjab. We wanted to be the one where a student's first job is better than the one they imagined when they walked in.

About the founder
The Person Behind techcadd
techcadd began as a single classroom in Hoshiarpur with one conviction: that a training institute should be judged by the careers it starts, not the certificates it prints.
A decade on, that principle still runs the place. Our trainers have done the work they teach. Our labs run the CAD, design and accounting software employers actually use. Every programme ends where it should — with a student in a job they were genuinely prepared for.
Around a third of every batch arrives from a non-technical degree. The foundation modules assume nothing, counselling happens before payment, and a student who lands in the wrong track is moved rather than left to struggle through it.
Practitioner-led
Every trainer has done the job they teach.
Industry-aligned
Curriculum built backwards from live job descriptions, and revised every year.
Career-integrated
Placement support is part of the course, not an add-on.
Under his leadership
Five things that widened
What started as one classroom grew along five lines. None of them changed the method.
- 01
The catalogue
From a single lab to four course families: CAD and design, basic computer, web, graphics and marketing, and Tally and accounting.
- 02
Practical training
Projects and hands-on lab hours rather than theory alone. Students leave with finished drawings, designs and books of accounts.
- 03
Industry engagement
Local firms and businesses send live briefs, so the work students practise on is the work employers need done.
- 04
Career development
Counselling before payment, then resume reviews, mock rounds and placement drives as part of the programme.
- 05
Keeping current
New workstations and licensed software arrive as local hiring shifts, and every course is revised each year.
The record
Ten years, one method
2018: First industry partnerships
Local firms and businesses begin sending live briefs to our students — the beginning of the live project floor.
2020: Internship programme formalised
Six-month placements inside working offices and studios become part of the core tracks rather than an optional extra.
2023: CAD and design labs expand
New workstations with licensed CAD, design and accounting software arrive as local hiring shifts toward draughting, design and accounts roles.
2026: 25,000 students later
Alumni working across Bengaluru, Mohali, Gurugram, Pune, Hyderabad and beyond — and the same conviction.

We never wanted to be the biggest institute in Punjab. We wanted to be the one where a student's first job is better than the one they imagined when they walked in. Everything else — the labs, the projects, the mentor hours — exists to serve that single outcome.
