 See I've been teaching since I was in college. So this biotechnology was a very new stream when I was in engineering. So we used to study through research. We didn't have a specialist for every subject back then, especially in India. So we used to have group study modules, research modules and we all used to teach each other. I think I started teaching way back then and the obvious choice was to kind of go abroad after biotech and undergraduate in biotech because you know the scope was all in the US at that point of time, not like today. So I had written most of my exams but at that point in time I had also prepared for GRE with the help of Baiju for math especially because and I started a very different perspective. I never learned math like that before. In fact, I think I fell in love with the subject with mathematics you know back then because I learned it in a very different way. I realized it's all about common sense and in the in the gap from the time I wrote the exam to actually going abroad and completing my post graduation. Baiju asked me to kind of teach in some of the in some of the batches and then I taught the first class I took was for about 100 plus students and the impact it created kind of you know gave me a give me a lot of satisfaction. I really like teaching such a large group of students. I saw the impact it created in their lives. At that point of time it was to get in to a dream job for them to support their family. So I saw that I saw that impact I saw I saw you know the possibility of redefining the way people learn in the future. So I kind of stayed back and I never looked back ever since we've been doing one thing after the other and but we're all core teachers at heart. We're all content creators at heart. We just use technology along the way to take it to many more places. We use technology along the way to make it even better and you know to to make it even more interesting and fun and engaging for students. From the time I first took my class where I had to wear a sari to look you know a little older than what I actually was because I was teaching children just a few years younger than me because they were applying for a job that they really like. I think we've come a really long way. Today we almost teach only to the camera. I'm still a teacher today. I still take classes and but the difference is that at that point in time I could have impacted a few thousand students at a time but today it's millions at a time. So I think that kind of gives you the kick that you need to keep growing again and again and again and on and on and on. In terms of interesting anecdotes I think at every turning point when we've taken big decisions like when we decided that we completely stop our offline classes or offline coaching centers and then completely transition using technology to reset that was a big milestone. It was a big turning point or a big decision but we took it and then we stood by it and you know it happened to be a good one and again in 2015 when we had the learning app which was being launched I mean we took a big bold decision to in our marketing to talk about falling in love with learning versus the noise in the market which is all about toppers and bank holders and coming first in class and all of that. We stood out with the tone of falling in love with learning. I think that's the second big milestone decision which I would like to say that it was a big call to take but then we decided you know what we've always been on the side of the students it makes sense for them to like our product and then use our product right and it cannot be just for the motivated few it has to be learning for everybody it has to be inclusive learning. So that was the second thing and we knew we had done something right because within the first one one and a half months since the app launched we had about two million students who have downloaded the app and we're learning from us. So we knew that this this was something which has a huge potential and they continue to innovate we continue to go deeper and our focus is always on how can we have many more students learn from us how can we remove the barrier of you know of accessibility how can we remove the barrier of quality of learning. Everybody should have access to the same high quality learning because every child deserves that. For the younger age groups which is from K to 12 which is what I speak for I do believe that it has to be a blended model with the best of both the world. So even though you know literally overnight educators schools institutions parents everybody transitioned online overnight we saw a big shift didn't take days or it didn't even take weeks if the days when when schools had to shut down because of the pandemic and I think we've realized that you know it's very very beneficial online learning can a lot of things can happen online which cannot happen offline like students now get a front row seat this this would not happen in an offline classes there's no concept of a back bench right it's it's like this that everybody's on on the same you know the same pedesting so that and and teachers can also use a lot of interactive tools to teach better because technology enables you to teach your students while teaching it and enables you to use a lot of you know interactive 3d interactions to make learning even more impactful engaging and meaningful for students you can have a lot of digital games you can engage the students better so there's so many things that you can do but then there are certain subjects and I always been thinking that like sports and arts which are best taught often are best when when when people are around you and the teachers with the students to help them assess them like you can't you can't teach a child how to hold a brush online right so you need to have certain certain things need to happen in the offline world certain things need to happen in the online world so I think what institutions have can take away through this is that it's possible to have a hybrid model it could have been ruled out before but I think that right now there is a possibility to have a hybrid model where you can combine the best of online and offline world it's quite surprising that a sector as important as impactful as education does not have a hundred billion dollars right so maybe it's because education as an investment takes time to show you don't see results tomorrow this is something which takes time but but there is a lot of interest especially because of the pandemic has put a tech in the spotlight not just in India but across the world people are slowly realizing the benefits and I think a lot of scope also right it's not just about have investor interest so to say but I also think there is a lot of scope to do much more today because most of the stakeholders, sweet parents, teachers, institutions all have moved online transition online they're able to see the benefits of online learning so there is a space for companies to introduce new products that will aid in making learning effective so for example they can help figure out how to help teachers teach better they can figure out how to help students learn better which is what we're kind of doing they can help institutions go online mode seamlessly they can create new formats for reskilling and upscaling so there's so much that can be done there is there is a lot of potential over here on a golden age of teaching and actually come back because of technology
