Who We Are

Where raw talent becomes safety-ready talent

Headquartered in Navi Mumbai, Global Vertical Institute (GVI) bridges the critical gap between raw academic training and the intense, high-risk demands of the elevator industry.

Founded by Amol Narawade (20+ years in the elevator industry) and led by technical experts like Dean Manik Shivankar (17+ years, ex-Otis), GVI provides a controlled engineering proving ground. We train and certify fresh recruits and veteran technicians safely.

We train and certify people in a controlled environment, never on live client sites.
