Jetking to open 50 more branches

Jetking Infotrain Limited, a Mumbai-based computer hardware and networking institute, plans to open 50 more training centres across the country through the franchisee route this financial year, said Guruprasad Shenai, head (technology and curriculum) of Jetking.

At present, Jetking has 100 centres in the country. Announcing the incorporation of Windows Vista and Windows 2008 server in its course curriculum in Andhra Pradesh on Monday, he said each of the new centre will have a student intake of about 400 per year.

With companies realising the importance of data storage, disaster recovery, among others, he said the institute was planning to introduce a course on infrastructure management services.

“The duration and fee structure for the course are being worked out and the programme will be launched in the next six months,” Shenai said.

Jetking registered revenues of Rs 134 crore last year and expects to close the current fiscal with Rs 180 crore on the back of increased business partners and alliances with other institutions.
