Praveen of Vasavi Computer Academy, Vellore. Now VAIT is 35 members strong and is being headed by Mr. C. Arumugam - Intech Computers, Vellore in the Capacity of a president.

Many a time, the IT consumers of this region have felt that technology and competitive pricing were not available to them at their doorstep.
