I started this to provide access to high quality engineering education to all corners of India at an affordable price. Started small in Nandyal, rural India and now we are a full fledged university. Today, many Tier I companies hire from our programs and Tier I universities in US/India work with us. The Digital Hybrid model of delivery and Adaptation of 2DBT for engineering education model are now reference models used by the IITs and the Indian Electronics and Semiconductor Association. This is one of the few successful digital hybrid degree granting models in the world. So far, it has been a great journey - we are the pioneers of engineering education reform in India. I have never been so through such tremendous highs and lows in my life. Seer Akademi is now expanding in the US as an independent University (Global University of Engineering). In short, we have proved that Washington Accord/Bloom's taxonomy works well in India, advanced engineering courses can be delivered in a hybrid online/local model and built India's most advanced VLSI design laboratory. The tremendous social outcomes are what keeps us going. On the other hand, the barriers we run into seem insurmountable and it takes a tremendous draw of energy everyday to keep our focus on the mission. We are also recording ~40 courses over the next couple of years for the IIT Madras/NPTEL project. These will be available to everyone online. I continue to develop and teach courses on Advanced Computer Architecture, IOT and Low Power Design and research the next frontier of low power design. Afforable, accessible health care is now a passion for me. I have finally found a direct use for my skills in low power design. We are currently incubating multiple ideas in the healthcare, analytics , socialization and education space. Last, but not least, this has been possible only due to the tremendous support and capabilities of my wife and our COO, Radhika Jadcherla
