Business Description:Advait's vision is to help realize the potentialities inherent in individuals- students and professionals - and partner them in having a fulfilling and rewarding personal and professional life. It works upon the principle of interconnectedness and oneness of all life and life-functions.

Advait has been active in conducting Management Development Programs (MDPs), Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) and Student Development Programs (SDPs). The clients include Business Houses to Academic Institutions. Currently the organisation is helping develop over 15,000 students, professionals and faculty members across North India.

The uniqueness of Advait's approach lies in its ability to recognise the gaps existing in mainstream education and training systems, and being able to plug them with inputs from literature (short stories, poems, awareness articles) and creative exercises.
