What is the value proposition that Indus Edupreneurs
offers?
Indus Edupreneurs in association with Educare Global Varsity offers a blend
of offline and online learning in the K-12 segment. The services target the
diagnostic and corrective learning for the students.
What challenges are schools facing in terms of use of
technology?
I have found that schools are really facing challenges in two areaslack of
technology education among management and faculty members, and inadequate number
of computers. To implement an e-learning tool, the number of computers has to
become proportionate to the number of students. Also, schools should ideally
have some kind of reliable Internet connectivity.
What is the kind of IT infrastructure you have created
to deliver educational services over Internet?
We have a created a fully dedicated interactive e-learning platform, loaded
with best content from the industry. We have some of the best subject matter
experts who are constantly creating new content and upgrading the existing
content according to syllabus. It is a hosted service and thus do not require
any site based specific software or any specific hardware installation. It is
based on plug-and-play model. We have created a high-end team of technologist
with a fair experience in the platform development.
What are your expansion plans?
We have a well defined expansion plan. Under brand Educare Global Varsity,
we are preparing to launch interactive classroom sessions for students in the
schools and colleges. We have designed contents required to simplify the
understanding of the subject with the help of best teachers and multi-media
content. We are present in eight states (Delhi, Karnataka, Orrisa,
Uttar-Pradesh, Bihar, Maharastra, West Bangal, Punjab, and Haryana). And soon we
have plans of covering rest of the states of India and enter into Malaysia, the
Philippines, Indonesia and East Africa market with our offerings. We also have a
presence in Singapore.
What about the Indus Kids initiative?
We are launching Indus Kids (a daughter company of HR Biocare), Indias
first technology based play school for 360 degree development of child. I am
using some of the technologies used in the digital cinema creation which will be
the first such initiative.
