Focusing on holistic growth by understanding the demography and free-of-cost courses like English and communication and writing skills are some of their priorities which are also available in vernacular languages, it said in a press statement. Conker has also tied-up with NGOs who work for child development to provide free programs and assist them as they fly high towards their desired goals.
“We wish to bring a revolution in the skilling space by targeting 90 percent of the vernacular speaking audience in India and making them self-sustainable and contributing towards the gig economy and making them job ready. Not every person gains an opportunity to get into the Top tier schools; we need to create micro entrepreneurs and jobs”, said Arvind Arora aka A2 Motivation, Co-Founder, Conker World.
“The power of influencers is immense in a populated and one of the youngest countries like India. Converting this audience into a relevant business revenue model is the key. I see a great opportunity in terms of Ed-tech and Ad-tech playing out with this model. It’s a big data game”, said Rahul Saria- Angel Investor and Co-Founder of Nimble Growth.
