Education is a cornerstone for progress, and Maaydesh Foundation is committed to fostering opportunities that combine skill, innovation, and empowerment. In 2003, the Foundation established the K. B. Joshi Institute of Information Technology at Maharshi Karve Stree Shikshan Samstha, honoring Shri K. B. Joshi, the grandfather of Arun Joshi and a pioneering industrialist of his time. The institute’s creation was made possible through a generous donation from the Joshi Foundation, celebrating Shri Joshi’s legacy as a founding member of several trade groups, including the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce.
The Institute is dedicated to providing students with state-of-the-art infrastructure, meticulously designed curricula, and interactive exposure to the latest developments in the IT sector. Its approach ensures graduates are fully equipped to meet the evolving demands of the industry.
With a special focus on women in IT, the K. B. Joshi Institute aims to empower young women to take advantage of the tremendous growth of the IT sector across business and daily life. By nurturing talent, fostering innovation, and providing practical learning experiences, the Institute is shaping the next generation of IT professionals who are ready to make a meaningful impact.
The K. B. Joshi Institute of Information Technology stands as a testament to the vision of Maaydesh Foundation — blending education, empowerment, and opportunity to build a brighter future for women in technology.
