Each possesses unique skills which complements that of the other. Unlike other startups, we don’t believe in hire and fire. Our motto is ‘One for All, All for One’ and this spirit binds each member in the team together to perform exceptionally better.” – says the Co-founders. Where it all began for Programming Hub It’s pretty important to know where you’re headed as a business, but it’s equally important to remember where you came from, and what it was that got you into this position in the first place. A problem that needed to be fixed It all started when the founders of Programming Hub were already working with renowned companies – got stuck up with problems while coding and could not find the solution in books, it was difficult for them to go through umpteen number of books/websites in a short span of time. That was when the “idea” germinated in their minds which solved not just their problem but is also helping “n” number of people facing the same issues in their life. Problems faced by beginners Difficult to understand programming, Learning programing is monotonous and time consuming Problems faced by professionals Little time to learn and work, Learning new programing language Problems faced by teachers and institutions Conventional methods are found difficult to teach programing, Have to prepare reference and codes for students This gave birth to Programming Hub– A Perfect app that makes programming life so much easier! Belief that hard work and a great idea are required ingredients for success, but that those two elements alone are not enough for a startup to become a success. You also have to be a jack-of-all-trades. Hard work is essential, but working smart accomplishes more. You need to be hardworking and be bold to execute the ideas with accuracy and speed. At times, you need to be a superman and not just hardworking. To deliver not just results but success. At startups, resources are limited so everyone has to wear multiple hats. One minute you’re meeting with a very well respected venture capital investor and the next minute you have to clean the dishes in the sink. You can’t hide behind your job title. 11th May 2016 marks another milestone in Programming Hub’s journey – being selected into the Google Launchpad Accelerator program.
