We helped them run hackathon, innovation sprint, and even created an innovation accelerator. In essence, we are their innovation partner. Lastly, we also created tech ecosystem and built community from scratch. We believe education is key for any country and economy to thrive in this century. We need to disrupt outdated and obsolete education system and build a new one. But the pace of change was too slow and too bureaucratic so we decided to drive the change ourselves. In 2018, we built EdTech community and ecosystem from scratch with over 100 EdTech startups and 500+ EdTech startup founders. We work closely with leading public and private institutes to use technology and innovation to create tangible change in education system. Education is just the beginning ; We hope to replicate our success and playbook to drive change in other sectors of the economy. Disrupt Rules!
