We want to draw your attention to the IIT Madras (NPTEL) online course
entitled "Introduction to Modern Application Development" (IMAD).

For details, visit http://www.imad.tech/ and for a short video about
the course, see the IMAD video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC__12iAJGc.

The course instructors are Gaurav Raina (Faculty IITM) and Tanmai
Gopal (IITM Alumnus, CSE, 2012).

Registration for the course is free and all the course videos will be
available online (NPTEL/YouTube). Upon completion of the course, one

The students completing this course will have the tangible benefit of
having a shot at getting internships/jobs at some of the top tech
startups/companies in India. Companies such as

ChargeBee <https://www.chargebee.com/> ,

have tied up with us to provide interview opportunities to these
students after the course. We are adding more companies to this list
as we speak. This is a testament to the usefulness of the skills that
the course will be teaching.

This course can be useful for a very wide audience, ranging from
schools, universities, technical institutes, to people working  in
industry. One of the objectives is to get people excited about
technology, and to that end it would be great if you could pass on
information about the course to a wide audience through the various
contacts of the office of international and alumni affairs.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Dr. Gaurav Raina
