About the Client

We, (Education, Knowledge, Skills, Aptitude, Attitude, and Abilities for Qualification), are a K-12 education start-up. We are resolved and committed to solve five critical trade-offs that the education system faces today.
The first is the trade-off between the reach and the richness of education. The second is the trade-off between academic performance and learning outcomes. Third is the trade-off between standardisation and customisation of the learning inputs to the students. Fourth is the trade-off between the global and the local curricula and the fifth is the trade-off between the economic and social contexts of different nations.

We build and support scholastic, co-scholastic and skill development programs for the four life-cycle stages in K-12 education: Foundational Stage, Preparatory Stage, Middle Stage and Secondary Stage. We provide diversification of educational opportunities to develop generic and employability skills. It amalgamates knowledge with appropriate skills through in-depth subject training and imparts practical hands-on experience that prepares students for higher education and a world of academia, innovation, industry and enterprise.
Our focus is on delivering transformative results through a suite of products that includes curricula, courses, modules and micro-learning nuggets in STEM; Arts; Commerce; Multi-disciplinary and Culturally-sensitive domains; student-progress assessments and accreditation; teacher-capability development; development and execution-support of school scale-up strategy; and finally, management and governance aids designed for regulators and administrators in the education sector.
With a team of experienced educators and experts, hand-picked from different walks of life, we have developed a comprehensive range of offerings that are designed to deliver differentiated and locally relevant content to students across India and this is potentially upscalable to a global level.
