The team left the following comments lauding the institute:

"It has been a great privilege to have had the chance to visit this fantastic facility that has been created in what is a wonderful location. With this being only my second visit to India, this visit has given me a thirst to revisit and see more of this remarkable place. Mr Teeka, you have created something very special here and I wish you and your team all the very best for success in your venture and I am delightful that we are there to play a part in it."

“Wow! What a great facility!!! This is truly a world-class facility with excellent equipment and environment. It makes me want to be young again so that I can attend such a place of learning – this comes from someone who had the opportunity to attend IIT Kharagpur! This place is a testament to the vision of Mr. Teeka and his wife. I am delighted to have the opportunity to see this”
