Early life
Rohit Aggarwal, a computer science graduate, founded Koenig Solutions in November 1993. The Information Technology industry was just beginning to lay roots in India at that time. Initially, he started the company to cater to the domestic market. However, when the dot com bubble burst, the firm ran into rough weather. The company struggled to survive in a highly competitive market and suffered huge losses.

When the industry started looking up, Koenig managed to stay afloat because of Mr. Aggarwal's unique idea. He noticed that almost every training batch had one or two students from Europe. He pioneered the concept of Education Tourism in India. Offering accommodation and airfare to offshore students within the training package proved to be a win-win situation for Koenig as well as foreign students. The idea clicked and Koenig's business flourished exponentially. Koenig opened training centers in tourist places such as Shimla, Dehradun, Goa.

Now the company has total five centers in India - New Delhi, Shimla, Goa, Dehradun, Bangalore; and one training facility in Dubai, UAE. Under the leadership of Rohit Aggarwal, Koenig has achieved various milestones, the most recent of which is the launch of the world's largest training center in Delhi.
