The Indian education and skill development sector has seen an accelerated growth and a rapid shift towards digital-learning models recently, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift has bought about an increased requirement of digital assets, infrastructure, upskilling of teachers and content. With the requirement of tech-enabled learning solutions to only accelerate further, the Government is laying down new frameworks, and adopting an even more holistic and futuristic approach towards education and skill development.
