Whether you are a fresh graduate looking for your first break or a professional seeking to upgrade, our labs are open to help you master the machines that move the world.\n <br><br>\n We are committed to your growth, your skills, and your career.\"\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"signature\">\n Sincerely,<br>\n Mayur Kale\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"stats-section\">\n <div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"stats-grid\">\n <div>\n <div class=\"stat-number\">10+<\/div>\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Years Experience<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div>\n <div class=\"stat-number\">500+<\/div>\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Students Trained<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div>\n <div class=\"stat-number\">100%<\/div>\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Practical Training<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div>\n <div class=\"stat-number\">50+<\/div>\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Placement Partners<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n <script>\n const canvas = document.getElementById('automation-bg');\n const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');\n\n \/\/ Set canvas to full screen\n let width, height;\n function resize() {\n width = canvas.width = window.innerWidth;\n height = canvas.height = window.innerHeight;\n }\n window.addEventListener('resize', resize);\n resize();\n\n \/\/ Particles\n const particles = [];\n const particleCount = 50; \/\/ Reduced slightly for About page clarity\n const connectionDistance = 150;\n\n class Particle {\n constructor() {\n this.x = Math.random() * width;\n this.y = Math.random() * height;\n this.vx = (Math.random() - 0.5) * 1.0; \n this.vy = (Math.random() - 0.5) * 1.0; \n this.size = Math.random() * 2 + 1;\n this.color = Math.random() > 0.8 ?
