ARAVIND B T

Quant Trainer

As fate would have it, immediately after graduating with his engineering degree, he was picked up by a Test prep firm to teach Quant for CAT. There has been no looking back since then. He has 12 years of experience of having taught Quant for GMAT, GRE, CAT and other competitive exams.
