Divya, Co-Founder of Seekho, a promising new edtech startup in India, talks about the inadequacy of the education system in India and how to solve the problem.

Divya talks about the importance of good learning for the student. Including hard skills and soft skills. Seekho is not essentially just online courses for jobs. It is building community and giving the platform to grow and learn from. Edtech business models are usually subscription-based. Seekho is a low-cost subscription model which is very interesting as well as accessible for students. 

While online college admission is a hassle, the field of edtech makes students learn and grow with a healthy mindset and creative liberty. 

Along with that, we also talk about hiring people and building a work culture that helps everyone grow and be a better version of themselves. This eventually leads to building a strong foundation for your team and eventually having a loyal set of people you can rely on. We talk about the startup culture, the freedom to work whenever you want, hiring the right people, testing them right, and innovating together.
