The Proust Questionnaire is a questionnaire about one's personality. It has its origins in a parlour game popularised by Marcel Proust, the French essayist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature
Sridhar G ('89), founder of Deeksha, graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 1989 with a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering. He went on to complete his Ph.D. in Fluid Mechanics from the Johns Hopkins University, USA.
He returned to India in 1998 after a 3-year stint as a Research Scientist at American Standard. That year also marked the launch of the Academic Centre for Excellence (ACE), jointly founded by Sridhar and his wife with a vision to provide an effective and caring academic environment. Together, they pioneered board and competitive teaching in Karnataka through their education initiative, Deeksha. Subsequently, in 2008, Ace Creative Learning Pvt. Ltd. was formed to take Deeksha to several more campuses across India. Ace Creative Learning Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated to bring about a systemic change in education. With pedigree investors joining hands early on, this mission gathered momentum and in its 22 years journey, over 56,000 success stories have been created. (Read More)
