Bhilwara (Rajasthan) [India], November 25: The Rajasthan based Guinness World Record Holder Ed-Tech start-up Brainywood founded by Dr. Vinod Sharma and Mr. Dhruv Suwalka, is gaining massive popularity in recent time due to their unique teaching methodologies, which helps students to memorise everything and helps them to enjoy the studying in a very stress-free and enjoyable manner.

There has been a three to four times increase in student sign-ups, an indication that students are looking for the platform which truly solves all their practical problems, Dhruv suwalka co-founder said.

Launched the online application in the middle of the pandemic of Feb 2021, Brainywood is India’s Best Innovative Learning Platform which provides complete learning solutions at one place. The app not only reduces the mental stress of students and provides scientific techniques of learning, but also provides various learning courses including Vedic Mathematics, Coding for Kids, Website Development, Language, Personality development, Emotional Intelligence courses to give the complete Holistic development to the Indian students which are missing in the current education scenario. Moreover, Brainywood is also all set to launch the Live classes Academics facility for 6 to 12^th CBSE students in upcoming months. Dhruv added. He mentioned in upcoming years Brainywood app will become the first app of its kind where the student will not only get the conceptual clarity of any particular topic by industry best experts but also will be able to memorise that particular topic instantly, which will prepare them completely for their examination in a most enjoyable manner.

Dr. Vinod Sharma, who is working for the last 14 years to improve memory and reduce mental stress amongst Indian students, said that as per reports, In India, One student commits Suicide in every 55 minutes, yet the depression is conveniently ignored. He also mentioned that reports of the National Mental Health Survey 2015-16 reveals that 9.8 Million Teenagers in the age group 13-17 years suffer depression and other mental disorders and are “in Need of active intervention”.

All these figures and reports reveal that there is something wrong with the Indian Education system that we do not understand. The Indian education system is broken because of not following the complete learning cycle. Dr. Vinod added.

Our start-up is based on educational psychology to give psychological solutions to students to enjoy their studies and exams. Students usually forget the content even after memorizing so many times. Our start-up deals with removing the habit of forgetting by converting the study content into permanent memory with the help of imagination and association principles.

The unique and differentiator of our start-up are- it is equipping the education process with the science of recollection and memorization techniques which is based on the science of mnemonics.  Mostly in India, institutes, schools, and colleges teach students how to read well, how to write well and how to comprehend well, but most institutions and schools are not teaching How to recollect in exams, and this is why all the problems are increasing day by day. We all know, for better exam results, a student has to do two things –very well comprehension and very well memorization so as to finally have accurate recollection in exams. But students are usually taught how to comprehend, and for comprehension or understating, students have teachers, faculties, schools, and coaching centres, but for best memorization, students do not have any innovative support or help. That’s why they tend to use old techniques like repetition and cramming, which results in increasing mental stress, fear of forgetting in examination and anxiety. Our start-up gives student’s new and proven techniques of mnemonic science based on educational psychology, especially skilling students on memorization retention and recollection. By which students enjoy the syllabus, memorize faster and recollect the content exams accurately.

BRAINYWOOD = Innovative Learning Approach + Quality Education + Entire Learning Process + Reduces Stress + Reduces Parents Expenditure+ Noble Effect.

ONE PRODUCT = 6 Important Solutions.

November 15: Abdullahi Ibrahim Haruna, an African student from Nigeria, pursuing his Ph. D. at the Mechanical Department at SRM University, Sonepat, recalls the days when he was planning to visit his hometown, and the second wave of coronavirus outbreak happened in April 2021. He was struck in India then and acknowledged how the University officials supported him at those challenging times. He recollects the time when there was no one at the University except a few other International Students.

He extends his gratitude towards the SRMUH team for taking absolute care of the international students as they did in normal times. All the campus facilities, even the canteen, kept running in the lockdown period. Not only that, as the students did not have the Aadhar Card (citizen identification card), the vaccination was a big hurdle for them. But the University took all the possible measures to get him and other students vaccinated. As a result, he has already received his first dose of Covishield. Haruna thinks that the University tackled the situation in the best way possible, especially because domestic students and most staff left for their native places.

Another story was shared by a student from Afghanistan, Quaasim, who completed his MBA in India when political instability in his country struck him back. He recalls the crucial times when he felt helpless as he couldn’t go back to his country. In addition, his father suffered huge losses in business. So he contacted the Office of International Affairs and expressed his interest in pursuing his PhD in Management. According to him, Mr. Vikas Bajaj at the International Affairs Department was very supportive and assisted him in preparing his file and documentation. He also helped him secure a scholarship at the University. Mr. Bajaj said, “We work for the noble cause of enlightening the world; hence we support students from diverse backgrounds from multifaceted cultures and geographies.”

The International Affairs Director, Mr. Manoj Madhavan Kutty, quoted, “India is also regarded as a communication centre and is popular among international students from all over the globe. India is an academic hub that offers a holistic learning opportunity to course-seekers. The University has witnessed organic admissions, majorly from Africa and SAARC countries. In Indian Universities, English is a common communication language. This makes it very appealing for the global community. For an international student, the advantage of studying in India is that the cost of education is relatively low in comparison to other countries.”

The Student Exchange Programs

 SRMUH conducts student exchange programmes with colleges (both students and faculty) all across the globe. These programmes broaden students’ horizons, teach them about multiculturalism, and expose them to management dynamics in various nations.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 11: UnMath School, a leading innovative teaching organisation, has launched UnMath Hotspot, which allows students to see how math is used on their campus. This entire process entails identifying approximately 80 spots on the school campus, divided by grade level, and training teachers on how to take these children to each spot once a month. The children are shown how math has been applied in these spots.
This one-of-a-kind concept allows children to explore how math concepts are used on their campus, as well as what would happen if math was not used. During the process, these students begin to use an investigation model and begin to comprehend the ramifications.
Speaking on the program, Divesh Bathija, Founder, UnMath, says, “The children have been absent from school for the past year and a half. They return to the school and are reminded that, yes, this is the same campus where you studied, but now you are going to look at every nook and cranny and see how math was actually applied over there. This makes a lot of sense for the students at the school who are extremely tired and have reached online fatigue because there is so much content being taught online that they would love to see it happening offline in front of their eyes.”
Further explaining about the program, Divesh adds, “Suppose that a certain school has a stage and a certain number of benches that are kept there. The benches are now aligned in such a way or at such an angle that more viewers are available. However, if those benches were kept parallel or perpendicular, there would be very limited view, or you would have to have tall people sit in the back and shorter ones in the front. Another example is at the entrance of the gate, what is the angle that it is opening and closing, then at various staircase measurements used over there, giving kids an idea that if they were to renovate a part of the school, what kind of calculations are required over there.”
About UnMath School:
UnMath School, founded in 2012 by Divesh Bathija and Raashi Bathija, provides a creative mathematics curriculum that allows students to understand the subject in a smarter and simpler manner. The company, headquartered in Mumbai, has grown from four schools in 2012 to over 200 today, with 1 to 50000+ students and 10000+ teachers. The creative curriculum has been used in countries such as India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.

November 11: Gone are the times when a teacher had to make lakhs of investment to start their coaching and for students educating oneself about something is no more a costly affair. Considering this as an opportunity, a Jaipur-based ed-tech startup Bodhi AI, awarded by Govt. of Rajasthan, started working on how to empower both teachers and students online.

The teacher’s side helps them grow their coaching online using their brand name and manage their coaching classes. Further, teachers also get free students on their platform, thereby giving them access to reach out to a broader community of students online. Thousands of teachers launch their teaching platform every day with Bodhi AI, and this is the highest number of white-labelled apps created by any ed-tech startup in the world. Teachers always prefer to start something in their name and have a strong vision for the product they want for their coaching. It’s just that they need someone to execute their ideas because they are the king of content and hence have to outsource their technology and marketing-related activities. The team at Bodhi AI treats every teacher as an entrepreneur and hence works on how to help teachers build their brand among students.

For students, it’s a completely free learning application wherein students can ask their doubts from any topic of their choice and get connected over a 1 to 1 video call to a teacher in just 60 seconds. Besides, students can take unlimited tests and even earn monetary rewards after performing well in tests. Students who come to the Bodhi AI platform say goodbye to generalized learning because students here connect 1 on 1 with an expert for their specific queries and don’t have to waste time researching the entire topic or taking unnecessary stuff around it. There’s enough content (videos, notes, and tests) available for students online, but they are still confused because they are not well guided. Founder Prashant Pandey, an engineer from the University of Birmingham, firmly believes “Every student should have a personal teacher just like Arjun had Krishna”.

Bodhi AI is growing at a great pace, with over 2,000+ paid coaching classes in India and 8,000+ paid teachers (a total of 85,000+ teachers on the platform) having 9.5 lakh+ students. The average value of transactions done by teachers after selling out their courses to students is about Rs. 3.5 Crore per month. Their unique business model of connecting students to teachers helped them multiply their teacher base up to 10x, with user retention rate growing up by 15%. On the student’s side, the need for a 1 on 1 personal teacher and the gamification feature of giving rewards for performing well in tests helped them increase their user engagement.

Founded by Prashant Pandey and Piyush Agarwal, Bodhi AI is a team of 35 Bodhis. On the investment side, they have been funded by the Government of Rajasthan and an ed-tech accelerator named UIncept in Gurgaon. After achieving product-market fit and looking forward to scaling, they are planning to raise their seed round. The offline Coaching segment generates an annual cash flow of over $21 billion towards India’s education sector, and Bodhi AI is on a mission to become one of the market leaders with startups like Class plus and Teachmint making an impact in this space.

November 03: IIT Delhi has emerged as a breeding ground for innovation, experimentation and development of various advanced technology-backed solutions. In the wake of changing dynamics and needs, owing to the onset of the pandemic and other multitude of challenges, the institute has played a key role in bridging the gap to cater to the new-age problems in recent times. The institute has laid special emphasis on artificial intelligence in this regard.

Recently, IIT Delhi went on to establish an independent ‘School of Artificial Intelligence (ScAI)’ on its campus. When it comes to the research and educational activity in AI, the institute is already a leader in Asia. A high number of quality publications in AI has given it the edge over the last ten years. Moreover, IITians have been spearheading the AI revolution in India on the back of astounding technical prowess.

One of the recent examples is that of Joydeep Sen Sharma, an IITian who revolutionized big data and AI. After graduating from IIT Delhi, he worked in various companies, including Yahoo, Oracle Corp, Dasti Appliance, Facebook. Joydeep became the founder of Qubole, the first vendor to introduce Auto-scaling Hadoop/Spark/Presto clusters, etc. He is currently working as an advisor at NextBillion.ai.

Similarly, many other names operating in the industry have the IIT connection, including the technology investors. For instance, RajatKhare of IIT Delhi has been mainly focused on deep-tech investments, including AI. “The advanced tech has the potential to change the way we operate in various sectors. It can not only enhance the efficiency of the operations but also open new endeavours in the coming time,” says RajatKhare.IIT Delhi‘s another gem is Prashant Warier, the co-founder and CEO of Qure.ai, a firm that uses deep learning to make healthcare accessible and affordable.

Qure.ai interprets CT Scans, X-Rays and MRIs using deep learning technology. It creates automated diagnostic reports to help radiologists make faster and more accurate decisions. Likewise, Srikanth Velamakanni, the co-founder and Group Chief Executive and Vice Chairman at Fractal Analytics, is another entrepreneur who aims to leverage the potential of AI to boost the decision of every human in an enterprise. His problem-solving skills and decision-making are backed by the IIT connection too.

Overall, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that IITians have spearheaded the AI revolution in India. Especially, IIT Delhi has been at the forefront of tech integration, opening new possibilities to benefit a number of sectors in the long run.
