The journey of this man, and the empire he has built, has been an incredible one – it is a story of passion, hard work and determination. Back in the early 1980s, a dearth of private engineering colleges in West Bengal compelled meritorious students to relocate to other states for higher studies. This caused a massive brain drain of the state, and Bengal was totally oblivious to computer literacy at that time. Mr. Roychowdhury alongwith his elder brother, realised the immense potential of computer education, as they could foresee that the professional life of the new generation would substantially be dependent on the application of computer in day-to-day life. They felt the strong urge to save the state from losing its academic cream. After crossing several hurdles, in 1984, they opened the first computer training centre in their hometown in Chinsurah, Hooghly. That was the birth of the Institute of Computer Engineers, India – the bedrock of Techno India.
