“Education that is widely available to all, that helps all of us reach our full potential regardless of socioeconomic status, is the foundation for improving the human condition, and amplifying our humanity. Computer Science education is a key part of this, and it is imperative that we bring the best and brightest to building next-generation technologies,” said Dr. Vishal Sikka, Founder & CEO of Vianai Systems. “I am very pleased that Amit and the Sitare University team are starting this ground-breaking institution and look forward to advising them on this wonderful journey.”
