KarmYog Education Network (KEN) is incorporated as a Private Limited Company with its registered office in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It focuses on Learning for Life & Livelihood. It forms and incubates Focused Learning Companies (FLCs) to address the learning, skill-development and training needs of specific industry and sectors identified by market opportunities, National Skill Development Corporation and other national agencies. Each FLC delivers scalable and effective learning experiences using cutting edge distribution technology and multimedia content and is led, angel-funded and guided by key experts and influencers from within that industry segment. KEN acts as a de-facto holding company for the FLCs. It provides the FLCs a common shared-services platform where efficiencies and scale economies are critical. This enables an FLC to rapidly develop and implement a learning-ware development strategy to and penetrate their respective markets. The heart of learning is the learning experience of the student. The heart of KarmYog Education Network is our OmniDEL™ approach to designing learning. OmniDEL™ stands for Omni Dimensionally Engaging Learning. Our OmniDEL™ is a groundbreaking approach to learning that engages the physical, pranic, mental and spiritual aspects of learners. The result of this approach is a much more energized, engaged and motivated learner
