Faced harsh financial struggles, sold two companies..., now the CEO of one of India's leading companies, he is..., his business is... Deepak Sahni, a self-made entrepreneur from Delhi, is the founder of Healthians, one of India's leading health check-up companies. His path to success was full of challenges. There was a time when financial problems forced him to leave college and take up a job. But Deepak didn't let tough times break his spirit. He kept going, completed his education, and followed his dream of doing something meaningful in the healthcare space. In 2015, he started Healthians, with the aim of making health check-ups simple and accessible for everyone. Today, the company is doing business worth crores and operates across more than 100 cities in India. Healthians has a strong team of over 3,200 people, including doctors and health advisors. The company runs several government-approved labs, with its largest lab located in Gurugram. What makes his journey even more inspiring is that cricketer Yuvraj Singh believed in his vision and invested in his company. Challenges faced by Deepak Sahni at a young age Deepak grew up in Delhi. His father ran a business in hospitality and textile exports. But when Deepak was in Class 11, the business suffered huge losses, and the family's financial condition worsened. At just 19 years old, Deepak took a bold step. He borrowed Rs. 2 lakh from a relative and opened a computer hardware and repair shop. He had to stop regular college and completed his BCA degree through correspondence. He worked hard to learn everything about computers. In the beginning, he even went out to distribute pamphlets to get customers. In just two years, he sold 120 computers and earned Rs. 10–12 lakh. However, by 2003, big brands entered the market, and it became harder to compete. But Deepak didn't stop here as he kept moving forward, and that is how his journey to success began.

Mandya varsity gets AICTE nod to launch MBA, MCA programmes
Mandya: In a major boost to higher education in the region, Mandya University received approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to launch MBA and MCA programmes starting from the 2025-26 academic year. Additionally, the university is introducing emerging technology subjects—Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Cloud Computing—as optional electives in the Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programme. Until now, students from Mandya aspiring to pursue postgraduate degrees in business administration or computer applications had to travel to other cities, often facing challenges related to travel, expenses, and accommodation. With this new development, students will now have the opportunity to continue their higher studies closer to home. Speaking to TOI, K Shivachithappa, vice-chancellor of Mandya University, said, "We received AICTE approval a few days ago. Many of our students pursuing BBA, BCom, and BCA were struggling to continue their studies in MBA and MCA due to the lack of local options. This initiative will provide much-needed relief and create new opportunities within the district." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Affordability for students: VC The university has allocated 120 seats for MBA and 60 seats for MCA, with admissions being routed through the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA). "This ensures affordability for students, with annual fees set at approximately Rs 75,000 for MBA and Rs 49,000 for MCA. In case seats remain unfilled through KEA, they will be filled through the roster system," Shivachithappa added. He also highlighted that the university has the necessary infrastructure and faculty in place to effectively deliver these programmes. "This move will also help the university generate internal resources and elevate its academic profile," he noted. Recognising the growing demand for AI and related fields, the university's syndicate approved the inclusion of AI, ML, and Cloud Computing as optional subjects in the BCA curriculum from this academic year. Looking ahead, the university is also preparing to launch Master of Physical Education (MPEd) and MEd programmes. While these will not begin this academic year, the groundwork for their introduction in the next academic cycle is already under way. This development marks a significant step in strengthening Mandya University's academic offerings and making quality higher education more accessible to local students.

Students face increased counselling charges for BBA, BCA admissions after shift to DTE
Indore: Students seeking admission in BBA and BCA courses are facing a sharp increase in counselling charges this year, following the shift of the admission process from the Department of Higher Education (DHE) to the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE). With choice filling beginning on Thursday, students are now required to pay Rs1530, including Rs130 as portal charges— 10 times more than the Rs150 fee charged until last year. The sudden hike has added to the financial strain for students, particularly because BBA and BCA courses already have higher academic costs compared to other undergraduate programmes. The examination fee for BBA and BCA is around Rs4000, while for traditional courses like BA and BCom, it stands at approximately Rs2000. "This increase in the registration fee is a huge burden. Many of us come from middle-class families and already struggle with high exam fees and other academic expenses. We also appeared for various entrance tests which are heavy on our pockets," said Priyanshi Jain, an aspirant applying for BBA. "The jump from Rs150 to Rs1530 feels unfair and unplanned." Many students are approaching the colleges expressing concern over the steep registration charges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Visste du dette?

We plan to write to the department requesting a reconsideration or reduction," a senior professor said. While choice filling was scheduled to start on Wednesday as per DTE's schedule, the portal became operational only by Thursday morning. However, students were greeted with a small but welcome change—the addition of a third specialisation in the BBA course. Alongside Hotel Management and Foreign Trade, students can now opt for BBA in Hospital Administration (HA). The inclusion came after repeated discussions between college representatives and DTE officials. College administrators urged the authorities to allow all three specialisations under plain BBA to widen students' career options. Despite the new addition, the increased counselling charges remain a major concern among aspiring students and their families.
