What TrueDirectory is
TrueDirectory is a directory and guides platform for India, founded in 2026 by Firoz Ahmed, and operated independently of the businesses it lists. We publish research-backed comparisons of IT training courses, service providers and colleges — with real fees, named alternatives, and a clear note on who each option actually suits. Our course guides serve learners worldwide (training is delivered live online), while our local business listings currently focus on India and Delhi NCR as we expand. Some placements are paid and clearly labelled "Sponsored" (see below); everything else is unpaid editorial.
Sponsored placements & paid partners
ShiftToTech Academy (shifttotech.co.in), SwitchToDevOps (switchtodevops.com) and NoohArk Technologies (noohark.com) are paid featured partners of TrueDirectory. They pay us to hold a promoted placement in the guides and category pages where they are relevant. We only take paid features from providers we would genuinely point a reader to — but a paid slot is advertising, not an independent ranking, and we label it that way everywhere it appears:
- Every link to a paid partner carries
rel="sponsored"so search engines treat it as a paid link, not an editorial endorsement. - Every guide and category page featuring them shows a visible "Sponsored" disclosure.
- They are badged "Featured Partner" in listings — never "Verified" like the businesses we shortlist editorially.
How other businesses get listed
Every listing that is not marked as a featured partner is editorial and unpaid. We shortlist those providers from public information, published fees, alumni feedback and our own research — and we tell you to verify current details directly before paying anyone. We do not accept payment to change what a guide says about any business, paid partner or not.
How we make money
TrueDirectory is funded by paid featured placements — businesses like ShiftToTech pay to be promoted in the guides where they are relevant. That is the honest commercial model of this site, and it is exactly why the "Sponsored" labels and disclosures above exist: so you always know which placements are paid and which are not.
