Thus, our effort has always been to revolutionize teaching by digitally empowering educators. We essentially help them to build and grow their online coaching business. Moreover, through their own super-app educators can create, monetize, and market content, as well as expand their student base in India and abroad. Till date, our educators have earned more than INR 500 Cr across 3000+ cities in India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
