Purple Quarter with team Navneet devised a custom search strategy to find the most suitable tech leader. Founded in 2010, NAVNEET TOPTECH envisions “To provide the highest quality of educational products and services in the language/medium of their choice”.

To further enhance the platform’s tech capabilities, NAVNEET TOPTECH sought an experienced C-Suite leadership and partnered with Purple Quarter in the process.
The mandate demanded a well-versed techie who would have grounds up tech experience along with good analytical & product development skills. Shamik Bhattacharya undoubtedly is the best addition to NAVNEET TOPTECH’s tech team. As the Chief Technology Officer, Shamik will lead in developing, introducing and implementing new technologies alongside mapping the Edtech platform’s tech functionality.
