EduTech startup HomeSkul launches afterschool e-learning

App

Kerala-based EduTech startup HomeSkul has launched the first home-grown


afterschool e-learning app which provides Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
Augmented Reality (AR) -powered personalised learning experience for
students.

Popular Malayalam actor and HomeSkul brand ambassador, Prithviraj,


introduced the app at an event held here on Saturday.

The app makers said it comes with several unique features and is packed with
high-quality content prepared by experienced faculty and subject experts for
CBSE and state board students.

"Besides recorded classes, HomeSkul also runs live classes on a two-way


interactive smart classroom platform using AR technology. The assisted
learning feature of HomeSkul facilitates the easy clearing of doubts and
questions during and after the live sessions," Home Skul said in a release.

The app also has an extensive e-library of study materials on all topics covered
and is the first in the segment to introduce chapter-wise revision videos that
would help students for last-minute preparation for exams, it said.

Jaganathan Ram, founder and CEO of HomeSkul, said the classes are
handled by trained subject experts with more than a decade of teaching
experience and not by presenters.

"Innovation in quality content, pedagogical approach and affordability are the


key factors that make HomeSkul unique. We are providing rich content with
concept building and reinforcement through real-life examples. Short notes,
mind maps for preparing for examinations, interactive video classes that
ensure student's attention in the class, chapter-wise revision videos are some
of the unique features of HomeSkul," Ram said.

Launched in English and Malayalam, the app will soon add Hindi for students
across the country. It also plans to include classes in more regional
languages.

HomeSkul addresses the needs of students from 8th to 12th standard of


CBSE apart from after school tutoring and coaching classes for competitive
exams such as NEET and JEE.

HomeSkul COO Biji Kumar R, said the company was charging only less than
50 per cent of average fees of offline tuitions and thus have an edge over
competitors.

presence in semi-urban and rural areas all over India in order to ensure
affordable access to underserved communities," he said.

Meanwhile, Ananthu Sunil, Director of HomeSkul, said the App is designed


to ensure the best quality of education and intelligently curated engaging
educational content.
