Mr. Hitesh Gupta, Co-Founder & CTO, Park+: This National Technology Day the theme – ‘School to Startup- Igniting young minds to innovate‘ , reflects India’s ambition to emerge as a global tech startup hub, supported by its robust human capital. The need of the hour is to support the educational infrastructure at the grassroot level to empower our children to discover and experiment with ideas from a young age. India must prioritize investments in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) education, mentorship programs, and supportive policies to nurture young talent. Government initiatives like Skill India and Digital India are also key catalysts in this process.

Additionally, startups can play a crucial role in this national endeavour by emerging and cementing their position as flag bearers of innovation- a place where ideas are abundant, talent is nurtured across levels and real-world problems are solved by Indians, for Indians.  This is India’s decade and we cannot afford to lose this golden chance.

Mr. Ujjwal Singh, Founding CEO of Infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya: At Infinity Learn, a part of the esteemed Sri Chaitanya Group of Institutions, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of technology in learning. Our genesis stems from the realization that traditional schooling has limited reach to every corner of our vast nation. Hence, we leverage technology to extend the same pedagogy and quality education to tier 2,3 and 4 cities, breaking down barriers and democratizing access to knowledge.

Our AI-powered education solution, IL VISTA, has been personalizing learning experiences to suit each learner’s unique strengths and pace. Particularly in the realm of test preparation for JEE and NEET, where the journey is arduous and support is sometimes scarce, AI emerges as both a peer and mentor, offering analysis, guidance, and motivation for learners to excel.

Leveraging technology, we aim to empower learners’ progress and secure outcomes for ambitious individuals, irrespective of background or circumstance. Our vision is to establish ourselves as leaders in Tier 1 college admissions by utilizing technology as a powerful tool to realize ‘Baccha Seekha Ki Nahi?’
