The Global E-commerce and Digital Marketing Center(GDEC) is a pioneering initiative to prepare businesses, professionals, and students for the Digital Era. GDEC was set up by a grant from Anakta INC, a USA registered company, and offers its training programs in the USA, UK, Canada, India, and Australia. There are very few programs in the formal education system that offer e-commerce training and practical experience. The GDEC was set up to bridge this gap. The GDEC is an academic venture and backed by generous grants and donations from its patrons. It is the stated policy of the GDEC not to deny access to any student based on their economic ability to afford its programs.
