Quality Affordable Education for the Underserved

a startup idea shared by Binayak Acharya on 01/23/2016

Our social enterprise addresses the learning crisis at the BoP by providing high-quality education while simultaneously creating women micro-entrepreneurs in the local community. We provide high-quality, affordable early childhood and remedial education in villages by pioneering the use of tablet technology to provide mass access to quality education in the developing world. We are implementing scalable technology-driven solutions through its lean chain of learning hubs called ‘ThinkZone’ which are slowly changing the trajectories of growth of children in rural India. The educational programs are implemented by local women, thus providing dignified white-collar livelihoods opportunities in villages. This aspect of their model has led to a tangible financial security for women in the villages which have subsequently created a model for economic development in rural areas.
