Market Research shows that Mobile application learning has become part of mainstream education, driven by consumer demand, new technologies and services. Enterprises will significantly increase their investments in mobile applications during 2010 to 2015.

 It gives out a huge opportunity for all code lovers, but many are not skilled enough to grab the demand.  Hence, going by the words of Edmund Hillary, who once said, “It’s not mountains we conquer but ourselves”, Barani Kumar S kick-started Mobiwhiz to train and give the industry those mobile app whiz kids. ITPV caught up with Barani to understand Mobiwhiz’s focus and its IT plans.
