INDIGO BUSINESS CONSULTING - History & Background
The IBC Method of creating 'Activity Clubs' to channel youth towards the career path alignned to their skills and talent is based on approved programs by the TTPYC Trinidad and Tobago Police Youth Club and Community Relations Division for funding "Activity Clubs" nationwide, in which, TTPYC Personel would have been given training and IBC Consulting Support in identifying an "Industry Expert" be it a National Coach/ Athlete or person of qualified status to Create "Sustainable Club Strategies & Cultures" embedded into the structure of each specific Club Activity.

Over the Covid-19 Pandemic John and Sidelle Castagne formed a company that embodied their connections across multiple industries derived from their 14+ years in the Entertainment and Sporting Industry. Indigo Business Consulting partnered with Non-Profits and Government Entities such as Cure Violence in the National Security Citizens Security Program, the Ministry of Agriculture in a "Project All" Initiative Commissioned by then Commissioner of Police Mr. Gary Griffith overseen by the TTPS- IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force) Hearts and Minds Division, in which over 14 Micro-Farms we started in Several of the "Highest Risk" Communities ravaged by Gang Activity and Violence. Indigo Business Consulting has been instrumental in PeaceKeeping in Laventille, where Celebrity BodyGuard and ex BodyGuard to Biggie Smalls, Kevin Da Costa aka Johnny Bravo, and IBC CEO John Martin Castagne mediated "Peace Talks" and helped undertake the first ever "Blessed Be The PeaceKeepers" Prisons' Peace Concert in the Golden Grove - Maximum Security Prison.

Due to the Unstable Economic and Political Instability of Trinbago, identified specifically with Commissioner of Police position being Acting (Acting COP - Unable to sanction TTPYC Development Plan) and Government Ministries 'Dragging their Feet' on releasing funds for approved youth projects, IBC wrote to the president in which we received an encouraging but still disappointing letter from the president of the Republic of T&T in which she agreed and commended our Company's work but being a NON-Executive President unable to sway government in their politics. The decades of consistently 'dropping the ball' on progressing and funding work of nonprofits and community based organisations like IBC, has led us to minimize our objectives to attempt these Youth Clubs in a controllable format that can actually impact youth. For this reason we chose BATCE as a perfect school to embark on this project due to the wonderful experience John Castagne had during his school tenure, with the positive impact leading him to achievements of himself and his company in the endeavour to progress our nation's youth.
