As the education
technology industry in India thrives in these unprecedented times, a digital
shift is taking place fundamentally in the education system.
Even though the internet
has made its inroads on a significant population of our country, it has yet not
been able to fully eradicate the gaps in facilitating a seamless teaching
experience. Most of the tier 2 and tier 3 schools even lack having a website,
which has failed the purpose of digitisation.
Digitisation is a
necessity, disguised as a luxury, which comes with a price-tag most schools are
unable to afford. This is when platforms such as Edneed come to the rescue for
scores of educational institutes and professionals who are struggling to make a
mark online.
Edneed provides a robust
knowledge sharing platform which is created keeping in mind the needs of an
educational institute, its teachers and students. It facilitates the process of
adapting to a digital learning experience from a traditional one.
Founded by Saranjeet
Singh, fondly known as Sammy, in his early 20Âs
when he was in Austin, Texas. The edtech startup is based on a revolutionary
concept that stuck his mind when he was unable to connect to his teachers back
in his hometown, situated on the outskirts of India, because of the lack of
basic apparatus such as having a functional website or portal which is a
glaring reality of hundreds of schools across India. Saranjeet was driven to
change this scenario.
Being the son of a lady
who has dedicated her life to teaching, Singh has closely witnessed the
struggles in an educatorÂs
life. This motivated him to build a platform to empower teachers and schools
through digitisation.
The entire idea of
Edneed stems from promoting knowledge sharing and the power of education.
EdneedÂs tagline – Endless & Beyond, reflects this core idea. The power of
education to take an individual beyond all hurdles and opening doors to endless
possibilities for them. Incepted in the year 2016, Edneed makes it possible to
make an instituteÂs website in just 120 seconds, with access to features
such as online classes, assignments and announcements, all on one platform.
The idea and scope of
the edtech platform is so powerful that it has received an FDI funding from
H&R Equity firm which is a group of R Wireless. R Wireless CEO, Raj Singh
is also an education enthusiast and his goal of spreading knowledge through
technology aligned perfectly with SammyÂs.
On Edneed, even private
tutors can digitise their institute, increasing their reach by many folds, for
free. With such incentives and an empowering platform in place, Edneed is
certainly becoming a revolutionary force behind the education mechanism.
Edneed is on a mission to
digitise all public and private educational institutes, making them equipped
with the right technology to seamlessly conduct online classes, assignments and
become a part of a global learning community.
