Forward

Education is the key that allows nations to unlock their human potential. In recent times, digital learning has become a buzzword in the education sector. With the advent of new technologies, on-demand digital learning has been on the rise. Way back in 2007, when technology had a limited role to play in the education sector, Next Education entered the realm of e-learning to provide technology-based solutions. "India has a large private sector segment unlike countries where education is government controlled. A few years back we saw a huge opportunity to impact the market for the greater good and decided to tap it," says Beas Dev Ralhan, Co-Founder & CEO, Next Education.

The Vision

Next Education came into existence with the mission to provide in-house, end-to-end service and transform the education sector in India. Today, the company provides technology-based solutions ranging from Teaching Aids to Self-learning Modules and from Platform Services to Hands-on Learning. Over the years, Next Education created ground-breaking products that transformed the lives of 6 million+ students studying in Next Education's 6,000+ partner schools. The comprehensive range of products and services designed for the K-12 segment in India has successfully bridged the student-teacher gap.

The Challenge

Among the several challenges that Next Education faced as a startup, developing audio-visual content and training people were the major ones. The company's innovative solution offerings and persistent work culture helped it grow over the years.
