Can vernacular edtech become mainstream?

SOSV-backed Vidyakul, an interactive e-learning platform which enables teachers to create online courses and students to access quality education, recently got featured on Forbes for the topic. Founder and CEO Tarun Saini shared his experience when he was an 11th grader from non-Hindi Pounti, that he had to travel about 30 km, an hour-and-a-half by bus every day to get to school because the Hindi-medium government school at his village didn't provide any science subjects he wanted.

“One of my classmates scored 93% in her 10th grade. Her parents didn’t allow her to take up science because of the distance and financial struggles,” recalls Saini.

Realizing the gap the Indian education market continued to face in providing quality education in regional languages, in 2019, Saini, along with co-founder Raman Kumar, launched Vidyakul. It's a marketplace where anyone can upload their content.

"We realized that if you’re into academics, you need to take responsibility and provide students with end-to-end solutions."
