In India, the Union Budget 2019 allocated nearly INR 94,000 crore for education. Despite this expenditure, students coming out of the education system are not job-ready and lack the necessary skills needed to thrive in the era of Industry 4.0. One of the main limitations of our education system is asymmetrical learning. In a typical classroom, the pace of teaching cannot adapt to different learning capacities and learning levels of the students. However, educational technology (EdTech)—the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the education system—can bridge the gap between delivering education and making learning effective.

As we all know, founders, VCs and maverick product makers bet their money, talent and time to build businesses which will provide multifold returns. Therefore, a tech product must achieve hyper-growth, a phase of rapid expansion when a startup grows at 20-40% CAGR and doubles the company’s revenues every three-four years. Not every tech startup can reach that height. But companies which do are often considered soonicorns (soon-to-be-unicorns) and generally enter the prestigious unicorn club.
