       Today, what I am, is due to a great extent due to a man called Mr. Rajesh Patkar. What started out for me as "YET ANOTHER SOFTWARE COURSE " at "YET ANOTHER INSTITUTE " finally culminated in an eternal learning experience and ended my search for that special guru.. I am anchored to ACS, and it's one man army, Mr. Rajesh Patkar. What started as learning syntax of Java just to help me do my job better ended up as an experience that would stay with me for an entire lifetime. In due course of time, I learnt not only about Computer Science but also about music and spirituality and how these great arts are so close to computer science. Well, If you've not been a part of the Rajesh Patkar experience yet, then I am sure you just re-read the previous sentence multiple times, before you got to this one. Rajesh Patkar is an experience, and soon would be a movement.

    Go for it, if you wanna transform your life. Go for it, if you have long term goals. Go for it, if you wanna experience how the gurukool days would have been.

    A shishya.

I DID GO THROUGH THE OTHER PRESENTED TESTIMONIALS. . .

THEY ARE DEFINATELY WITNESSING THE "VISHALTA " OF THE "GYAN " AND ITS "UPAYOG " AT THE RIGHT TIME, IN APPROPRIATE AMOUNTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IN THE BEST SUITED FORM.

I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HIM AS MY GURU AT THE TIME WHEN I AM SOWING THE SEEDS OF MY ENGNEERING CAREER. . . i.e. . . WHEN STRONG FOUNDATIONS ARE LAID DOWN, THE OUTCOMES ARE UNDOUBTEDLY MEANINGFUL TO ONE AND ALL.

MAY MORE STUDENTS CAN HAVE THIS PLEASURE AND BENEFIT FROM IT.

A guru in real sense, whose altruistic efforts are always towards shaping tomorrow’s technologist. I owe my success to Rajesh sir in way... he poured the knowledge of learning and being a fast self learner – only one of any of his classes is sufficient to become a fast paced self learner. He teaches you how to understand from the grass root level. If you want to learn synthetics do not approach him, yes – but of course, if you want to learn semantics in-depth then, he is the one who can build that in you.

I learnt Java & Advanced Java from him during 2000-01. From that time onwards I have grown from a Programmer to Sr. Programmer to Analyst to Project Leader to Project Manager to Sr. Project Manager to Program Manager today. He has been continuously morale of inspiration for me and gave me lot of career guidance and advices.

I was very close to Rajesh sir during my training days and when I was in Mumbai. I still remember when he took me to a Rational Rose Seminar at Taj West-End at Bandra, Mumbai and we had a Darjeeling fresh tea there at hotel lobby. He told me that “let’s try something new rather then drinking always a routine tea” (sir used to order tea for all students almost daily during our classes). I felt the freshness and the aroma of the tea we all experienced. The thought behind this was to try and explore new things which you have not come across earlier in your life. Who knows when you will strike out? It’s just a matter of perfect time and your sixth sense to grab it. That’s it after that I never looked back in my career.

I sincerely recommend him for any fresher / experienced person to learn the lesson of life from him. You will not be disappointed for sure.

GENIUS is the only word which is somewhat closer than any other dictionary word to define Patkar Sir. My spiritual Guru, P. Swamiji says that for Patkar Sir.

No one else have I seen who can Transfer knowledge with Spirituality.

If work is GOD for you, then Patkar Sir is the most holy saint that you can ever meet.

Whenever I have studied under Patkar Sir, it has always been for long hours per day -- typically 8-10 hours. And its impossible to shift your mind anywhere else during these hours except the topic that he is teaching. The position I have chosen in Accenture is solely because I learnt Design patterns and Java Architecture from Patkar Sir and have started loving it.

I personally believe that technology is not the only thing that one can learn from him. He is the most down to earth individual I have met, given the technological depth he has. Always open to learning new things and always ready to discuss and share his knowledge. And most important always a smiling friend.

I know that whenever I make visits to India, I need to meet him atleast for a while. And hope that I can be in India a longer time or he can come to London, so that I can learn new things from him.

Rajesh Sir reminds me of "The ONE " in Matrix as he is able to see beyond common perceptions & prejudices, the fact being that the ONE in Matrix is fictional while Rajesh Sir is for real. [ACS <=> ZION].

Too difficult to believe that a shopping centre in Malad hosts a training centre that forms the core of the best knowledge dissemination of computer sciences.

I consider myself very lucky to discover ACS & Rajesh Sir in particular, as i apply my learning from ACS in any work i take up.

I do miss the theoretical lectures & discussions on OOPs & I surely wish to learn more from there. I consider it very important for every person in software engineering & computer science field to have a mentor like Rajesh Sir. As after having done umpteen courses from many institutes (before joining ACS), I really wish I had joined ACS earlier.

I have experienced the paradigm shift in many aspects of life after my short stint at ACS. So many important core concepts revealed, design patterns, best practices discussed.

Sometimes I think it's unfair that only a select few (of us) gain so much knowledge from Rajesh Sir while there are too many people striving for the same but are being misguided by several institutes with mediocre courses. I hope many more benefit from Sir & I am sure this number will be directly proportional to the quality of IT pros around us.

I strongly advocate ACS as the place to get trained.

I wish Rajesh Sir & his family all the best for all his current & future endeavours & best

Regards.

...Humble Student (Vijay).

It has been a privilege to study under Prof Patkar, as not only has he provided me with the correct career guidance during engineering days, but has also helped me firm up my fundamentals on computer engineering.

Today I work in a firm, whose chief scientist is Martin Fowler, whose books were a required reading in the Java classes conducted by Prof Patkar.

I came to know about ACS Training & Development Center and Patkar Sir from a holy organization, namely "Swaminarayan ". As a sophomore I would have landed up joining any ordinary institute for my computer literacy, but God sent me to the Right person at the right time.

After interacting with Sir I was overwhelmed as I got to see true essence of a teacher in him. Apart from exhibiting excellent tutelary characteristics, he has also been a good friend.

I wish all the luck to ACS and Sir and hope to garner more knowledge from Sir and nourish my cerebrum with the same.

I came to know about sir through one of my friends. Initially I was suprised to know that a course of Design Patterns exists. I was always under the impression that this can never be taught as this is the toughest part in IT .

But I joined ACS with the intention of giving it a try. I was bowled over by Sir's teaching style, the depth to which he takes the students. These are qualities of a great teacher. He is full of knowledge and yet so humble. I wish he becomes more visible to IT professionals like us through advertising or any other medium so that proper guidance can be given to people and we all realize Sir's dream of IT products oriented India , a true IT superpower rather than service oriented IT superpower. I feel very proud to be a part of ACS community and a student of Patkar Sir.

Thanks a lot . :-)

As a believer of "Geeta ", assuming my self as Arjun (although my name is Nakul ), was looking for Draunacharya of IT field and after hunting a lot my knowledge hunt plane landed at ACS.

I met sir 10 years back in one party and at that time was explaining to sir what funda of C means to a commerce student. After listening passionately for 20-30 minutes Sir gave me his contact no and address of classes.After listening to his first lecture on C (Jan 99), I am still listening to him on many technologies. I realized within 2-3 months that I found Draunacharya of IT field. As a commerce graduate it was never easy for me to settle down in IT. But with sir's guidance and help it was never hard for me to get into this field.

And the best part of this journey is the way he explains IT concepts using examples from the practical and spiritual world which makes difficult funda so easy to understand that it is hard to forget. Would like to thank God for gifting us (atleast me) sir.

I am associated with ACS for more than 4 years now. My first course under Patkar Sir was of Java Technology. Then I did courses on Oracle, Embedded Technology, EJB, Design Patterns under Patkar Sir. All these courses have helped me a lot in my career.

It has given me lot of confidence in whatever I do now. Under Patkar Sir, my thinking about any subject has changed a lot. Prof. Patkar has been my "Guru " in true sense. He not only has great knowledge of lot of subjects, but he also has been extremely successful in sharing his knowledge with his students. He explains even very complex concepts in such a simple way so that the students, irrespective of whether the student is a fresher or experienced , does not have any problems at all in understanding it.

Apart from the courses, Sir has taken initiative in conducting lot of seminars also which have proved to be of great advantage to all his students. Also the KnowledgeNet activity which is started by Sir , has given opportunity to all the ACS students to share their knowledge on internet and do some productive work.

Patkar sir is not only a great teacher and guide , but he is also a great human being. He is always ready to help his students out whenever they need any guidence from him.

Patkar sir has been my inspiration since I met him first, till date. I can not express my gratitude towards him in words. I feel very proud to be a part of ACS community and a student of Patkar Sir.

Prof. Patkar is an excellent teacher and Friend that i have ever come across. His style of teaching and delivery is unique and I have enjoyed each and every lecture of his.

He has and will always be my role model and I have lots of respect for him. He was my teacher from my BE till i came to US. I have also had a unique oppurtunity to work under him in BE where we built a Robot. His guidance in the project was exceptional and unreplaceable. It is my understanding after a long time under him that Prof. Patkar has a very deep understanding of any subject he decides to teach. This combined with his delivery style makes him a unique teacher. I dont think I have enough words to thank Prof. Patkar for what he has given to me. He remains to be my inspiration till date.

I came to know about Prof. Rajesh Patkar from my friend, Anand who was ACS student himself for long time.

After meeting him, I realized that he is the guru that I am looking for and immediately joined batches for EJB and Design Patterns. While learning from him about the subjects, I also learnt how to learn and realized that there are so many things to learn.

My thinking became more refined and focused and concepts became clear. In my opinion, Prof Rajesh Patkar is really a wonderful professor as well as a wonderful person. I can not express my gratitude towards him in words....

Would take this opportunity to thank you and the alma mater for changing my life and many such alumni under your guidance.

The transformation in me was due in whole to Sir's style of communicating, support and encouragement I received from him. There are many things that I particularly value about your approach. Your teaching always offers upto-date information with your own unique style that keeps student engaged in learning process. As a reflection for my respect to Sir's Capabilities, I recommend students that to benefit the most of him begin learning C under him.

I whole-heartedly endorse Mr. Patkar's ability as a coach and a Technology leader. I would be happy to give more details of my coaching experience to any that cares to call.

I've referred several of my friends and colleagues to Mr.Patkar for Coaching, and will continue to do so in the future I look forward to be the part of learning process having you as the mentor.

Its been a long, sweet, learning association with you Sir and hope this remains until eternity. A born orator! who appears as a performer on technology dais.

I still miss being in your class which were dotted with 'hyperlinks' of multiple domain and adeptly associating them with technology. Am inspired by your self-awareness of multiple domains and your confidence. Your trainings are inspiring, touching and exciting as well.

A 'Guru' par excellence !! Your value added training programs are ' Closing the Gap' between education and industry and evolving an individual as a whole. His addition of new courses all the time is something required in changing IT scenarios I have never seen the man grown impatient with a student's questions, or fail to try to help the sincere learner.

Outside classroom Mr. Rajesh patkar had been a true a mentor, in all respects. He is able to engage with students as individuals while still maintaining his professionalism; that is, he is friendly but never inappropriate. You have my professional endorsement and my deepest personal respect.

Deep in the dark forest, there is a beautiful garden of Knowledge, where techie butterflies play around the flowers of technologies.

Yes!! This is how I will describe the ACS T&D center. There is an evolutionsmith (Prof. Rajesh Patkar) working hard to convert all caterpillars into techie butterflies. One enters ACS as a caterpillar and evolutionsmith develops a cocoon of knowledge around him. There happens a metamorphosis, after which a beautiful techi butterfly evolves. When others see rose as a rose, these butterflies sees the rose first as a flower and then as a Rose.

Hooking on to the concepts is the habit of all techies evolved under evolutionsmith. There are butterflies that can run here and there; evolutionsmith takes care to make them capable to fly. There are few who knows how to fly, evolutionsmith teaches them how to find direction. There are many who can fly and go places, evolutionsmith adds beautiful colors to them. Being a butterfly at ACS, one can expect to evolve at any stage and add new colors to life.

Prof. Rajesh Patkar has given shapes to the evolution of many butterflies like me and evolutionsmith is the word I could figure out after thinking a lot on this. It's because of his training; I stand confidently where ever I am. No longer afraid of rose, jasmine or sunflower knowing that they are just types of flowers.

Following lines expresses the Metamorphosis I experienced at ACS. Sitting silently, Doing nothing, Spring comes, And the grass grows by itself. Words are still not sufficient to express my self, but it’s for sure that I will not miss any opportunity to learn under ACS and Prof. Rajesh Patkar.

Prof. Rajesh Patkar - One rarely gifted combination of a teacher and a friend.

I have been to many institutes and also have many friends who attended other institutes where their experiences had been .. average or bad. None could have said that the faculty in the institute was too good to have delivered a career building base to them.

My experience with Sir - "one teacher who has acted as a turning point in my life to build my career. I am lucky to have found a teacher rather than a faculty ".

Will like to share one of my experiences with Sir. This was when sir had decided to purchase the projector for the class. Me, Sir and the sales person were sitting in the hotel discussing the pricing and other stuff. Meanwhile, the sales person passed one comment - "Now it will be good for you to complete the deliverables in lesser duration and in more efficient and professional way. Also will help you conduct more batches with the time saved ". Sir said - "This will help students get the deliverables in more efficient way and earlier than the specified duration. This will help me deliver more to them - which I wanted but was not able to deliver due to the limitation of time ". Sir always tried to prepare his students with the future in vision. What I like very much about him is that he teaches to learn. He is one person I found who loves to teach rather than teach just to earn.

There is still a lot more to share but time and words are not permiting me. Last but no the least - "he is the best at what he does ".
