Paavai Insitutions’ Journey with Microsoft India started in December, 2010. Initially, a Proof of Concept (POC) Center was started in Jan, 2011 to show case the competencies and talent available among the Paavai students. An ideation fest was conducted during Feb to May, 2011 – wherein the Paavai Students were asked to ideate and come out with innovative abstracts/ideas, which can be carried out as projects leading to Innovation using Microsoft Products.

More than 800 ideas were submitted by, the students of various Paavai Institutions and they were evaluated for its uniqueness and relevance by a team of Professors & Faculty. 49 of these ideas were shortlisted and found unique (thorough validation and eliminating ideas which were lifted/copied & found duplicate). These 49 ideas were presented to a team of Software Professionals from Corporates like Microsoft, TCS, Mahindra Satyam, Mayuras Automations & renowned Independent Consultants – who went thru these presentations and shortlisted 5 of those ideas to go further with Project work using Microsoft Products.
