The Other Salman Khan


Recently while browsing I stumbled upon a link Khan Academy , I was wondering how come Salman Khan (yes, the bollywood actor) start an education based website. After visiting the site I came to know that this is another Salman Khan. This Khan wants to make use of technology to impart knowledge free of cost. Indeed a great initiative.

It is interesting to know about him & also spread information about him, so that people can benefit from his Academy. And if you are wondering about his educational background, He received his MBA from Harvard Business School. He holds Masters in Electrical Engg & Computer Science, a BS in Electrical Engg & Computer Science & a BS in Maths from MIT. Wow Superb.

Enjoy watching his videos & spread a word about him to people you know.


Good going Salman Khan.....
