recognizing the transformative potential of education and
leveraging technology to make that potential a reality for

Empowering the Workforce

development and upskilling our internal employees, it will
raise significant concerns about the quality of our services
for outside organizations,” says Mr Patil and adds that to

by deeply investing in the continuous learning and

each student. This personalized
approach to education not only
improves engagement and retention but

Additionally, concerns around teacher
training, data privacy, and the potential
for screen fatigue require careful
consideration.
The Future of Education

The ever-changing times demand dynamic leadership
that can convince believers to adapt to the change
by acquiring knowledge through continuous
learning. Energy cannot remain stationary. It compels every
phenomenon to remain in constant motion, thus, evolving.
Children are the best example of this restless energy – an
eternal force in abundance. To shape this pure power of life
in their future to become the best version of themselves,
educators, teachers, and leaders must be full of exceptional
dynamism.
Aiswarya Sivanesh, the Co-founder of TANGO Acad-
emy of India, too, defines Dynamism as Continuous
Learning. She says, “Learning makes us legend. I have
seen my grandparents, the dynamic personalities in my life,
always power-packed with lots of positivity.”
She further believes that dynamic leadership is very crucial
today. “I trust and accept the dynamic leadership is very
interesting when the positivity and the knowledge are being
shared, and it gets multiplied,” she adds.
Dynamically Legendary Learning
Reflecting on her dynamism and looking back in 2017, with
lots of dreams, she started her educational endeavour just
by the name TANGO. She says, “We started a summer
camp for kids in May. We slowly added small feathers to
our Organization. Especially for kids. As I was in the early
stages of my motherhood.”
Later, she and her team TANGO regularly taught kids about
Arts, Crafts, Yoga, and Languages. Aiswarya always
believes that she has a powerful crew with her where she
can empower the world with young minds. “We shape the
skills of kids of age group 3+ yrs. Now, we train kids with
courses including Abacus, Phonetics, Brain gyms, Tamil,
Hindi, English Language classes, and Arts – Drawing and
Painting, etc.”
They also Homeschool kids with their mentorship interna-
tionally. Various training Programs are conducted for Kids
and adults passionate about sharpening their skills in this
competitive world.
Being an Ethical Human
Sharing how as an organization, they are currently posi-
tioned as one of the best service providers, Aiswarya says
they focus more on the results of their students where they
not only excel in the academic/artistic parts but also
incorporate the values of being a good human than being
an expert in the current world competencies. Once they
focus on building morality and righteousness, they are
identified as the best service provider in education.
Further highlighting the professional qualities and values
her clients and employees admire in her the most, Aiswarya
says she always works on the quality of the mentorship with
the clients and the employees. When the expectations are
met, and the quality excels beyond the circles, they become
admirable.
Also, they motivate their students and faculties with
quarterly events to showcase their talents through The
TALENT EXPO called “TANGO FEST,” both physically
and virtually.
The Glory of Accepting Challenges
Being an experienced leader, sharing her opinion on how
the adoption of modern Technologies impacts the educa-
tional industry and how her firm, TANGO Academy of
India, is adapting to the change, Aiswarya reiterates that
The 5 Most Dynamic Leaders in the Education Sector

they have a worldwide global network of students who are
being trained from TANGO Academy in different courses
from US, UK, Singapore, South Korea, Poland, UAE, etc.
As they work in different time zones and with qualified
faculties, they use virtual technologies where they easily
bridge with their students.
When probed that in the current industry scenario, what
kind of challenges she faces, and how she drives TANGO
Academy to overcome them, Aiswarya says, “The key to
life is to accept the challenges. The Challenges give Glory
to us.”
As an Educational organization developing an app with
various accessibility points is the challenge, they all face as
an education forum. They overcome those challenges by
accepting the reviews and making those issues no longer
exist. She has built a team which makes any challenge into
a good change.
Delightful Wisdom
In her advice to budding entrepreneurs, especially women
who aspire to venture into business, Aiswarya says, “I
recommend every budding woman entrepreneur should
work on her passion and what she loves to do rather than
following someone’s success path. Choosing the genre that
makes you happy will lead to delighted success. I have
experienced this ‘Happiness is Directly Proportional to
Success and Achievement’.”
On envisioning scaling TANGO Academy’s operations and
offerings in the future, she reveals that they have a Chapter
they run for Green Revolution in their Country from
TANGO Academy named ‘TANGO Greenage.’
Through this, they did n number of CSR activities to save
Mother Nature, increase the underground water table and so
on by planting 10000+ palm seeds in 2021. TANGO’s
Managing Director and CEO, Mr Sivanesh Kumar, led
this mass plantation drive in the Mettukundu Village of
Virudhunagar district in Tamil Nadu.

The divide is not only digital. The divide is a
chronological constant of positive change and its
widespread resistance. This divide can only be
bridged by the transcendental power of education. Educa-
tion does not mean learning generations their letters –
instead it means empowering them with the knowledge and
wisdom of eons through the streaming of concurrent times.
India has always been the land of globally renowned
learned wise philosophers and scientists including,
Ÿ Aryabhata (mathematician – the discoverer of zero,
physicist, and astronomer),
Ÿ Panini (Sanskrit philologist, Grammarian, and Scholar),
Ÿ Bhaskaracharya (mathematician and astronomer),
Ÿ Charaka (Father of Indian Medicine),
Ÿ Swami Vivekananda (World renowned Indian
Philosopher),
Ÿ Rabindranath Tagore (World renowned Polymath,
Creator of the Indian Anthem),
Ÿ Meghnad Saha (globally renowned astrophysicist and
the developer of the Saha Ionization equation),
Ÿ Srinivasa Ramanujan (The Royal Society of London’s
Fellow Mathematician),
Ÿ CV Raman (Nobel prize in physics in 1930 and
recipient of first-ever Bharat Ratna),
Ÿ Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis (Father of Modern
Statistics),
Ÿ Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar (Father of the Indian
Constitution),
Ÿ Har Gobind Khorana (Nobel prize winner in 1968),
Ÿ Subrahmanyan Chandrashekhar (Nobel Prize Winner of

Ÿ Vikram Sarabhai (Father of the Indian Space Program),
Ÿ Homi Jahangir Bhabha (Father of the Indian Nuclear
Program),
Ÿ APJ Abdul Kalam (The Missile Man of India and
Bharat Ratna recipient), etc.
To bridge the vast divide and ensure that the list of wise
Indians continues in the future, CA Raj K Agrawal, the
Founder and CEO has taken upon himself the humongous
responsibility of transforming India by educating Bharat
with the establishment of Study At Home Pvt Ltd, a
Virtual Learning and Educational Academy, in 2018, long
before anyone thought in this regard.
Commencing the Noble Mission of All-Inclusive
Education
A brilliant student throughout his studies, Raj always
topped in his classes, “I was the winner at all competitions
and an AIR in CA. I could not leave my love for education,
and I started teaching immediately after my CA final
exams.”
These tremendous achievements and his teaching style gave
Raj an upper hand in teaching and a fillip in his career.
Since then he has been teaching finance to Pan-India
students of professional courses.
Raj made an astute observation during his education that
the best coaching was available to the students of
metropolitan cities only. Students from non-metro cities
missed this opportunity altogether due to high tuition fees
and the cost of living in metros. The times were unripe for
online education. Yet, to level the playing field, Raj decided
to begin the all-inclusive mission of online education and
thus was born Study At Home.
Raj states, “I started this mission as a one-man army, and
today I have my battalion of young minds with amazing
skill sets who are working together to uplift students from
non-metro, tier-2, tier-3 cities, towns, and even villages.”
Raj and his Study At Home team believe that when it comes
to education, your dedication and quality of content must be
on top priority. Apart from it, the lecture delivering style
and building personal connections with students leads you
to be excellent in the industry.”
Raj further believes that we have 90% Bharat and just 10%
India, and he aims to educate that 90% of Bharat. The
Bharat, who speaks in Hindi, and
learns in Hindi. The Bharat, where 57% of the population
earns less than ₹10,000 per month. The Bharat, who gave
birth to all the earlier stated and many more generations of
legends.
Continuing the Age of Knowledge
Raj imbibed several essential values very early on in his
life: A clear vision, honesty, genuine compassion,
We aim
to educate
.
BHARAT

dedication to deliver before deadlines, excelling in quality
and commitments, and life-long learning habits to con-
stantly better oneself.
Moreover, his optimistic approach and risk-taking ability
have always been admired; for Raj, be it a success or
failure, his optimism never dies and his creativity and
ability to execute are important. He believes if his idea
doesn’t solve the problem of millions of people, he cannot
grow.
Raj shares, “My self-belief, my perseverance is paramount.
I always make everyone understand that achieving goals
never means goals set by others; one should set their own
benchmarks and try to push them every day to become the
best version of themselves.”
His willingness to learn; all entrepreneurs need to learn
from other businesses and people, especially from small
startups and other entrepreneurs too. “As it is really difficult
to keep up the growth and there is no age of learning,” feels
Raj.
Assurance of Excellence
Offering online education most simply and differing from
very hi-tech players in the market, Study At Home is an
EdTech firm committed to delivering within students´ reach
and capacity with very affordable pricing. That is why they
are delivering High-Quality Recorded Video Lectures,
unlike live classes. Study At Home’s video contents can be
downloaded with a dedicated Support System once
purchased.
It gives internet-free access to studies at the students’
convenience. The virtual academy also has e-books and AI-
enabled test series, which are continuously upgraded.
You can also find skill development courses delivered by
celebrities. Raj and his team assimilate India's Top Faculties
to give a User-Friendly Experience with 24x7 Support.
Raj shares, “National Start-Up Award 2021 in Education
and Skill Development category as a winner proves our
worth in the industry and speaks of our success without us
saying something.”
Raj mentions the USPs of Study At Home:
Ÿ Study At Home’s windows-based video lecture does not
require internet connectivity.
Ÿ The test series it offers is AI-enabled. Also, it has test
series for 1400+ exams
Ÿ It offers lectures at just ₹50/ Month, which can be
afforded by lower and lower-middle-class people also in
24 | April, 2024

rural areas as well. Hence, lowest price in the entire
EdTech space.
Ÿ It provides all four categories under one roof, Academic,
Government Competitive, Professional, and Skill
Development Courses too.
Ÿ It has created this business with almost nil resources. It
knows how to make optimum utilization of resources
and funds too.
Ÿ Well, its Technology is very user-friendly and superfine
in such a way that there is just one student out of 500
who needs technological support.
Ÿ IP rights of 95% of its offerings.
Ÿ In-house technology development team.
Empowering Today’s Students to Become Future
Legends
StudyAtHome.org is a leading EdTech company dedicated
to providing quality pre-recorded lectures for Class 8 to 12,
CA, CS, CMA, JEE, NEET, Banking, SSC, Railway, CLAT,
Tally, Stock Market, Excel, PPT, etc.
It has the backing of several years of experience in shaping
the world of Education.
It is on the cusp of modern trends, new technologies, and
new ways to deliver education effectively and creatively.
One can also prepare from the Best in the Comfort of their
Home for Skill Development, Academic Exams, Profes-
sional Exams, and Competitive Exams.
Knowledge is not just profit but an asset. To keep assets
free from depreciating, one needs to consistently upgrade
them and add more value. “We understand this philosophy
very well and so execute it. Our knowledge resourcing team
is in continuous endeavours to create the best faculty pool
for us.
On the other hand, our dedicated content development team
is also updating and editing both online and offline content
to make it easier and more interesting with the richest of its
value. We always keep in mind the affordability and
accessibility of our content,” says Raj.
As Raj mentioned earlier, Study At Home also has skill
development courses made completely in-house, which has
the greatest demand all across the country.
“As we are working forth for it, you will soon see more and
more unique and most demanded videos coming forth from
industry leaders and personalities,” expresses Raj.
Apart from that, the Study At Home School and College
offerings, which are absolutely Free of cost to schools and
colleges, has been a mega-hit with teachers. Given the
pandemic challenges, this solution has served a perfect need
of the hour for schools wanting to enable quality online
learning for their students. So far, it has many schools and
colleges that are benefitting from it. It provides skill
development courses to them, which they don't have in their
curriculum.
Raj expresses, “As a brand, we have grown, and we have
managed to reach out to the smallest of cities in India, and I
guess that made us stand in today’s knowledge economy.”
Tech Expansion of Edu-Nation
According to Raj, advanced modern technologies are
creating a new feel. Face to face study model has no
25 | April, 2024

alternative, but online platforms are pivotally doing bigger
penetration amongst the target market.
Technologies like AI, ML, XR, etc., are bringing well this
experience by creating a virtual face-to-face education
experience at home. Even much more like teacher access,
study material access, library access, repertory-based
model, going back and forth in lectures, and even accessing
other lectures in real-time.
Talking about technology enhancement – Automation in
customer support, the advanced user interface on the
website, and other technical support that has been
outsourced, will now be created in-house.
Advancing to the charge over Study At Home learning app
– Completely revamped and high-level security of the app.
The app will also be available to access in different
languages. Raj adds, “We will also add some features for
gamification; Gamification elements add flavour and fun to
learning, encouraging more frequent interactions with the
training.” Advance in-app communication as interactions
with online instructors will also be more direct and
frequent, which helps students resolve issues fast and move
on.
“Our in-house team is working on this, and very soon, we
will be in an online space with a difference. Our only wish
is to make competitive education not just affordable and
accessible, but also simple and understandable so that
Young India's tomorrow is secured creatively,” concludes
Raj.

How EdTechis
Democratizing
Access toEducation?
28 | April, 2024

n today's interconnected world,
Iaccess to quality education is not
just a privilege but a fundamental
right. For far too long, access to quality
education has been hampered by
geographical limitations,
socioeconomic factors, and traditional
learning models.
Nevertheless, for many individuals
around the globe, barriers such as
geographic location, socioeconomic
status, and physical limitations have
traditionally hindered their ability to
pursue education.
However, the rise of EdTech
(educational technology) is breaking
down these barriers, empowering
learners of all backgrounds and
creating a more democratic education
system. This fortunate upswing of
EdTech is changing that narrative by
democratizing access to education and
empowering learners from all walks of
life.
Breaking Down Geographical
Barriers: EdTech transcends physical
boundaries. Online learning platforms
and educational resources readily
available on the internet empower
students in remote areas to access
quality education, previously
unavailable due to location. One of the
most significant ways EdTech is
democratizing access to education is
by breaking down geographical
barriers.
Through online learning platforms,
virtual classrooms, and digital course
materials, students can now access
high-quality education from anywhere
in the world, regardless of their
location. This has opened up new
opportunities for remote and
underserved communities, allowing
students in rural areas, developing
countries, and even conflict zones to
access educational resources that were
once out of reach. This fosters a more
level playing field, allowing students
from geographically disadvantaged
areas to compete and excel
academically.
Affordability and Flexibility: EdTech
offers a cost-effective alternative to
traditional education. Online courses

and resources are often significantly cheaper than
traditional tuition fees, making education more accessible to
students from lower-income backgrounds. Additionally, the
flexibility of EdTech allows learners to study at their own
pace and convenience, accommodating busy schedules and
working professionals.
Furthermore, EdTech is making education more affordable
and accessible than ever before. By offering online courses,
open educational resources (OER), and low-cost
subscription models, EdTech companies are reducing the
financial barriers to education and making it more
accessible to learners of all income levels. This has
democratized access to education and empowered
individuals from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to
pursue their educational goals without the burden of
exorbitant tuition fees or other expenses.
Personalized Learning for All: EdTech personalizes the
learning experience, catering to individual needs and
learning styles. Adaptive learning platforms analyze student
strengths and weaknesses, tailoring the curriculum and pace
of learning for optimal outcomes. This ensures each student
receives the support they need to thrive, fostering a more
inclusive learning environment.
Moreover, EdTech is leveling the playing field for learners
with disabilities and special needs. Through adaptive
learning technologies, assistive devices, and inclusive
design principles, EdTech companies are ensuring that
education is accessible to students with diverse learning
styles, abilities, and challenges. This inclusivity not only
promotes equity and diversity in education but also
empowers learners to reach their full potential and
participate fully in the learning process.
Additionally, EdTech is democratizing access to education
by offering flexible learning options that accommodate the
busy schedules and lifestyles of today's learners. With on-
demand courses, self-paced learning modules, and mobile
learning apps, students can now learn at their own pace, on
their own terms, and from the comfort of their own homes.
This flexibility enables learners to balance their education
with work, family, and other commitments, making
education more accessible and convenient than ever before.
Lifelong Learning Opportunities: The beauty of EdTech lies
in its ability to extend beyond formal education. Online
platforms offer a plethora of courses and resources for skill
development, professional certifications, and micro-learning
opportunities. This empowers individuals of all ages to
continuously learn and upskill themselves, remaining
competitive in the ever-evolving job market.
Furthermore, EdTech is empowering learners with the tools
and resources they need to succeed in the digital age. From
interactive learning platforms and educational apps to
virtual reality simulations and gamified experiences,
EdTech is engaging students in new and exciting ways,
fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving
skills. This empowerment not only enhances learning
outcomes but also equips learners with the skills and
competencies they need to thrive in the 21st-century
workforce.
Challenges and Considerations
While EdTech offers immense potential, there are
challenges to address. Ensuring equitable access to
technology and bridging the digital divide remains crucial.
Additionally, concerns around teacher training to effectively
integrate EdTech tools and addressing potential distractions
associated with screen time require careful consideration.
A Brighter Future for Education
By addressing these challenges and harnessing the power of
EdTech, we can work towards a future where education is
not a privilege but a right. EdTech has the potential to
empower learners, foster an inclusive learning environment,
and equip individuals with the skills they need to succeed in
the 21st century and beyond.
EdTech is playing a transformative role in democratizing
access to education and empowering learners around the
world. By breaking down barriers, reducing costs,
promoting inclusivity, and offering flexible learning
options, EdTech is making education more accessible,
equitable, and impactful than ever before. As we continue
to harness the power of technology to enhance education,
we have the opportunity to create a brighter future for
learners of all ages and backgrounds, empowering them to
reach their full potential and contribute positively to
society.

Learning English
with Litvill Lessons in India
36 | April, 2024

We cannot deny that fiction is a fantabulous
version of reality. Although sometimes, fiction
pales in comparison with an enchantingly
fantastic real saga. Imran Rautan's story is like that;
sounds a bit like a fairy tale, calling for a movie adaptation.
The story is of how starting from zero, Imran has become a
hero by launching Litvill Lessons Association–A non-profit
organisation to help children learn English.
The epic starts with a poor, stone-polishing Indian boy who
has recently launched his non-profit company to help
disadvantaged kids like him around India fulfill their utmost
potential.
Imran grew up in a kind of slum. Only a few lucky children
go to school from his community; instead, most of them go
straight to work at a very young age. Though Imran had to
do stone polishing after classes from the tender age of eight,
he still managed the accomplishment of finishing secondary
school.
Nonetheless, after his schooling, he went to work at a small
hotel. There were few options for him. His family was too
poor to pay university fees, though his dream was to do
further studies. Undeterred by his upbringing, he always
wanted a better life; cars, fancy sunglasses and a long coat.
In the hotel, he realized that most rich people with cars,
sunglasses, and long coats speak English. He thought if he
spoke English, he could be just like them. So he started to
learn English by himself, firstly by using English
newspapers left behind by the guests he aspired to be like.
All the hotel guests were his tutors. He used to ask them
many questions about words and phrases he picked up in
his inspired studies.
One day a foreign lady (Dolores) arrived at the hotel, and as
usual, he asked her to explain some English phrases on his
plate for the day. Dolores was impressed by Imran's genuine
learning method.
Astute Method and Inquisitive Enthusiasm
Imran asked her if she could help him to learn English. This
proved most fortuitous, as she was an expert in learning
theories, and so, out of curiosity, she agreed.
Imran did 80% of the learning by himself, and 20% of the
time, she guided him on his path online. The results were
promising; he could easily communicate with his hotel
guests in less than six months. Impressed by his dedication,
hard work and progress, Dolores offered him financial
support to attend his once-wishful university. First, he was
hesitant. As a sole breadwinner of a family of five, he could
not afford to quit his full-time job. However, the
opportunity was a great temptation as it was perhaps his last
opportunity to study further and pursue his dream. He
accepted her offer, though she was unsure if he could do it
alongside a full-time job. Regardless, she was committed
and willing to risk her money for a 'social experiment,' as
she favourably referred to it.
Imran attended the university from morning to afternoon,
then did his full-time job until midnight. This routine went
on for three years, including Saturdays and Sundays. It was
assertively challenging, but encouragingly, he was one of
the best students at the University of Jaipur. His appetite for
learning grew stronger, and he continued to finish his
master's degree. This year, he even earnt a scholarship from
a foreign university to pursue PhD studies.
The Meaning of Real Happiness

deep within is to do something good for others. There might
be millions upon millions of Indian kids just like him who
have no opportunity to study but have tremendous untapped
potential. With this aim, Imran and Dolores started to work
on an online English platform. Together, they founded
Litvill Lessons to help predominantly school-going kids in
India improve their English language and thinking skills.
Imran, who is now the Founder and CEO strongly believes
that if he could make it so far, others can also make it with
the help of Litvill Lessons.
Imran reveals that the inspiration behind venturing into the
business arena comes from his own small achievements. “I
realized that if I can make it so far, other kids can also make
it if the same model can be provided to them, where they
get international exposure, English speaking environment,
master self-learning skills, and financial help. We looked
around but we didn't find this model, and then we started
Litvill Lessons which is based on the same model to
replicate my own story.”
Highlighting the initial challenges that he had to surmount to
ensure Litvill's success rate reached greater heights, Imran
says one of the challenges was accommodating the students to
a new way of learning English. Most Indian students are used
to learning anything through spoon-feeding. Their opinion
doesn't matter; they are supposed to regurgitate what they are
taught. However, when the students enroll at Litivill Lessons,
theyfind…
A Completely New Way of Learning
…partly because of the self-learning method, partly because
the teachers (mentors) want to know their opinion about
everything. Litvill Lessons is focused 60% on self-learning
and 40% of learning happens in online classes.
"We chose this method not only because it is cheap and
effective, but this is the future. We want our learners to use
their brains, and become independent learners who can
make their own decisions. In the beginning, most students
find self-learning difficult because they are not used to it.
Our method might deter new students and we have to make
extra efforts to convince them that the method works, but
this is our mission to change the way our kids learn in
India," he explains.
Another challenge is reaching out to a wider audience. As
they are a non-profit organization, they have a modest
budget for marketing. "In this crowded market where you
have many for-profit competitors with deep funding, it
becomes challenging for non-profit companies like us to be
heard in the market," says Imran. On the other hand, they
do not want to spend money on marketing; "We rather
spend that money on providing quality teachers for our
learners," he says. Nevertheless, he and his team are trying
to find alternative ways to spread their message. They are
open to collaborating with other companies and educational
institutes in any possible way.
A Distinctive Formula
Telling more about their distinctive offerings, Imran says
what makes them unique and different is their 60-30-10
formula, which is rare to find. This formula offers:
Ÿ Cutting Edge E-modules for self-learning.
Ÿ European English Teachers.
Ÿ English Speaking Environment (Litvill's senior students
teach junior students).
Ÿ Financial Help to Every Student.

And the benefits their students get through their 60-30-10
formula are:
Ÿ Students master the self-learning skills that most
students lack.
Ÿ Students get international exposure through European
English Teachers.
Ÿ Students get an English-speaking environment through
the model where senior students teach junior students.
That gives them the opportunity to use in real life what
they learnt.
Ÿ Students receive financial support, through their tutoring
system. In which their senior students teach junior
students they pay their senior students to practice with
their junior students.
Self-Learning and Global Exposure
Revealing their professional values and qualities, Imran
says, "Our clients value the way we teach English because
through our 60-30-10 formula they get to learn how to
become good at self-learning which most parents find
interesting as it forces the students to use their brains.
Another thing our clients' value is that they get international
exposure which is very rare for Indian kids, and it is an
excellent experience if kids have international exposure at
an early age. Furthermore, our senior students can teach
junior students which provides them with an English-
speaking environment and this is the biggest problem with
most English learners.”
As an emerging leader in the dynamic business arena,
Imran's advice to budding aspirants willing to enter the
business world is straightforward. He says, "I would advise
future educational companies to focus on the products that
help the students to master self-learning.”
On envisioning Litvill's operations with the emerging
technologies and automated tools that are revolutionizing
the business world by enabling innovations, Imran
concludes, "The more automated system would make our
operations easier, as our e-modules for, however, our 60-
30-10 formula has a more human touch to keep the students
motivated.”
