Enabling you to achieve your dreams..

Life is too short to learn all essential skills by yourself. 


After graduating, a young man from a low-income background began working as a salesman. During the first seven years of his profession, there was no advancement. His roommate gave him the motivation to strive for more in life rather than make do. However, he had very little opportunity to acquire the crucial abilities for both a personal and professional life. His most frequent sources of inspiration were his immediate superiors. which is gaining knowledge from just one or a small number of sources.
 
He taught himself the necessary abilities. This cost a lot of money. After making multiple errors, he discovered one useful lesson. He believed that training sessions, biographies, and books were the best ways to acquire the necessary skills and inspiration. After gaining the necessary abilities, he began to advance in his work. In just 16 years, he advanced to the position of COO from a street-smart salesman.
 
As he was inspired by motivational superstars, he decided to help people who want to achieve greater heights and started a Skill Development Academy called Vertical Progress on 27th January 2011. He is committed to share only proven strategies of success. In search of such proven strategies, he understood that the psychology is the science behind such soft skills. He learnet the scientific term of soft skills. That is Psycho-social skills. To strengthen the contents of his academy’s training programs, he completed a Master of Science in Psychology. In order to regularly update and improve the materials, he also collaborated with successful facilitators, content producers, and knowledge partners.
 
Vertical Progress gained a solid reputation for developing psycho-social skills among the participants from India, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Canada as a consequence of the team's combined efforts. Vertical Progress is based out of Chennai and has a branch at Kuala Lumpur. We have enabled over 100,000 individuals to achieve their dreams in just 10 years.
