It would be an understatement to say that technology has penetrated our lives for the good. All around us, we see different life practices getting heavily impacted by the prowess of technology and the power of the internet, including conventional avenues of entertainment, healthcare, retail, travel, and even education. The pandemic has made this point even clearer than before, with EdTech having assumed majestic proportions in our daily lives.

This is the very basis of Simpliv Learning, a vibrant and highly diversified online learning marketplace that is on a mission to ensure Education for All. Its founder, Shahanshah Manzoor, having worked as a professional and entrepreneur himself for over 15 years, wishes to spread awareness on the significance of skill-centric learning that goes a long way in shaping talents and careers.

Simplified Learning with Simpliv

True to its unique name, Simpliv Learning has simplified both access to and application of EdTech across verticals of management, technology, life sciences, and other areas of interest. Based out of Fremont in California, USA, Simpliv is led by its charismatic and highly motivated founder, who believes in the power good learning experiences can have on the potential of learners.

“Our elders often say, learning has no limits and hence no boundaries. Simpliv Learning is helping get rid of these constraints once and for all through an inclusive approach, thus bringing learning to any person who wants to learn.”

The platform has empaneled expert instructors touching every field you can imagine while allowing learners to interact and learn from them directly. The ever-evolving and highly competitive world of today demands an in-depth understanding of the subject you wish to excel in, and this clarity comes only with quality education, according to Manzoor. This is why Simpliv Learning focuses more on the development of a dynamic setup of learning, with a reinvented educational landscape to impact the learner’s mind directly. The brand also occasionally collaborates with the global education community, including expert trained instructors and innovative technologies to accomplish its goal of universality and quality.

Comprehensive Learning Solutions for Long-Term Success

Simpliv Learning is much more than a mere online learning portal though. At the crux of the venture is the deeper vision of Education for All, which is why the one-of-a-kind platform offers professional designed, cost-effective courses by expert instructors and leveraging innovative technologies.

“When I started my career as a software professional in a tech-based business enterprise,” shares Manzoor, “that is when I realized the significance of quality learning resources, which we lacked at that time. With time, this need has grown exponentially, and the population now needs greater exposure to skills and training in their respective fields.”

“Come to think of it, and education is one true empowerment an individual can be blessed with,” remarks Manzoor. “What we are doing at Simpliv Learning is simply bringing the basics together to give this conventional industry a new face, based on inclusive principles of equal treatment for all and the universality of learnings.”

The intention behind establishing a platform like Simpliv Learning had always been to be able to fill those gaps that had been left unattended to for a long time in professions such as IT, Marketing, and Business Development, all of which demand constant learning and up-gradation on the go. Simpliv’s student, professional and learner-centric interface is truly revolutionary, and as the company embarks on its mission to cater to millions across the globe, it is still keeping approachability and interaction as its top priorities.

New Delhi (India), December 7: Judiciary is among the most prestigious and coveted career choices by students in India, but realizing the dream is not an easy task. The cutthroat competition, with lakhs of students vying for a few hundred positions of judges, ensures proper guidance is as important as hard work. Judicial exams coaching classes are very expensive, and thus most of the law graduates who are financially not sound cannot even think of it, but not anymore. Legalflag.com, a rapidly-growing coaching institute dedicated to judicial exams, has introduced a comprehensive one-year online coaching course. The one-of-its-kind online program has been designed by a team of experts and is aimed at helping students crack judicial exams and other prestigious law exams. Since the entire course is online, it allows candidates to undergo coaching from any location in the country. Importantly, the program offered by Legalflag has been designed as per the latest course curriculum offering complete syllabus coverage, and the fee of the program has been kept affordable.

Talking about Judicial Services – Lower and higher judiciary, the selection process is very similar to the Indian Administrative Services (IAS), which has steps i.e., Preliminary, Mains, and Interview, conducted by the Public Service Commission or by the Supervision of the Honorable High Court. The subjects of the Preliminary exam (objective) and Mains (subjective) remain the same, but in mains, generally, the questions are being asked from the important topics of the syllabus. After the COVID-19 Pandemic, several Institutes have launched their online classes apart from the offline classes, which were stopped as per the regulations for some time. But, since they all had to adapt to online platforms in a jiffy, not all of them are able to deliver the quality.

“There is a dearth of high-quality coaching specifically for law aspirants wanting to be successful in judiciary exams. Legalflag.com has addressed this serious challenge with the high-quality study material and lectures that include the latest judgments, notes, and previous exam papers and expert guidance from experienced faculty.  The course has been prepared in line with the exam pattern that helps candidates prepare well for the judicial exams,” said Bhanu Pratap Singh, Director of Legalflag. This judicial exam coaching institute is also offering a special discount to the weaker section of the society and is not able to afford the expensive fee of the fancy coaching institutes out there. Legalflag.com also claims that they refund the whole fee amount to those candidates who clear their exams and make it through.

“We have made judicial coaching online access to a wider pool of students, who aspire to have a career in the judiciary but are unable to pursue their dream because of their inability to pay exorbitant fees to coaching institutes,” said Mr. Bhanu. As a part of coaching, the candidates get access to all recorded lectures of all law subjects, a dedicated platform for raising doubts and getting queries, access to all the landmark judgments, notes, test series of different states, more than 20,000 multiple choice questions, models answer practice for mains, and so on, which ensure they are ready for the exams.

A survey conducted by Legalflag.com found an overwhelming number of students saying they are highly satisfied with the study material, the lectures, the faculty, the teaching style, and other aspects of their coaching. For more details, please visit their website www.legalflag.com

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.
