A visionary person who has futuristic sight and always tries to do something revolutionary, Mr. Mehroof has motivated many people through his entrepreneurial journey. He states, “The opportunities in education today are tremendous. And more importantly, the opportunities for the people joining forces with us have never been better & more exciting.”
With key values such as persistence, risk-taking attitude, jovial, interpersonal relationship, networking, cool and calm mindset, and marketing, Mr. Mehroof is consistent with his top performance in the industry.

The Journey of a Visionary
Mr. Mehroof did his schooling from a Govt. school and then to Farook College for Under graduation. Then he graduated in Economics from New College, Chennai – University of Madras and did a Diploma in IT at Chennai itself. His interest in outdoor games especially football and badminton endured during his time in college. He also led his football team while pursuing his graduation. He retains resident visa in Dubai and corporate office is in Singapore but he prefers his hometown along with his family whenever it is possible.
Taking a less-traveled path by IT training when it is classified and restricted to the elites, Mr. Mehroof has set an example in the industry. “I had to create a path. At that time, IT was a premium piece and IT Training an elite’s choice. It was tough to break the mindset but we did it with the right heart set and a cool team with me since then. The biggest task was to convince that the ‘BEST is not always costly’,” he asserts.
As he moved along his path, more challenges presented themselves. “First struggle was to take IT to common people. People were reluctantly seeing IT as a far destination. Second was finding qualified trainers, which pushed me to go with International certifications so that we are sure that our trainers are fit to deliver it. Right now, all 4000+ trainers in our network are GCT (G-TEC Certified Trainers). Third was keeping ourselves connected to technology and trends and getting this updated with our network,” states Mr. Mehroof.
Raising Benchmark
By opening a corporate office in Singapore and getting through quality constraints helped G-TEC to sharpen themselves as the company had overcome the biggest challenge. Offering programs at unbelievable and most affordable costs, Mr. Mehroof has raised the benchmark in the education domain.
He has employed a Blue Ocean strategy to stay ahead in the competition all the while setting an example in the sphere. “The business world is for thinkers and since we are into education, there is so much space for people with right heart set. We’ve kept our students/learners first and kept moving towards talent needs time-to-time. Variety, Quality, and Price is the secret of any Business’s success. We brought this into education,” claims Mr. Mehroof.
With an environment of compassion, Mr. Mehroof has formed a family within his company as he values humanity above any rule. He recognizes each center director by their name including the youngest director in his family.
