Vikas Joshi, chairman and managing director of the Harbinger Group, attributed Harbinger Group’s rapid growth to its innovative software products and technology services.

“Educators are discovering that students learn faster and retain information better when they are actively engaged through interactive programs. Harbinger has established itself as a global leader in this important arena,” he said. “The growth in our technology services business despite globally challenging times goes to demonstrate that our clients value the innovation we deliver through services.”

Harbinger Knowledge Products’ leading software product, Raptivity, enables instructors to easily create highly interactive eLearning content, including games, simulations, 3D objects, videos and even “virtual worlds” that bring traditional subjects like history, science and mathematics to life.

“Harbinger’s software makes learning much more fun and interesting for students and employees, which in turn helps them learn more easily,” said Redmond resident Seema Chaudhary, president of Harbinger Knowledge Products, which has an office in downtown Redmond. “Additionally, the software is easy for instructors to use. They don’t have to be software programmers or designers. Teachers simply follow one of hundreds of templates to create their own, customized interactive program.”
