Affordable Computers for NGOs, Small Businesses, Students and Individuals

Dear Team Renew IT,

The Mission of our organization is to “Make Computers affordable to everyone”. We all know how the spread of mobile phones has vastly benefited all of us.

I would like to take this opportunity to provide a brief introduction – after completing my

B.E(Electronics) from REC (now NIT) Surat and Post graduation from IIM Calcutta, I founded this company in 2009. The primary goal of our organization is to increase the number of high-quality (we are an ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified organization), low-cost PCs and related parts and accessories available to NGOs, Schools, Students and other users. We mainly source computers from large MNCs – refurbish and remarket them. This helps bridge the large digital divide that exists in a country of over a billion people.

We were recently featured on a show called “India Ahead”. Please watch the video - http://ow.ly/sKCpk

I have had the fortune of having a good education and contributing to making quality education available to everyone is something close to my heart. As per Census 2011, less than 1 in 10 households have access to computers. With just a 9.5% IT penetration India is already known worldwide as a IT nation. If more Indians have access to computers, more jobs will be created and more Indians can have better lives.

We supply refurbished computers to NGOs or schools at prices starting as low as Rs. 4,500/- for a full system. MostNGOs or schools really do not need expensive new computers for training the kids and can provide more computers to their students utilizing the same budget. As a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, we provide original Microsoft Windows 7 licenses at roughly 1/10th the cost available in the market along with our hardware.

We are very proud to support NGOs who work tirelessly towards making India a better place. Some of the esteemed NGOs we have served are
1. AMBA CEEIC – An NGO which trains the intellectually challenged to data entry . This helps them earn a livelihood of dignity
2. ACT – An NGO which educates and empowers underprivileged children from urban slums in Bangalore
3. OSCAR Foundation - An NGO that teaches football to underprivileged children. Through football they teach young players the importance of education, help them complete their education, teach them life skills, etc.
4. Prajayatna – An NGO which set up training centres for teachers in Rural Karnataka
5. Rotary Whitefield – We helped them set up computer labs in 5 government schools they have adopted
6. Swades foundation – An NGO which is working towards transformation in Rural India

We would be really privileged to assist you in your noble endeavours in transforming India.
