Nuzhat Kidvai

Nuzhat has been a teacher for many years, having taught at College and School Levels. Ever since she was introduced to computers - way back in the late 70s - she has been fascinated at the various ways in which they can support and enhance education. Her company, Solutions Unlimited, has been the leading education technology consultancy for almost 15 years. She is now acting as an advisor to the C3 Project in Beaconhouse Schools. Not only did Nuzhat sail for many years, on merchant ships, with her husband, but she also qualified for a maritime position and was Third Officer of a Singaporean ship.

Zaheer Kidvai

Although not strictly a 'techie', Zaheer has been involved with information and education technologies since the late 70s, when Apple launched the first personal computer and triggered off the current revolution. His great love, to this day, remains Acorn's BBC machine, which he thinks has never been really replaced in its entirety. He visited the UK as part of a British Council initiative to interact with organizations involved in the use of computers in Special Education and has, through companies he set up and managed, helped the British Council mount three excellent Exhibitions on the uses of Technology in Education.

A popular speaker at many IT and Education forums and events, he headed, until recently, the Department of New Media and of the Centre for New Media & Educational Resources (departments that he conceived and set up) at Hamdard University.

His 15-year old company, Solutions Unlimited, now run by his wife, specializes in introducing and supporting the use of Computers across the curiculum in schools.

Zaheer is, currently, the CEO of BITS (Beyond Information Technology Solutions Pvt. Ltd.), a newly formed organization in partnership with the Beaconhouse Group. BITS will focus on e-learning and content development, as well as on developing strategies and applications for taking businesses online in the New Economy.
