AUGUST 201819Even top-quality content and analysis will not ensure a child's academic growth unless the child follows the process regularly. To ensure he does, we have introduced the DIGIGURU.20 MOST PROMISING STARTUPS IN 2018"We believe we have achieved this because of being able to provide an individualistic learning approach to each student. We understand every single child is different but today's mass learning system fails to accurately acknowledge the individual weaknesses unique to a child. When we identify such weaknesses right, we are able to work upon them better. This is why we are being loved and readily accepted by most of the schools and the young minds studying in them," he says. Dedicated Mentor for each ChildThe DIGICHAMPS team aims to identify exactly in which concept a child is going wrong and then ensure his growth under expert guidance by a DIGIGURU. They treat every single child as a unique individual with unique strengths, unique weaknesses and hence unique needs.Satyendu says, "We have just introduced technology into the picture to take care of the teacher-to-student ratio, and in the process, we are trying to make the content practical and fun, so that children would enjoy watching it."Talking about their systematic approach, the team flips the general method and introduces a test before a chapter called the Pre-requisite Test. A child is tested on the basics needed to understand a complex chapter. If he performs well on the test, he gets the confidence to proceed further without fear. If he doesn't, he understands exactly which concepts he needs to brush up so that he can understand the coming chapter best. His DIGIGURU analyses the weak areas and helps develop the child's basics, then ensures he watches the videos covering that topic. The videos are made keeping in mind the attention span of an average child, keeping them fun and experimental to achieve higher understanding. Post the videos, another dedicated test called the Chapter Based Test identifies in which concepts of that particular chapter is the child weak at. The DIGIGURU then works with the child on exactly those concepts so he understands them and hence, grows inevitably. A 24x7 Doubt Clearing empowers the child to clarify any extra doubts, at any point in time."Even after catering top quality content and analytics, one cannot really guarantee a child's growth unless the child follows the entire process. This is exactly why we have attached a Personal Mentor, a DIGIGURU, for every child. He understands the specific needs and then makes a short-term as well as a long-term plan which he ensures that a child follows properly so he has fun in learning and grows unquestionably. All this at a price less than their general tuitions!" he informs.The DIGICHAMPS app-flow follows the same structure as the learning process. There's the Learn section offering video lessons complimented by the PRT and the CBT. The real-life video lessons help children understand a concept better and the tests evaluate how much have they understood so they can exactly work on what they haven't. Even the study materials including Notes and Question Banks help the child increase in knowledge through practice. If a child has any doubt, it could be cleared in the 24x7 Doubt Clearing Section. And his DIGIGURU will ensure he follows the entire process regularly to ensure unquestionable results.A Road to Endless PossibilitiesOver the last two years, DIGICHAMPS has had a phenomenal growth. Starting with 2 persons, the company has grown to a team of 60 now, from few to 55,000 students on-board, and from a one-room office to a 5000 sq. ft. office. They are also working with Governments of Jharkhand, Assam and Odisha to make efficient teaching and learning methodologies affordable and accessible for the state-board students. The company has recently started an initiative- School on Wheels. "We are initiating a digital bus with all the required Odia Medium Content for State schools. That bus will run from village to village and organize evening classes with the e-learning module. We are currently promoting digital education in Odisha's nook and corner. This is something we will be doing completely for free to truly reach out to the bottom of pyramid," expresses Satyendu. In the next five-six months, team DIGICHAMPS envisions reaching two lakh students other than introducing AI in the field of personal mentorship. "We are getting the right team set for both these things and also looking for expert guidance to help us here," he concludes.
