Ed-tech platforms that have a strong hold of study basket in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities

A strong education system is one of the pillars of any civilized society. The Indian education sector is, however, riddled with multiple infrastructural holes. The case is especially grim in Tier-3 cities where students are mostly underserved on account of the unavailability of basic educational resources, the presence of poor or no physical infrastructure, and the absence of committed teachers and reading materials. In addition to this, a dearth of credible after-school coaching facilities for students in Tier-3 cities and semi-urban areas preparing for competitive exams like UPSC, CAT, etc., causes them to shift to metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune in a search of better educational resources.

To such a grim picture of the education sector in India, ed-tech promises to bring a ray of hope for not just the at-risk youths, but the entire the student community at large.
