Hello.
My name is Avinash Meetoo and I live in Mauritius. When I was a kid, I was a computer geek and, when I grew up, I found it natural to study Computer Science (or, more precisely, Informatics.) After eight years of teaching at university level and despising what research has become, I decided to quit academic life and create my own company, Knowledge Seven, a Linux, Mobile and Web Agency in Mauritius. Today I am a Senior Adviser to the Minister of Technology, Communication and Innovation and my job is to contribute towards a Smart and Innovative Mauritius.
I am a fan of Linux and Open Source Software and I founded the Linux User Group of Mauritius in 2000. My laptop runs Fedora Linux and it rocks. I also like Apple computers and I have an iMac for photography and music. I love my OnePlus 3T smartphone and my Google Nexus 7 tablet, two beautiful Android devices.
I like to browse, blog, tweet and program. I also listen to music a lot and I compose too (I’ve released three albums…) I also like photography.
I am married to a wonderful Christina and we have two very interesting and cool kids: Anya and Kyan.
Hi Avinash
I am based in South Africa, VP HR for a mobile security company that specializes in out of band two factor authentication for banks across the world.
We are looking at hiring developer talent in Mauritius, we have office space and registered company in Ebene- Cybercity (port louis).
Could you point me in the right direction – how will I go about hiring talented mobile and Java developers (approx 7 people)
Hi Rita, as you are looking for Java developers of a certain caliber I suppose, I would advise you to go through a local recruitment agency.

Hi Avinash
I work for a Nasdaq listed security company and I have tried reaching out on many occasions to mauritius cert to understand Mauritius’s security challenges as I am based in Mauritius, but with no luck.
I really hope this is not the anyone else’s experience.
Thanks

I would advise you to call Cert-Mu at the National Computer Board on 210 5520. Hope this works.
Hello,
I was looking for information online and i came across your page. Does Mauritius allow international student with HIV status study in their country?

Hi. From what I understand, a lot of jobs in the future will be technology-based so it’s a good idea to have a solid grasp of Maths and Science. This is also true if you want to become an engineer. As for what specific engineering jobs, I believe that all will be in demand. Choose what you are most happy with…
