About Embibe (Get ready to turn the world on its head!) :

- In fact, we are turning Ed-tech on its head! You wonder why we say that. Allow us to explain.

- The segments of Ed-tech are not primary, secondary, test prep and vocational. They can't be when learner success is based on lifelong learning and retention.

- "The new paradigm we are defining is based on the depth of our platform thinking designed to monitoring skill acquisition not just marks! The true distribution for Ed-tech companies is:

A. Simple content aggregators - Distributing content in some UX embedded in some hardware or a transactional play like video conferencing. Consumption onus is on the student. Quality is only as good as the teacher. 99% of Ed-Tech today works like this. It's like selling a book followed in a leading educational institution. People join that place for a better life, books are not valued as much.

B. Personalized adaptive learning providers (PAL): All content backed by and tagged to a uniform taxonomy is used to deliver personalized learning paths for every student using algorithms. The personalization quality depends on the depth of tagging and the horizontal syllabus span the content covers. Fixing non-grade level performance is only possible if you can take every child back to remedy earlier learning deficiencies. Embibe has the deepest tagged content libraries in the world today and the knowledge graph permits extensive horizontal navigation for every child.

C. Learning Outcomes Platforms: This stage is only achieved when enough experimentation has happened at Stage B to know what feedback loops work. This means engaging with a platform alone can improve you. This is the holy grail. THIS is where we operate now."

- Already the OECD Learning Compass 2030, the World Economic Forum and the New Education Policy 2020 for India are talking about the same direction. That is when you know that you are already building the future.
