India is a country, where the knowledge economy is booming and coupled with the demographic advantage, is providing an opportunity for organizations to set up foreign and domestic enterprises. Consequently, this unprecedented enterprise growth is exerting a tremendous inward pressure for garnering complementing Human Resources skills and that too quickly. While, this is good news for India’s 1 billion plus work-force, there is a grim side to it as well…there is an increasingly serious challenge of plugging the gap in between growing employment opportunities within the nation with a dynamic, competently skilled work-force. This gap between the employable and the non-employable workforce thus introduces a window for growth, that of a budding "Training Industry". Organizations and Individuals today are both driven by exceptional performances. Organizations have a competitive advantage only through their human capital while individuals have skills as their biggest asset. Thus, creating the need for an environment, that stimulates the skill development, its sustenance and its dissemination.

It is interesting to note that while the training industry evolves itself to its changing environs, it is the trainer community which is ‘impacts’ and at the same time gets ‘impacted’ the most. A Trainer is one of the most critical pillars of the Training Industry. While the world gets many views of the Training Industry per se, it is the Trainer that is squarely forgotten in the melee.With this as a background, Guruvantage.com resolved to reveal the star side of the story. ‘Guruvantage Trainers Conclave 2011’ was conceptualised with a simple, singular thought-line to see the evolution of the Indian Training Industry through the eyes of its most critical stakeholder – The Trainer.
