The Man behind India's Most Valued Startup

BYJU RAVEENDRAN, CEO AND FOUNDER, BYJU'S

Since inception, BYJU’S goal has been to make quality education accessible and to ensure students from across the country and eventually the globe have access to the best learning content and teachers. In fact, this was one of the main reasons for BYJU’S to shift from being an offline test prep class to an online learning app. “We understood early on that the only way to ensure that everyone has access to our learning programs and scale our offerings was with the help of technology. In fact, we brought technology in education when no one else was doing this,” shares Byju Raveendran, CEO and Founder, BYJU'S.

At BYJU’S, there is a continuous effort to make learning accessible, personalised, and engaging for students across the country. “We understood that while one student may be learning a concept for the first time, another might just be revising a concept before an exam. Students on our platform learn through a combination of asynchronous, synchronous, self-paced and scheduled learning. Through the combination of teachers, video, and interactive games, we can deliver personalised learning, feedback, and assessments for all students,” adds Byju. The adaptive learning platform uses new-age technology and data science to a detailed and dynamic learning profile for every single student. This profile forms the backbone of their highly personalised recommendation system. This recommendation system has the intelligence to figure out what a student is struggling with, actively intervene and help fix their misconceptions.
