History of MDI

As year passes, the company flourishes from staff strength of 2 to the current staff strength of 9 employees. In 1987, the company set up the first current Mirror D’ International Hair and Beauty Training Center. From year 1987 to 1992, our core business is focused on the area of professional hairstyling and in 1993, MDI underwent a major restructuring where the focus was directed towards ‘training’ which became our main core business. In 2013, MDI decides to transform into MDI College where the focus would be on the continuance of pursuing the school’s Vision in becoming a premier college.
