Getting Educated Just Got Simpler: Top 14 Indian Education Tech Startups


BANGALORE: Let’s start with what you read in “epics” like Ramayana and “Mahabharata” about getting education. Students in those days had to go to Gurukuls, stay with the Gurus and study, away from all utilities and luxuries. But, this idea of getting education changed with the modern times. Though students have to spend a big chunk of their time away from their family and homely luxuries to get educated but still they get time to meet and greet their family too. From Gurukuls to “Cool” schools and colleges, every facet of education in India has always been dynamic. In between, another trend which the students witnessed was to go to tuition classes (to get more marks from Sharma ji’s son!). The lure of achieving more education and marks made students attend tuition classes indeed (that’s just our parent’s perspective, we all know that it was “that girl” for which we attended tuition classes!).

But this trend anyways is going to be obsolete soon. Education Tech Startups are changing the very face of Indian Education system according to Anurag, Bloger Spot. According to him, now you don’t need to go to tutions or classes to learn or clear your doubt as everything is just few clicks away from preparing for a test to lectures.
