EDS Learning & Leadership Academy, popularly known as ELLA , was developed to meet the increasing need for a technically qualified and professionally sound employee base at MphasiS, an EDS company. The depth of potential within our constantly growing team and the intense need to channel this energy towards company objectives is the foundation for ELLA. ELLA's objective is to create a talent pool with skill mixes that can have quick impact on business.The core intent of ELLA is to nurture and develop talented young graduates who have shown potential in both technical and non-technical areas; graduates who not only have the aptitude to learn but also the passion to perform. To turn this raw material into skilled resources, ELLA offers training in two main areas - Technical and Non-Technical. The technical curriculum is facilitated by professionals from various fields with extensive knowledge and rich experience in their respective domains. Specific technologies are defined based on the inventory of skills needed for current and future projects as well as what is niche in industry.

This skill mix is revised for each batch thus ensuring that our graduates are learning state-of-the-art technologies that are highly relevant in the market. However, foundations need to be strong regardless of technology, thus all batches are taken through mature course work. ELLA is established at Mangalore, Karnataka. Mangalore is a coastal city and shares many interesting topographical features with places like Mumbai and Kolkatta. The city derives its name from the presiding deity Mangaladevi, the Goddess of Fortune. An important port, this coastal town is a major commercial center for coffee and cashew exports..
