As a key leader at Red & White Multimedia Education, I have been part of the journey of building a skill-focused education ecosystem dedicated to helping students develop practical, industry-relevant skills. Since its early beginnings, our focus has remained on creating meaningful career opportunities through quality education, hands-on learning, and continuous innovation.

What began with a small 135 sq. ft. space has grown into a network of 22+ branches across Gujarat, helping thousands of students build careers in the IT and creative industries. Along the way, we have also supported 250+ aspiring entrepreneurs, helping them turn their skills and ambitions into meaningful professional journeys.

I have also contributed to the growth of Red & White Designing Institute, established in 2008, which has provided certified design education to thousands of learners through its centres in Surat. The journey reflects our broader vision of making skill-based education accessible, practical, and aligned with the changing needs of the industry.

“Leadership is not just about building an organisation; it is about building people, trust, and opportunities that create lasting impact.”— RWn. Hasmukh Rafaliya, Co - Founder & CEO

A Journey of Growth

A Meeting That Started It All

A Meeting That Started It All

Hitesh Desai and Hasmukh Rafaliya, both from humble farming backgrounds in Saurashtra, met in a college classroom in Surat. While pursuing their education, they began noticing the gap between traditional learning and the practical skills students needed to build successful careers. That shared realization became the foundation of a much bigger vision.

2005

The Birth of Red & White

The Birth of Red & White

With a vision to transform IT and multimedia education through practical, industry-oriented learning, Hitesh and Hasmukh founded Red & White in Surat. The journey began from a modest 260 sq. ft. workspace on A.K. Road, with just a few computers, limited resources, and a strong determination to create something meaningful.

Expanding Beyond IT Education

Expanding Beyond IT Education

As the demand for creative and practical career skills grew, Red & White expanded its educational vision beyond IT and multimedia. The launch of Red & White Designing Institute introduced dedicated pathways in Fashion Design and Interior Design, marking an important step toward building a broader creative skill ecosystem.

The FOCO & FOFO Expansion

In 2020, Red & White introduced its FOCO (Franchise Owned, Company Operated) and FOFO (Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated) models. This marked an important step in making the organization's skill-based education accessible across more regions while creating a scalable framework for expanding the Red & White network.
