Adhyay : World class education for free using a cutting edge learning platform, video based courses and live classes by preeminent educationist

About the Project

Adhyay team started with a mission of providing free access to world class education for everyone who has some access to internet. Two most important factors behind poor quality of education are lack of skilled teachers and outdated curriculum and content. At Adhyay, we are making an attempt to deskill teaching process and fill the void caused by these two problems by employing a highly scalable technology platform that provides great learning experience though high quality courses, live classes and interaction with leading scholars. Use of technology makes our business model scale to any number of users, geography, country or languages at a very little cost.

Our solution consists of a central operation (hub) and a network of low cost learning centers in semi urban areas. Central operation is responsible for content creation, delivery mechanism and online operations, while learning centers delivers same content in offline mode on fee basis for students who do not have internet access.

Heart of our solution is high quality courseware and a web based delivery mechanism and collaboration platform to interact with preeminent educationists. Unlike traditional learning mechanism, our solution provides students the freedom to choose what they want to learn, when they want to learn and at their pace and without any fear. We offer live classes and YouTube video courses designed by preeminent educationists. We are trying to leverage open source model and social learning and our platform is available to thousands of great teachers and likeminded professional for free so that they can share their knowledge and coach students from anywhere in the world

Main sources of our revenue will be from education institutes and franchisees network that will use our platform and content, training and consulting to schools and also from our learning centers which operate of fee basis. We also plan to offer value added services and specialized courses to students on pay per use basis.

Who will this help Rise

Though India has more than 200m school going children but only 6% of these students continue to study at collegiate level. An independent study also highlights that more than 75% of these graduates are un-employable and one of the main reasons is poor quality of education.

Our primary users are millions of students from secondary and college level who would not have access to quality education otherwise. Our secondary users are schools and educational institutes who would want to use our content for their students
