ICPI-Overseas Teacher Training Institute (ICPI-OTTI)
as it exists today basically evolved and developed over a period
of 10 years before it took concrete shape in the year
2000 AD. The ICPI-OTTI concept emerged out of the
experiences and practices of a team of highly qualified
senior professionals with varying consultancy backgrounds
in Management, HRD, Training, Testing, Development, Media,
Marketing, Communication, IT and Logistics.
More importantly this team as consultants to an international
American consortium, TECHONS, USA successfully assembled
and deployed approximately 3854 personnel. A multinational

It comprised of nationals form UK, USA, India, Finland,

Doctors and other medical staff for hospitals, skilled, semi-skilled and
unskilled workers for projects covering General Construction,

Then at the height of IT boom form 1995-2000, the same
team as consultants to Technology Connections, Inc. Cupertino,
CA, USA were responsible for resourcing, training and
international deployment of 1844 high technology IT professionals
from India to USA. The Complete package for our clients
included from advertising of vacancies, short-listing of

final short list of candidates for interview with overseas
principals on telephone or through video-conferencing
leading to eventual selection. Thereafter, at the behest

160 hours of training and testing of their professional
disciplines coupled with coaching and polishing of their
