Story
by Sri Chaitanya
Your Perpetual Source of ATAW Knowledge
Although education has always helped us evolve, the
educational system remained conventionally rigid, resistant
to change, and confined to physical classrooms. It had been
the case before arrived global pandemic compelling every
one of us to change our entire outlook on everything,
especially the way we impart knowledge to our future
generations.
Thanks to swift digitalization and our timely adoption of
advanced technologies, we learned anew that change is the
only constant and that the journey of learning is a never-
ending endeavour. Our ancient philosophy teaches us that
we are but a thirsty mind in the cosmic ocean of eternal
wisdom; today, thousands of learning-hungry minds are
guided profoundly via Infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya.
Revealing their focus on building the unicorn EdTech in
India and enhancing learner performance through their
digital talent and new-age technologies, Ujjwal Singh,
President and CEO, says, “At Infinity Learn, we believe in
getting substantially more for less, optimizing and multiply-
ing the results of our key success factors with optimal
efforts.”
Gaining Optimum Wisdom
He furthers that they empower learners to excel and
educators to elevate their teaching. Their goal is to encour-
age learners to surpass their expectations and inspire
teachers to improve continually. “In pursuing this ambition,
we focus on generating outcomes tailored to each learner's
unique goals rather than striving for competition. We do
not, as a principal, believe in competing with anyone,” he
insists.
Based on these exceptionally distinctive principles, Infinity
Learn has
~Achieved ATAW (Anytime, anywhere product) available
on Android Network, iOS, and Web along with offline
access for learning videos.
~Launched new features to enhance the learning journey in
an engaging manner, including CYOT (Create your Own
test), Error test, recommended videos, video solutions,
Games, etc.
~Launched Adaptive Learning such as Knowledge Graph,
Recommendation engine, Goal Setting, Dynamic Question
paper, Doubt Resolution System, etc.
Expansion/Launch of new verticals/BUs:
Alongside selling to consumers directly through the online
portal (Outside school), Ujjwal and his team Infinity have
started to tap learners ‘Inside School’ through the launch of
‘Infinity School.’ “We have made inroads into 100+ schools
in the last 12 months through our curricular and co-
curricular offerings serving learners across the Grades 1-12,
thus providing a one-stop solution to enable students in
these school’s crack ranks in the prestigious exams like
JEE/NEET,” says Ujjwal who is a tech enthusiast, innova-
tor, strong believer in modernizing education and breaking
the barriers of conventional education systems. He stands
for the values of ideation, innovation, constant improve-
ment, and inclusivity.
The Brightest Illuminating Star
Currently, he heads Infinity Learn, an outcome-based
learning EdTech start-up by the Sri Chaitanya Group. At the
company’s helm, Ujjwal manages the fast-growing brand,
ensuring its mission and vision are successfully imple-
mented across the operations.
With his 25 years of experience in education, he has
successfully delivered business value through frugal
product development with two patents filed in his name.
Before Infinity Learn, he was associated with Pearson,
where he successfully built businesses to scale from scratch
and implemented education programmes across geogra-
phies. He has served in leading roles like Chief Product
Officer and Vice President at Pearson. So far, he has created
multiple innovative digital-first education products that
have received tremendous positive customer responses.
He believes in being a better self each day, encourages and
supports his teams to outdo themselves consistently, and
pushes them to the highest level of self-actualization. An
empathetic leader, a design thinker, a serial entrepreneur, an
inclusivity advocate, a customer-centric product developer,
and an IDEO-certified rapid prototyper, Ujjwal dons several
hats with ease. He brings an experience of over two decades
in the education industry. His career straddles management
and product development in equal stead, and he always
enjoys a challenge, especially if it is time-bound.
Through Infinity Learn, he aspires to create an immersive
and measurable learning system and achieve physical
classrooms’ engagement levels in a digital setting –
A New Age Platform for a New Age Learner
Ujjwal is also a sports enthusiast and loves binge-reading
and watching shows in varied genres. Sharing their
inspiration behind venturing into the EdTech niche, he says
that Infinity Learn aims to carry Sri Chaitanya’s legacy in
the digital learning and teaching space and create a
powerful impact in every child’s life. Infinity Learn is a
combination of traditional wisdom and technology that
creates a system of learning that is engaging and measur-
able.
As an experienced leader, Ujjwal shares his opinion on how
adopting modern technologies like AI and ML impacts the
startup space and how Inifnity Learn adapts to the change.
He says, “I'm inspired by visionaries like Sam Altman and
Sal Khan, who have already begun harnessing the power of
AI and ML in the EdTech space.” Their pioneering work
demonstrates the transformative potential of these technolo-
gies to reshape education, empower learners, and drive
innovative solutions in the startup ecosystem. The future of
EdTech lies in embracing and adapting to this change,
unlocking boundless opportunities for growth and impact.
According to him, they face several challenges in the
current industry scenario, including rapidly evolving
technology, fierce competition, and the need to continu-
ously innovate to stay ahead. However, amidst these
challenges, their focus on building a sustainable business,
adopting frugal practices, and staying true to their purpose
of empowering learners remains unwavering.
Surmounting Obstacles
To overcome these challenges, they prioritize resource
optimization and constantly seek creative ways to deliver
high-quality, cost-effective solutions. By embracing a frugal
mindset, they are better equipped to adapt and respond to
market shifts without compromising their commitment to
our learners.
Moreover, they invest heavily in research and development
to stay at the forefront of technological advancements, such
as AI and ML, which allows them to enhance and personal-
ize the learning experience. By doing so, they can better
cater to the diverse needs of their learners and maintain a
competitive edge in the market.
“Above all, we stay true to our mission of empowering
learners by fostering a culture of continuous improvement
and innovation. We actively listen to feedback from our
users, collaborate with experts, and forge strategic partner-
ships to ensure that we're always aligned with the needs of
our learners and the broader educational landscape.”
In summary, by building a sustainable and frugal business,
staying true to their purpose, and embracing innovation,
Ujjwal and Team Infinity continue to overcome industry
challenges and drive their firm towards a brighter future for
their learners and the world at large.
Fostering EdTech-powered Revolution
Ujjwal firmly believes that the startup ecosystem is crucial
today as it drives innovation, fosters economic growth, and
creates new opportunities across various sectors. The role of
startups in pushing the boundaries of technology, disrupting
traditional industries, and solving complex problems cannot
be overstated.
In particular, integrating AI into the education sector
represents one of the most significant historical moments
that humankind is poised to witness. “In the next six
months, we can expect to see ground-breaking advance-
ments in EdTech, as AI-powered solutions revolutionize the
way we approach learning and teaching.”
The fusion of AI with education will enable highly
personalized learning experiences, adaptive content, and
real-time feedback, allowing educators to tailor their
approaches to each student's unique needs. Furthermore,
AI-powered analytics will help identify areas for improve-
ment and guide the development of targeted interventions,
thereby enhancing overall educational outcomes.
Words for the Wise
He advises budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture
into the startup space to acknowledge the importance of
having a solid support system. Family support is indeed
essential, as it provides emotional and mental stability
during the inevitable ups and downs of the entrepreneurial
journey. Without a strong foundation of support, the
challenges entrepreneurs face can become overwhelming.
That being said, here are some additional pieces of advice
for those eager to embark on their entrepreneurial journey:
*Passion and Purpose: Ensure that your startup idea is
something you're genuinely passionate about and has a clear
purpose. This passion will keep you motivated and help you
overcome obstacles.
*Research and Planning: Conduct thorough research on
your target market, competition, and industry trends.
Develop a comprehensive business plan that outlines your
goals, strategies, and a roadmap to success.
*Networking: Build a strong network of mentors, peers,
and industry experts who can provide guidance, advice, and
resources. Networking can open doors to potential partner-
ships, clients, and investors.
*Adaptability and Resilience: Embrace change and be
prepared to pivot when necessary. The startup landscape is
dynamic, and adapting to new situations is vital for long-
term success.
*Financial Management: Clearly understand your
financial needs and maintain a frugal mindset. Proper
budgeting and financial planning will help ensure your
business remains sustainable and can weather any
unexpected challenges.
*Team Building: Surround yourself with talented individu-
als who share your vision and complement your skillset. A
strong team is the backbone of any successful startup.
*Continuous Learning: Stay informed about industry
developments and be willing to learn from your mistakes.
The most successful entrepreneurs embrace a growth
mindset and are open to personal and professional develop-
ment.
In conclusion, while family support is an essential aspect of
a successful entrepreneurial journey, it's also crucial to
cultivate passion, resilience, and a willingness to learn. By
combining these elements, you'll be well-equipped to
navigate the exciting and challenging world of startups.
Future Momentum of Educational Innovation and
Excellence
On envisioning scaling brand Infinity Learn’s operations
and offerings in the future, Ujjwal divulges that their
strategy is centred around three key approaches: expanding
into Tie-2 and Tier-3 cities, embracing a hybrid model, and
establishing partnerships with educational institutions.
~Expanding into Tier-2 and Tier-3 Cities: “We believe
that there is immense untapped potential in Tier-2 and Tier-
3 cities, where access to quality education and resources
may be limited. By extending our reach to these regions, we
aim to bridge the gap and provide equal opportunities for
learners, regardless of their geographical location.
~Embracing a Hybrid Model: “We recognize that a one-
size-fits-all approach is unsuitable for today's diverse
learning needs. That's why we plan to adopt a hybrid model
combining the best online and offline learning experiences.
This approach will enable us to cater to a broader range of
learners, offering the flexibility of online learning along
with the personal touch and community aspect of traditional
classrooms.”
~Opening Centres and Tying Up with Schools: “To
further strengthen our presence and impact, we will open
dedicated learning centres and forge strategic partnerships
with schools. These collaborations will allow us to integrate
our offerings seamlessly into existing educational
ecosystems, providing students access to our cutting-edge
resources and expertise.”
By implementing this three-pronged strategy, they aim to
scale brand Infinity effectively and sustainably, making a
tangible difference in the lives of learners across the
country. “We are committed to continuously refining our
offerings and adapting to the evolving needs of our
audience, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of
educational innovation and excellence,” he concludes.
ndia's startup ecosystem has experienced significant
Igrowth in recent years, fuelled by a combination of
technological advancements, government initiatives,
and a thriving entrepreneurial spirit.
The country is now home to a vibrant community of
startups across various sectors, attracting the attention of
investors and generating employment opportunities.
However, amidst the opportunities, several challenges
persist, which need to be addressed to ensure the sustained
growth and success of India's startup ecosystem.
While going into the second half of the year, it is important
to notice what lays ahead for these early boomers in terms
of future opportunities and challenges. Let us have a
comprehensive look.
Opportunities for Indian Startup Ecosystem

of over 1.3 billion people, India presents a vast domestic

market for startups to tap into. The rising middle class and
increasing digital adoption offer immense opportunities for
innovative products and services.
*Digital Transformation: The rapid digital transformation
taking place in India has opened up new avenues for
startups. The widespread availability of affordable
smartphones and internet connectivity has created a
conducive environment for tech-based solutions, such as e-
commerce, fintech, EdTech, and Health-Tech.
*Government Support: The Indian government has
launched several initiatives to promote entrepreneurship
and support startups. Programs like "Startup India" provide
funding, mentorship, and regulatory support, creating a
favourable environment for budding entrepreneurs.
*Access to Capital: India has witnessed a surge in venture
capital and private equity investments in startups. Both
domestic and international investors are increasingly
interested in funding promising startups, providing access
to capital for scaling operations and innovation.
*Technological Advancements: India has a strong pool of
technical talent, and advancements in emerging
technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data
analytics have the potential to drive innovation and create
new business opportunities.
*Rising Consumer Spending: The increasing disposable
income and changing consumer preferences present
opportunities for startups to cater to the growing demand
for unique and personalized products and services.
*Collaborative Ecosystem: India's startup ecosystem is
characterized by a collaborative culture, where startups,
incubators, accelerators, and industry experts come together
to share knowledge, resources, and experiences. This
ecosystem encourages innovation and fosters a supportive
network for startups to thrive.
*Global Market Expansion: Successful startups in India
have the potential to expand their operations globally. With
advancements in technology and access to international
markets, startups can scale their businesses beyond the
Indian borders and tap into a global customer base.
Challenges to the Startup Ecosystem of the Country
~Regulatory Environment: Despite government
initiatives, startups often face complex regulatory
frameworks, bureaucratic hurdles, and compliance issues.
Streamlining regulations and reducing red tape can
encourage entrepreneurship and foster a more business-
friendly environment.
~Access to Skilled Talent: While India boasts a large talent
pool, startups often struggle to find skilled professionals
with the right expertise. Bridging the skills gap through
industry-academia collaborations and promoting specialized
training programs can address this challenge.
~Infrastructure Bottlenecks: Inadequate physical and
digital infrastructure, particularly in remote areas, can
hinder startup growth. Investments in infrastructure
development, including affordable high-speed internet,
logistics networks, and co-working spaces, can unlock the
full potential of startups.
~Market Competition: India's startup ecosystem is highly
competitive, with startups vying for market share and
customer attention. Startups must differentiate themselves
through innovation, customer-centric approaches, and
strategic partnerships to succeed in this competitive
landscape.
~Funding Challenges: While access to capital has
improved, early-stage startups often struggle to secure
funding. Encouraging angel investments, promoting
alternative funding sources like crowdfunding, and
facilitating easier access to credit can address this
challenge.
~Intellectual Property Protection: Intellectual property
rights protection and enforcement can be a challenge for
startups in India. Strengthening legal frameworks and
ensuring effective protection of intellectual property rights
can provide startups with the confidence to innovate and
safeguard their inventions and creations.
~Cultural Mindset and Risk Aversion: While
entrepreneurship is gaining acceptance, the cultural mindset
in India often favours traditional career paths and stability.
Encouraging a culture that embraces risk-taking, failure,
and learning from mistakes can nurture a thriving startup
ecosystem.
~Talent Retention and Brain Drain: Startups face stiff
competition from established companies and global tech
giants when it comes to attracting and retaining skilled
talent. Measures to retain talent, such as offering
competitive compensation, flexible work environments, and
growth opportunities, are essential for startups to build
strong teams.
~Market Volatility and Economic Uncertainty: India's
market can be volatile, influenced by factors such as policy
changes, global economic conditions, and regulatory shifts.
Startups need to be adaptable and agile in navigating these
uncertainties, diversifying their revenue streams, and
building sustainable business models.
India's emerging startup ecosystem holds immense promise,
with a conducive market, government support, and a
thriving entrepreneurial spirit. With a supportive
government, a growing digital market, and technological
advancements, startups have the potential to drive
innovation, economic growth, and job creation.
However, addressing challenges related to regulations,
talent, infrastructure, competition, and funding will be
crucial for nurturing and sustaining this ecosystem.
Continued collaboration between stakeholders, policy
reforms, and investments in infrastructure and skill
development are vital to fostering a robust and inclusive
startup ecosystem that fuels India's journey towards
becoming a global innovation hub.

hen you first hold your bundle of joy in your
Whands, you automatically make a vow in your
heart to provide everything of the most
premium and supreme quality to the shining stars of your
eyes. From then on, you do everything you can to keep your
promise, and whenever the growing baby requires anything,
you make certain that it is of branded quality, meets
international standards, and is completely safe, hygienic,
and comfortable for the baby and, later, the rapidly growing
child, who is turning into a lovely kid.
And if you’re a mother like Chandni Agarwal, what will
you do if you can’t find the premium clothing collection
and designer kids’ wear you’re looking for, for your babies,
children, and kids?
Ÿ Chandni not only invented Little Tags and Little Tags
Luxury––two globally renowned brands–– but also
being a CMD, bagged awards like –
Ÿ Business Iconic (2022),
Ÿ Corporate Review (2022),
Ÿ Femina (2021),
Ÿ Fortune 500 India (2021),
Ÿ SheThePeople-Digital Woman Award (2021),
Ÿ The Business Connect India (2020),
Ÿ Forbes India (2020),
Ÿ The Economic Times (2019), and several others.
The Finest Range for Fashionistas
Little Tags was launched in 2017 and has been a unique
eCommerce platform for kids’ clothing, bringing branded,
high-quality kids and clothing under a single roof. “Little
Tags lets you shop a wide range of premium products for
kids without any hassle.
We are an E-Commerce multi-label brand that deals in the
finest range of kidswear, footwear, kid's essentials, toys,
accessories, and much more,” shares Chandni.
Little Tags is the host of popular brands such as Rohit Bal,
Payal Singhal, Samant Chauhan, Pallavi Mohan, Shivan
and Narresh, Sahil Aneja, Siddharth Tytler, Krishna Mehta,
Preeti S Kapoor, and many more on its
website––www.littletags.com––with over 300+ designer
brands under its umbrella.
From creating Little Tags which excels in traditional wear
for children to Little Tags Luxury which is the home of 35+
luxury brands. The exquisiteness of the kid’s collection for
apparel and accessories at the Little Tags Luxury can be
comprehended by the line of international brands like Self
Portrait, Moschino, Balmain, Diesel, Elie Saab, Aigner,
Bugatti, Dsquared2, Emilio Pucci, Marc Jacobs, Philipp
Plein, Stella McCartney Kids, Boss and many other.
Consequently, the availability of kid’s wear from interna-
tional brands adds more to the extensiveness of the
premium line of kid’s clothing.
The Passionate Saga of a Dream Luxury Brand
Sharing her inspiration behind venturing into the business
arena, she says that she has been passionate about her
dreams which channelled her expertise to transform an idea
born out of a need into a successful business idea that's
making its mark big in the market today. She adds, “I,
being a mother, an entrepreneur, and a dream-maker, started
my journey after the birth of my first child. I found my
calling only after I became a mother. With a set of new
responsibilities added to my life, I took a road that’s less
travelled or even imagined by many. Along with taking care
of my little one as well as my family, I started this venture
with a relentless and rigorous passion. With dreams in my
heart and a belief in myself, I put my love for luxury and
art into my venture, Little Tags and it’s a name that’s
known by parents across the globe for its uniqueness
and refined collection for kids today.”
Nevertheless, initially, the ride was riddled with
many bumps. She faced several challenges which
she surmounted ensuring Little Tags’ success rate
reached greater heights. She says that one of the
biggest challenges faced was during the com-
mencement of Little Tags and Little Tags Luxury,
as there had been a talk among the people that

luxury kids wear won’t entice parents to invest in high-end
kids’ fashion. “Though, I believe that parents are finding it
hard to find premium clothing collections or designer kids
wear in India, just like I found it difficult after my child’s
birth.”
As a surprise, there had been an enormous number of
people desiring a reliable store to find a premium line of
clothing exclusively for kids. “Today, we are catering to the
needs of thousands of customers every day who have been
exclusively looking for designer clothes and apparel from
international brands.”
“With every new addition in the range from an elite brand
to a designer label, we are overcoming every challenge that
we have been facing during the creation of the website.” It
was basically the firm and strong conviction to create an
online store with a specific category of kid’s wear that
helped to overcome every challenge.
Perfecting the Quality Benchmarks
When asked what leadership skills, values, and qualities she
thinks her clients admire most in her and her company,
Chandni says that Little Tags and Little Tags Luxury work
with Blue ocean strategy and thus are Pioneer in Luxury
Kids Clothing and have a huge variety of Kids Wear and
Accessories.
“Another major achievement we have is our ‘Six Sigma
Quality Standards–No Error in Dispatch and Delivery.”
“We are ahead of time with our ‘Customer Care Services’
and belief in keeping our customers complacent.”
“We are a Fast fashion brand who always serves Extrava-
gant New Styles which sell like hot cakes. Functionality
and practicality are major inspirations and we focus on
having kids’ friendly silhouettes and fabrics.”
“We made couture for kids possible in India. We have
licensed some famous characters like Dora, Garfield, and
SpongeBob SquarePants which have a great affinity and are
quite popular among children.”
According to her, they have achieved skyrocketing
appreciation in the kid’s apparel market which has set a
benchmark for their competitors. Today, Little Tags is a go-
to name for parents across the world whether they want to
shop for casual wear, party wear, vacation supplies,
accessories for kids’ everyday essentials, it’s all that you
get, and much more.
The Only Branded Indian Kids Couture
She furthers that the main USPs that sets Little Tags apart
are the high quality, uniqueness as well as all-under-one-
roof availability of all-things-kids. “Our brand believes in
delivering the highest quality products to the customers and
makes sure the products reach the consumers after appro-
priate quality checks and safety measures.” Little Tags
houses over 300+ brands from around the world which
makes it the most sought-after choice for parents to shop for
their kids.
“Also Stylish, superior, comfortable, and high-quality kids
wear has been the forte of our brand.” With blingy and
synthetic stuff available in the market, Little Tags filled this
gap with an exquisite range of kidswear, footwear, and
accessories from across the globe to Indian households!
The idea to bring big brands from around the world, all
under one roof made the shopping experience for parents a
luxurious, accessible, and satisfying affair. “From adding
brands offering unique products to expanding our business
with our eight-ten in-house labels, we have tried and
achieved a lot in such a short span of time in the industry,”
says Chandni.
As an experienced professional, in her advice to the
budding aspirants willing to enter the business world, she
says, “I believe I’ve been successful in setting an example
that there’s no specific age or time to dream and make
them come true; there's no such thing as a perfect
business plan but only hard work, passion and a belief in
oneself can take you there!”
The Disruptive Risk-taking Innovator
On envisioning Little Tags’ operations with emerging
technologies and automated tools revolutionizing the
business world by enabling innovations, Chandni reveals
that they as a brand have applied new technologies to
expand their platforms during unprecedented times.
“There’s never been a dull moment amidst all that I have
received from this business. Hence, I consider myself a
disruptor, risk-taker, and innovator!”
After COVID they’ve seen a rise in the popularity of online
platforms. Little Tags and Little Tags Luxury kept growing
because more and more people started getting acquainted

with the brand. Their efforts to promote the brand online
bore fruit because there was an immense amount of traffic
across both platforms.
She furthers, “We continue to be aggressive with our digital
promotions and due to our existing online presence, more
people started recognizing the brand and started shopping
with the luxury of their homes,” finally concluding, “Our
business has grown rapidly in the past years and we hope
to keep doing more in the future. It’s the hard work of our
team that pulled it off with a proper plan and guidelines.”

n the modern industrial era, startups have emerged as
Ipowerful drivers of innovation and change. These agile
and disruptive companies are challenging traditional
business models, transforming industries, and redefining the
way we live, work, and interact.
Through their unique approaches, successful startups shape
the future and leave an indelible mark on the global
economy. This article explores how these startups redefine
the modern industrial era and the key factors contributing to
their success.
Embracing Technology and Digital Transformation
Successful startups are leveraging technology to drive
transformative change across industries. From artificial
intelligence and machine learning to blockchain and the
Internet of Things, these startups harness emerging
technologies to create innovative products, streamline
operations, and deliver enhanced customer experiences.
They are disrupting established sectors such as finance,
healthcare, transportation, and retail, paving the way for a
digitally-driven future.
How Successful Startups
areRedefining the
Modern IndustrialEra?
www.ciolookindia.com June | 2023
(26)
Customer-centric Approaches
Startups are redefining the industrial era by prioritizing
customer-centricity. By deeply understanding their target
audience and pain points, successful startups develop
products and services tailored to meet specific needs. They
focus on delivering seamless user experiences, personaliza-
tion, and convenience, essential in today's fast-paced and
connected world.
Agility and Adaptability
Unlike traditional industrial giants, startups can quickly
adapt to changing market dynamics. They have a nimble
organizational structure and can respond rapidly to
customer feedback, market trends, and emerging opportuni-
ties. Startups embrace a culture of experimentation,
learning from failures, and iterating their products and
services to stay ahead of the curve.
Disrupting Established Industries
Startups are challenging the status quo and disrupting long-
established industries. They offer alternative, more efficient,
Changing Norms

cost-effective, and sustainable solutions. These disruptive
startups are reshaping transportation with ridesharing
platforms, revolutionizing accommodation with home-
sharing services, and transforming energy markets with
renewable energy solutions. By introducing new business
models and technologies, startups are changing the
competitive landscape and forcing established players to
innovate.
Collaborative and Open Ecosystems
Successful startups thrive in collaborative and open
ecosystems. They actively seek partnerships with industry
incumbents, academic institutions, and government bodies.
Startups understand the power of collaboration in driving
innovation, sharing resources, and accessing new markets.
By forging strategic alliances, startups can leverage the
expertise and networks of established players while
bringing fresh perspectives and disruptive ideas to the table.
Empowering Entrepreneurship
Startups are fostering a culture of entrepreneurship and
inspiring a new generation of innovators. They create
opportunities for individuals to pursue their ideas, take
risks, and build their businesses. The success stories of
startups serve as a source of inspiration, encouraging
aspiring entrepreneurs to think big and challenge traditional
norms.
Democratizing Access
Startups are democratizing access to products, services, and
information once limited to a privileged few. Through
innovative business models, they are making previously
expensive or inaccessible goods and services more
affordable and widely available. Startups in the healthcare,
education, and finance sectors are breaking down barriers
and ensuring that essential services reach underserved
populations.
Sustainable Practices
Many successful startups prioritize sustainability and
incorporate environmentally friendly practices into their
operations. From renewable energy solutions to eco-
friendly products and services, these startups are driving the
transition towards a more sustainable industrial era. By
championing sustainability, startups influence consumer
behaviour, raise awareness about environmental issues, and
inspire other businesses to adopt eco-conscious practices.
Job Creation and Economic Growth
Startups are significant contributors to job creation and
economic growth. As they expand, startups require a skilled
workforce, creating employment opportunities and driving
economic development. Startups also attract investments
and venture capital, injecting capital into the economy and
fostering innovation in various sectors.
Global Connectivity and Market Reach
The modern industrial era is marked by global connectivity
and the ability to reach a vast audience.
Startups leverage digital platforms and technology to scale
their businesses and enter international markets. E-
commerce, online marketplaces, and digital marketing
enable startups to overcome geographical boundaries and
establish a global presence. This connectivity opens up new
growth opportunities and allows startups to tap into a
worldwide customer base.
Disintermediation and Direct Engagement
Startups are disrupting traditional supply chains and
eliminating intermediaries. Startups enable direct engage-
ment between producers and consumers through direct-to-
consumer models and peer-to-peer platforms. This disinter-
mediation empowers both sides by eliminating inefficien-
cies, reducing costs, and fostering transparent and personal-
ized interactions.
Successful startups often have a significant cultural and
social impact. They shape societal trends, influence
consumer behaviours, and address social challenges. They
are redefining the modern industrial era by embracing
technology, adopting customer-centric approaches, and
disrupting established industries. Their agility, adaptability,
and collaboration enable them to drive innovation and
create new opportunities in the global economy.
As startups continue to push boundaries and challenge
traditional models, they play a pivotal role in shaping the
future, driving economic growth, and improving the lives of
people around the world. The impact of these startups
extends far beyond their industries, signalling a paradigm
shift in how businesses operate and how innovation is
cultivated in the modern industrial era.

Connecting Learners to Mentors for Becoming Perfectly Skilled
India's 10 Most Booming Start-ups to Watch-2023

learning mind is insatiable for knowledge. Finding
Aanswers to the never-ending questions that erupt in
the mind's barren land is what wisdom entails.
Individuals seeking answers need help finding or learning
all solutions. They require teachers or guides with subject
knowledge and more experience. These mentors are
plentiful in today's technologically advanced era.
However, many of these individuals who have a strong
desire to learn new skills find it difficult to find time,
organize their schedules, or invest a significant portion of
their earnings into such endeavors and connect with their
ideal mentors because they are preoccupied with earning a
living for themselves and their families.
Furthermore, there are significant requirements in the
Indian education system for students to be prepared with
industry-ready skills. A significant gap has been discovered
between the number of skilled professionals required by the
industry and the number of experienced professionals
available.
Recognizing the critical need to bridge this gap and connect
learning minds to skills mentors who can help these
knowledge seekers achieve their personal and professional
goals, SkillsRediscovery has created an online platform
that is the perfect solution. It connects you with the best
online trainers in India and abroad to learn from them live
and online.
This pioneering company's Co-founder, Lokesh
Maheshwari, says that the vast divide between formal
education, or hunger for skill-based learning and its
availability, has inspired him to launch SkillsRediscovery to
revamp our entire educational paradigm.
We Connect Learners to the Right Skills and Mentors
He recalls, “When I worked for Amazon in 2011, or while
also finishing my degree and learning a foreign language, I
noticed a significant gap between natural abilities and
formal education.”
According to him, everyone knows what they want to do
after 12th grade: BA, BCom, BTech, or any other degree
subject. However, he adds that there is no one to advise or
properly guide or mentor those students on what they
should do additional than simply getting a formal degree;
he believes that individual passion is broader than
traditional education. “Whomever you seek counsel with,
most will recommend subjects for your higher education.
Nonetheless, they won't emphasize the idea of pursuing
your passion in the subject you have talent and interest in,”
he says.
Yet, Lokesh needed more financial wherewithal to pursue
and commercialize this idea. After four years, he moved to
Wipro Ltd in the financial services domain. Wipro assisted
him in pursuing his other small dream of pursuing an MBA,
and he felt compelled to act on the idea that had been
gnawing in his mind for years throughout his MBA degree.
Then, in 2018, Lokesh started his firm's functioning with
the Micro Franchise initiative while working full time and
participating in various international business projects. And,
since he was required to work nine to ten hours per day as a
corporate employee, it made him run his business difficult.
After balancing his office and business, he eventually left
his corporate job just before the lockdown in 2020,
allowing him to focus more on his firm. “After a while, I
met the other Co-founder, Prof Dr. Rishi Aacharya, which
resulted in the formation of SkillsRediscovery.”
Experts to Teach You the Best of Any Skill
And he furthers that today, they are two enthusiasts who
have the vision to redefine the country's education system.
They firmly believe that the time has come when they

stretch their necks and look around at the options to enable
better education for all.
"When we started skillsrediscovery.com, we were the only
two, but now the diaspore of like-minded trainers and
learners are there with us. Our dream is to reach the last
mile student with access to technology but looking for a
good coach," says Lokesh.
And true to his words, with 1000+ online courses available
in 20+ languages, 60 certified systems, 55K monthly
visitors, and 2240 students enrolled, SkillsRediscovery is
fast emerging as the most significant breakthrough of online
skills-based education in the continent. SkillsRediscovery
is also helping colleges and corporates to upskill their
employees so that they can be more productive and relative
to the current demand of the industry and employers can
also be benefitted by saving the cost of overall operation by
upgrading their manpower and retention of the workforce.
Talking about their recent accomplishment of receiving the
"The Best EdTech Startup of the Year" by Award
'TopRoboLab' for SkillsRediscovery in 2021, Lokesh
says that even though other companies have been operating
in this field for many years, they have been recognized and
rewarded for their unique services. “We are working to
provide certain value-added services to make a difference
in society, and we were overjoyed when it was recognized.
This honor inspired us to work harder and provide more
skill-based services that the market would value.”
Highlighting their many services, he says they include
offline on-campus classes, online live classes in Coding,
Art, Animation, Business Skills, Finance, Meditation, and
Languages. Further,
Ÿ You can learn at ease and comfort–You can find the
trainers which suit your timing and learn directly from
your home.
Ÿ Personalized learning experience–With a limited
number of learners, you get personal attention in
classes.
Ÿ Recording of the class for later reference–All the class
recordings are available after the classes.
Being Local, Teaching Global
SkillsRediscovery also helps Institutions to teach globally.
"SkillsRediscovery onboards colleges/universities to bring
out your true potential. Our theme is Be Local–Teach
Global," informs Lokesh.
According to Lokesh, the top skills needed by employers in
the modern workplace include Problem-Solving – learning
the art of solutions; Lifestyle Skills – excellent grooming
skills for you, Communication Skills – win the world with
your talks; Digital Marketing – the new era of the twenty-
first century, Business Skills – needed by every
entrepreneur, IT Skills – raise your income bar, Foreign
Language Skills – remove the boundaries and connecting
the world.
Talking about their recent accomplishment, Lokesh
informed that they received the "The Best EdTech Startup
of the Year" award by 'TopRoboLab' for
SkillsRediscovery in 2021.
On envisioning the future of the brand SkillsRediscovery,
Lokesh reveals that skillsrediscovery.com will be the
biggest skills-based education ecosystem in Asia in which
the future of students, learners, and trainers will thrive due
to an integrated and Symbiotic Mutualistic Relationship
among the stakeholders.
“We are a platform where anyone who has a mastery in any
skill can join us as a coach. Students and Learners who
want to learn any new skill can take advantage of this
platform and learn from these experts. We are a meeting
place for them in cyberspace.” he says.
Sharing more, he adds that recently, SkillsRediscovery
conducted a workshop on Introduction to Foreign
Languages (German & Japanese) in IMS Noida on
22/Mar/2023 and another workshop in GL Bajaj Institute of
Management, Greater Noida on Scope & Benefits of
Japanese Language on 22/Mar/2023. “There we addressed
students as well as faculty members about the importance
of foreign languages and how a student can add an edge in
his resume and widen the career opportunities.”
SkillsRediscovery signed MoU with IMS Noida, as a Skill-
Partner and is starting a pilot project in IMS Noida. "We
are going to teach German and Japanese Languages to
their students and also running a Personality
Development program for the students wherein we will
conduct many workshops to groom their students and make
them more ready for placements," Lokesh concludes.

  • 12. Although education has always helped us evolve, the educational system remained conventionally rigid, resistant to change, and confined to physical classrooms. It had been the case before arrived global pandemic compelling every one of us to change our entire outlook on everything, especially the way we impart knowledge to our future generations. Thanks to swift digitalization and our timely adoption of advanced technologies, we learned anew that change is the only constant and that the journey of learning is a never- ending endeavour. Our ancient philosophy teaches us that we are but a thirsty mind in the cosmic ocean of eternal wisdom; today, thousands of learning-hungry minds are guided profoundly via Infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya. Revealing their focus on building the unicorn EdTech in India and enhancing learner performance through their digital talent and new-age technologies, Ujjwal Singh, President and CEO, says, “At Infinity Learn, we believe in getting substantially more for less, optimizing and multiply- ing the results of our key success factors with optimal efforts.” Gaining Optimum Wisdom He furthers that they empower learners to excel and educators to elevate their teaching. Their goal is to encour- age learners to surpass their expectations and inspire teachers to improve continually. “In pursuing this ambition, we focus on generating outcomes tailored to each learner's unique goals rather than striving for competition. We do not, as a principal, believe in competing with anyone,” he insists. Based on these exceptionally distinctive principles, Infinity Learn has ~Achieved ATAW (Anytime, anywhere product) available on Android Network, iOS, and Web along with offline access for learning videos. ~Launched new features to enhance the learning journey in an engaging manner, including CYOT (Create your Own test), Error test, recommended videos, video solutions, Games, etc. ~Launched Adaptive Learning such as Knowledge Graph, Recommendation engine, Goal Setting, Dynamic Question paper, Doubt Resolution System, etc. Expansion/Launch of new verticals/BUs: Alongside selling to consumers directly through the online portal (Outside school), Ujjwal and his team Infinity have started to tap learners ‘Inside School’ through the launch of ‘Infinity School.’ “We have made inroads into 100+ schools in the last 12 months through our curricular and co- curricular offerings serving learners across the Grades 1-12, thus providing a one-stop solution to enable students in these school’s crack ranks in the prestigious exams like JEE/NEET,” says Ujjwal who is a tech enthusiast, innova- tor, strong believer in modernizing education and breaking the barriers of conventional education systems. He stands for the values of ideation, innovation, constant improve- ment, and inclusivity. The Brightest Illuminating Star Currently, he heads Infinity Learn, an outcome-based learning EdTech start-up by the Sri Chaitanya Group. At the company’s helm, Ujjwal manages the fast-growing brand, ensuring its mission and vision are successfully imple- mented across the operations. With his 25 years of experience in education, he has successfully delivered business value through frugal product development with two patents filed in his name. Before Infinity Learn, he was associated with Pearson, where he successfully built businesses to scale from scratch and implemented education programmes across geogra- phies. He has served in leading roles like Chief Product Officer and Vice President at Pearson. So far, he has created multiple innovative digital-first education products that have received tremendous positive customer responses. He believes in being a better self each day, encourages and supports his teams to outdo themselves consistently, and pushes them to the highest level of self-actualization. An empathetic leader, a design thinker, a serial entrepreneur, an inclusivity advocate, a customer-centric product developer, and an IDEO-certified rapid prototyper, Ujjwal dons several hats with ease. He brings an experience of over two decades in the education industry. His career straddles management and product development in equal stead, and he always enjoys a challenge, especially if it is time-bound. Through Infinity Learn, he aspires to create an immersive and measurable learning system and achieve physical classrooms’ engagement levels in a digital setting –

  • 14. A New Age Platform for a New Age Learner Ujjwal is also a sports enthusiast and loves binge-reading and watching shows in varied genres. Sharing their inspiration behind venturing into the EdTech niche, he says that Infinity Learn aims to carry Sri Chaitanya’s legacy in the digital learning and teaching space and create a powerful impact in every child’s life. Infinity Learn is a combination of traditional wisdom and technology that creates a system of learning that is engaging and measur- able. As an experienced leader, Ujjwal shares his opinion on how adopting modern technologies like AI and ML impacts the startup space and how Inifnity Learn adapts to the change. He says, “I'm inspired by visionaries like Sam Altman and Sal Khan, who have already begun harnessing the power of AI and ML in the EdTech space.” Their pioneering work demonstrates the transformative potential of these technolo- gies to reshape education, empower learners, and drive innovative solutions in the startup ecosystem. The future of EdTech lies in embracing and adapting to this change, unlocking boundless opportunities for growth and impact. According to him, they face several challenges in the current industry scenario, including rapidly evolving technology, fierce competition, and the need to continu- ously innovate to stay ahead. However, amidst these challenges, their focus on building a sustainable business, adopting frugal practices, and staying true to their purpose of empowering learners remains unwavering. Surmounting Obstacles To overcome these challenges, they prioritize resource optimization and constantly seek creative ways to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions. By embracing a frugal mindset, they are better equipped to adapt and respond to market shifts without compromising their commitment to our learners. Moreover, they invest heavily in research and development to stay at the forefront of technological advancements, such as AI and ML, which allows them to enhance and personal- ize the learning experience. By doing so, they can better cater to the diverse needs of their learners and maintain a competitive edge in the market. “Above all, we stay true to our mission of empowering learners by fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. We actively listen to feedback from our users, collaborate with experts, and forge strategic partner- ships to ensure that we're always aligned with the needs of our learners and the broader educational landscape.” In summary, by building a sustainable and frugal business, staying true to their purpose, and embracing innovation, Ujjwal and Team Infinity continue to overcome industry challenges and drive their firm towards a brighter future for their learners and the world at large. Fostering EdTech-powered Revolution Ujjwal firmly believes that the startup ecosystem is crucial today as it drives innovation, fosters economic growth, and creates new opportunities across various sectors. The role of startups in pushing the boundaries of technology, disrupting traditional industries, and solving complex problems cannot be overstated. In particular, integrating AI into the education sector represents one of the most significant historical moments that humankind is poised to witness. “In the next six months, we can expect to see ground-breaking advance- ments in EdTech, as AI-powered solutions revolutionize the way we approach learning and teaching.” The fusion of AI with education will enable highly personalized learning experiences, adaptive content, and real-time feedback, allowing educators to tailor their approaches to each student's unique needs. Furthermore, AI-powered analytics will help identify areas for improve-

Words for the Wise He advises budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture into the startup space to acknowledge the importance of having a solid support system. Family support is indeed essential, as it provides emotional and mental stability during the inevitable ups and downs of the entrepreneurial journey. Without a strong foundation of support, the challenges entrepreneurs face can become overwhelming. That being said, here are some additional pieces of advice for those eager to embark on their entrepreneurial journey: *Passion and Purpose: Ensure that your startup idea is something you're genuinely passionate about and has a clear purpose. This passion will keep you motivated and help you overcome obstacles. *Research and Planning: Conduct thorough research on your target market, competition, and industry trends. Develop a comprehensive business plan that outlines your goals, strategies, and a roadmap to success. *Networking: Build a strong network of mentors, peers, and industry experts who can provide guidance, advice, and resources. Networking can open doors to potential partner- ships, clients, and investors. *Adaptability and Resilience: Embrace change and be prepared to pivot when necessary. The startup landscape is dynamic, and adapting to new situations is vital for long- term success. *Financial Management: Clearly understand your financial needs and maintain a frugal mindset. Proper budgeting and financial planning will help ensure your business remains sustainable and can weather any unexpected challenges. *Team Building: Surround yourself with talented individu- als who share your vision and complement your skillset. A strong team is the backbone of any successful startup. *Continuous Learning: Stay informed about industry developments and be willing to learn from your mistakes. The most successful entrepreneurs embrace a growth mindset and are open to personal and professional develop- ment. In conclusion, while family support is an essential aspect of a successful entrepreneurial journey, it's also crucial to cultivate passion, resilience, and a willingness to learn. By combining these elements, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the exciting and challenging world of startups. Future Momentum of Educational Innovation and Excellence On envisioning scaling brand Infinity Learn’s operations and offerings in the future, Ujjwal divulges that their strategy is centred around three key approaches: expanding into Tie-2 and Tier-3 cities, embracing a hybrid model, and establishing partnerships with educational institutions. ~Expanding into Tier-2 and Tier-3 Cities: “We believe that there is immense untapped potential in Tier-2 and Tier- 3 cities, where access to quality education and resources may be limited. By extending our reach to these regions, we aim to bridge the gap and provide equal opportunities for learners, regardless of their geographical location. ~Embracing a Hybrid Model: “We recognize that a one- size-fits-all approach is unsuitable for today's diverse learning needs. That's why we plan to adopt a hybrid model combining the best online and offline learning experiences. This approach will enable us to cater to a broader range of learners, offering the flexibility of online learning along with the personal touch and community aspect of traditional classrooms.” ~Opening Centres and Tying Up with Schools: “To further strengthen our presence and impact, we will open dedicated learning centres and forge strategic partnerships with schools. These collaborations will allow us to integrate our offerings seamlessly into existing educational ecosystems, providing students access to our cutting-edge resources and expertise.” By implementing this three-pronged strategy, they aim to scale brand Infinity effectively and sustainably, making a tangible difference in the lives of learners across the country. “We are committed to continuously refining our offerings and adapting to the evolving needs of our audience, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of educational innovation and excellence,” he concludes.

The country is now home to a vibrant community of startups across various sectors, attracting the attention of investors and generating employment opportunities. However, amidst the opportunities, several challenges persist, which need to be addressed to ensure the sustained growth and success of India's startup ecosystem. While going into the second half of the year, it is important to notice what lays ahead for these early boomers in terms of future opportunities and challenges. Let us have a comprehensive look. Opportunities for Indian Startup Ecosystem *Large and Growing Domestic Market: With a population of over 1.3 billion people, India presents a vast domestic Opportunities and Opportunities and for the Emerging Startup in India Ecosystem www.ciolookindia.com June | 2023 (14)
  • 17. www.ciolookindia.com June | 2023 (15) Novel View market for startups to tap into. The rising middle class and increasing digital adoption offer immense opportunities for innovative products and services. *Digital Transformation: The rapid digital transformation taking place in India has opened up new avenues for startups. The widespread availability of affordable smartphones and internet connectivity has created a conducive environment for tech-based solutions, such as e- commerce, fintech, EdTech, and Health-Tech. *Government Support: The Indian government has launched several initiatives to promote entrepreneurship and support startups. Programs like "Startup India" provide funding, mentorship, and regulatory support, creating a favourable environment for budding entrepreneurs. *Access to Capital: India has witnessed a surge in venture capital and private equity investments in startups. Both domestic and international investors are increasingly interested in funding promising startups, providing access to capital for scaling operations and innovation.
  • 18. *Technological Advancements: India has a strong pool of technical talent, and advancements in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data analytics have the potential to drive innovation and create new business opportunities. *Rising Consumer Spending: The increasing disposable income and changing consumer preferences present opportunities for startups to cater to the growing demand for unique and personalized products and services. *Collaborative Ecosystem: India's startup ecosystem is characterized by a collaborative culture, where startups, incubators, accelerators, and industry experts come together to share knowledge, resources, and experiences. This ecosystem encourages innovation and fosters a supportive network for startups to thrive. *Global Market Expansion: Successful startups in India have the potential to expand their operations globally. With advancements in technology and access to international markets, startups can scale their businesses beyond the Indian borders and tap into a global customer base. Challenges to the Startup Ecosystem of the Country ~Regulatory Environment: Despite government initiatives, startups often face complex regulatory frameworks, bureaucratic hurdles, and compliance issues. Streamlining regulations and reducing red tape can encourage entrepreneurship and foster a more business- friendly environment. ~Access to Skilled Talent: While India boasts a large talent pool, startups often struggle to find skilled professionals with the right expertise. Bridging the skills gap through industry-academia collaborations and promoting specialized training programs can address this challenge. ~Infrastructure Bottlenecks: Inadequate physical and digital infrastructure, particularly in remote areas, can hinder startup growth. Investments in infrastructure development, including affordable high-speed internet, logistics networks, and co-working spaces, can unlock the full potential of startups. ~Market Competition: India's startup ecosystem is highly competitive, with startups vying for market share and customer attention. Startups must differentiate themselves through innovation, customer-centric approaches, and strategic partnerships to succeed in this competitive landscape. ~Funding Challenges: While access to capital has improved, early-stage startups often struggle to secure funding. Encouraging angel investments, promoting alternative funding sources like crowdfunding, and facilitating easier access to credit can address this challenge. ~Intellectual Property Protection: Intellectual property rights protection and enforcement can be a challenge for startups in India. Strengthening legal frameworks and ensuring effective protection of intellectual property rights can provide startups with the confidence to innovate and safeguard their inventions and creations. ~Cultural Mindset and Risk Aversion: While entrepreneurship is gaining acceptance, the cultural mindset in India often favours traditional career paths and stability. Encouraging a culture that embraces risk-taking, failure, and learning from mistakes can nurture a thriving startup ecosystem. ~Talent Retention and Brain Drain: Startups face stiff competition from established companies and global tech giants when it comes to attracting and retaining skilled talent. Measures to retain talent, such as offering competitive compensation, flexible work environments, and growth opportunities, are essential for startups to build strong teams. ~Market Volatility and Economic Uncertainty: India's market can be volatile, influenced by factors such as policy changes, global economic conditions, and regulatory shifts. Startups need to be adaptable and agile in navigating these uncertainties, diversifying their revenue streams, and building sustainable business models. India's emerging startup ecosystem holds immense promise, with a conducive market, government support, and a thriving entrepreneurial spirit. With a supportive government, a growing digital market, and technological advancements, startups have the potential to drive innovation, economic growth, and job creation. However, addressing challenges related to regulations, talent, infrastructure, competition, and funding will be crucial for nurturing and sustaining this ecosystem. Continued collaboration between stakeholders, policy reforms, and investments in infrastructure and skill development are vital to fostering a robust and inclusive startup ecosystem that fuels India's journey towards becoming a global innovation hub. www.ciolookindia.com June | 2023 (16)

Finding Aanswers to the never-ending questions that erupt in the mind's barren land is what wisdom entails. Individuals seeking answers need help finding or learning all solutions. They require teachers or guides with subject knowledge and more experience. These mentors are plentiful in today's technologically advanced era. However, many of these individuals who have a strong desire to learn new skills find it difficult to find time, organize their schedules, or invest a significant portion of their earnings into such endeavors and connect with their ideal mentors because they are preoccupied with earning a living for themselves and their families. Furthermore, there are significant requirements in the Indian education system for students to be prepared with industry-ready skills. A significant gap has been discovered between the number of skilled professionals required by the industry and the number of experienced professionals available. Recognizing the critical need to bridge this gap and connect learning minds to skills mentors who can help these knowledge seekers achieve their personal and professional goals, SkillsRediscovery has created an online platform that is the perfect solution. It connects you with the best online trainers in India and abroad to learn from them live and online.

We Connect Learners to the Right Skills and Mentors He recalls, “When I worked for Amazon in 2011, or while also finishing my degree and learning a foreign language, I noticed a significant gap between natural abilities and formal education.” According to him, everyone knows what they want to do after 12th grade: BA, BCom, BTech, or any other degree subject. However, he adds that there is no one to advise or properly guide or mentor those students on what they should do additional than simply getting a formal degree; he believes that individual passion is broader than traditional education. “Whomever you seek counsel with, most will recommend subjects for your higher education. Nonetheless, they won't emphasize the idea of pursuing your passion in the subject you have talent and interest in,” he says. Yet, Lokesh needed more financial wherewithal to pursue and commercialize this idea. After four years, he moved to Wipro Ltd in the financial services domain. Wipro assisted him in pursuing his other small dream of pursuing an MBA, and he felt compelled to act on the idea that had been gnawing in his mind for years throughout his MBA degree. Then, in 2018, Lokesh started his firm's functioning with the Micro Franchise initiative while working full time and participating in various international business projects. And, since he was required to work nine to ten hours per day as a corporate employee, it made him run his business difficult. After balancing his office and business, he eventually left his corporate job just before the lockdown in 2020, allowing him to focus more on his firm. “After a while, I met the other Co-founder, Prof Dr. Rishi Aacharya, which resulted in the formation of SkillsRediscovery.” Experts to Teach You the Best of Any Skill And he furthers that today, they are two enthusiasts who have the vision to redefine the country's education system.
