4. Editor’s Note
nline education went from 0 to 100 in record
Otime after Covid-19 hit across the globe. It
became paramount to change the ways we
learnt things, right from the study material to even
basic cooking.
Everything became digital and so did the online
learning concept. Many universities and teaching
institutes had to adopt the ‘e-teaching’ model to
impart education rapidly. The transition from traditional
teaching to online teaching had been difficult for many
educators. But the challenge it has posed is too great
for the students and learners.
Due to the advent of social media and its awareness
spreading like wildfire amongst youngsters, the
attention span of an average millennial has reduced to
roughly six seconds. If one fails to get their attention
during this flash of a time, it can be easily assumed that
the desired communication to be made has failed
miserably to reach its destination. Especially, when the
screen time is considered, people want engaging
content online. Most people would say that this poses
as more of a personal problem for students, but it is a
calamity, or it will turn into one if not addressed early
on.
Attention deficit is creating a problem for learners and
students to retain information and stopping them in
using it in a productive way. Educators are facing an
issue of teaching online, mostly due to technical
reasons and the lack of having physical presence
IS E-LEARNING
GOING TO BE THE
NEW NORMAL?
5. during the class is also proving to be a limitation. What
educators did earlier is not working now and although
they are welcoming this change from offline to online
teaching, the practical application of it has not been
quite productive.
If a learner’s point of view is considered, the online
teaching model has availed them plenty of free time to
do other things apart from just academics. So, it is a
plus for them. But whether this free time has been
used properly or not is still unaccountable for many
students. Again, it becomes a personal choice for every
individual in terms of how to use the time saved due to
the non-commute to work/school and getting ready to
go to work that may include a set of tasks. This is the
time when time management skills of people would be
tested at great lengths. Efficiency can be derived while
going through this phase, only if one is willing to do so.
Other than saving time, online learning would facilitate
the convenience of studying from a comfortable space
where one can either achieve great things or lose
focus. For many of the learners, it is the latter. It is also a
challenge for the parents who have children aged
between 6 years to 12 years. This age group needs an
open environment and requisite social skills to evolve
and develop to be a functional member of the society.
So, the answer to whether e-learning is going to be the
new normal or not is still in the shadows. But it can be
surely said that e-learning will become a crucial part in
every student’s or learner’s life. Some things are better
learnt the old way, by physically or practically getting
involved with the subject. For the time being though,
online learning is a great option to steer through the
challenges in education and acquiring new skills.

3. What is the current industrial
scenario of the Indian e-learning
market space?
India has become the second largest

11. market for E-learning
after the US. The sector is
expected to reach US$
1.96 billion by 2021 with
around 9.5 million users.
In India, the online
education market is
forecasted to reach ~US$
11.6 billion by 2026.
The pandemic has
remodeled the old chalk-
talk teaching model into
one driven by technology.
The number of those
enrolling for virtual
classes has witnessed an
exponential rise and the
trend is likely to stay.
Policymakers in India are
now looking to drive
engagement at scale while
ensuring inclusive eLearning solutions.
India has 35 million students enrolled in
higher education contributing to a small
gross enrolment ratio (GER) of 26 per
cent. China with a larger population has a
much higher GER of 51.6 per cent. If we
are to achieve the target of 50 per cent
GER by 2035 as envisaged by the new
National Education Policy (NEP) 2020,
we have to give prominence to online
learning.
A futuristic aspect of the Narendra Modi
government's Budget 2020 was the
announcement of National Digital
Educational Architecture (NDEAR) “for
administration, documentation, tracking,
reporting, automation and delivery of
educational courses, training programs,
or learning and development programs”,
which could lead to a learning
management system. LMS is driven by
AI, supports delivery of online learning
and acts as a platform for online content
and courses, both in synchronous and
asynchronous modes. LMS also includes
intelligent algorithms to make automated
recommendations for courses based on a
user's skill profile as well as extract
meta-data from learning materials in
order to make such recommendations
even more accurate.
4. What is the current industrial
scenario of the global e-learning
market space?
E-Learning Market size surpassed USD
250 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to
grow at an exponential CAGR of over
21% between 2021 and 2027. The advent
of several new technologies, such as AI,
VR, and cloud based LMS, will drive the
market growth. The emergence of an AI-
enabled e-learning solution will help in
the development of smart content,
digitized study guides, and real-time
questioning.
According to published global statistics,
• The global industry has since its birth
grew by 900% globally. Since its
inception, the online learning market
fact suggests that by 2025 to hit the
$325 billion mark with over two
decades.
• Global markets experiencing 30%
annual market growth include
Thailand, India, China, and the
Philippines.
• The Asian market, which is the
largest consumer, sees a 20% annual
increase in its revenue through the

“
“
online learning industry.
• As of 2020, mobile e-learning had
grown by $38 billion. From 2017 to
2022, there is an expected upward
trajectory of $6 billion.
• At least 60% of internet users have
indulged in online learning. This is
because they can comfortably do it at
the comfort of their time and place.
• 80% of companies and 50% of
institutional students have used an e-
learning platform.
• E-learning takes 40% to 60% lesser
time for employees and students than
conventional learning.
• The majority of companies are
shifting to e-learning. Around 42% of
the institutions have experienced a
rise in revenue strong as some costs,
such as travel costs, have been
significantly cut.
• E-learning enhances the learners'
retention rate to 25% to 60%
retention, unlike while having one-
on-one tutoring, which has a
retention rate of 8% to 10%. This is
because one can quickly revisit what
they learned, and they tend to have
more control over the process.
5. How is technology complimenting e-
learning in the broader spectrum?
Dr. Anuj Kacker
President and Executive Director

12. How has the ongoing Covid-19
pandemic influenced the global e-
learning space?
Online education has received a high
degree of attention during the lockdown
period mainly because it was the only
method available. But online education is
not a new discovery made during the
Covid-19 period. The advantages and
limitations of this medium are well
recognized and documented. Pure online
education has some definite advantages
particularly amongst those who seek self-
paced learning and flexibility of timings
or place. This is true for many students
who are working professionals.
This set also tends to be more self-
motivated. Online learning also comes
with severe limitations particularly in the
younger age group who are below 25
years and are seeking career building
skills. As I see it once the immediate
need has passed both physical Instructor-
led and Remote learning will continue in
balance. Blended learning would also
gain some traction. The form of medium
will be determined by the learner profile,
learning objective and convenience
factors. The choice will be made by the
learner as all forms of education will
continue to be available.
Technology in education goes much
beyond the use of web conferencing and
Learning Management Solutions. All
subjects that do not require hands-on
skills will go the online way. Others that
require competency-based skills need a
blend of both online and offline modes.
However, what is certain is that learning
providers will deploy a higher degree of
technology in the delivery process
irrespective of whether the student is in
the class or sits at home. This trend is
again not new but will receive a big
impetus. The choice of such technologies
will again be specific to the domain and
the learner profile.
Our franchise partners are even today
very conversant with use of technology
for delivery. For example, our students
from Arena Animation and Maya
Academy of Advanced Cinematics
(MAAC) use Augmented Reality in the
class for learning their crafts. Students
have access to many proprietary in-house
platforms like Creosols and Online
Varsity which all are designed to enhance
their all-round learning and life skills.
Such tools and mechanisms also are
competitive differentiators which help
the franchisees enroll students. We will
continue to enhance the use of
technology in delivery which will benefit
our students and franchise partners.
6. What would be your strategic
approach to scale your business in
2021 and beyond?
Despite the pandemic, between March –
Dec 2020, Aptech Limited across all its
education brands -
• Over 6.4 lac Tutor Hours and over
30.64 lac student hours delivered
• Close to 4 Lac online classes/batches
delivered till date
• Close to 2000 students have been
placed despite the lockdown and we
have done 700+ webinars
• We tied up with Vancouver Center of
Entertainment and Arts, Canada for
students from our media and
entertainment brands that is MAAC
and Arena Animation looking for
career progression.
• In association with Media and
Entertainment Skill Council we
conducted Biggest Virtual Job Fair
with over 1500+ registrations.
We will continue to leverage and build
on our online capabilities considering the
ongoing pandemic. Once the normalcy is
restored, the company plans to tap into
the Tier-2 and -3 markets to enhance
business presence in the upcountry
locations. The aspirations of students in
smaller cities and towns are no lesser
than the aspirations of students from
urban cities. Online and technology-
based learning is democratizing access to
quality education. Hence, with our deep
technology play we are well placed to
cater to the aspirations of the students
and professionals in Tier-2 and -3
locations through blended learning
model.
7. What would be your advice to
budding entrepreneurs who aspire to
venture into the e-learning space?
E-Learning Market size surpassed USD
250 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to
grow at an exponential CAGR of over
21% between 2021 and 2027.
So, if you are really interested in a
franchise or keen to make an
entrepreneurial debut in this segment,
this is as good a time as any. But the
bigger issue is not the timing of the
decision but really the decision itself. My
advice to the budding entrepreneurs or
franchise seekers is that –
(i)Evaluate the company on at least 3
parameters:
(a) Robustness of their business model
(b)Proven track record in franchise
business/ Scalability
(c) Prospects of the domain in which you
seeking to be a franchisee/ entrepreneur
ii) Define the 'I' in your ROI. Let it be
involvement instead of investment. In
other words, be prepared to be “hands
on”
iii) Be clear in your expectations - What
will you be bring to the table and what
do you expect from the franchisor/
investors
8. Where do you envision yourself and
your company to be in the long run
and what are your future goals?
In the words of Jack Welch, “Before you
are a leader, success is all about growing
yourself. When you become a leader,
success is all about growing others.”
Therefore, what I envision personally
and professionally is to mentor/ frientor
younger talent and pass on my years of
experience and in-depth understanding of
the business to drive Aptech Limited to a
bigger tomorrow of performance and
success.

14. While eLearning used to be merely an option for students,
particularly those who were unable to go to their designated
schools, the pandemic essentially required eLearning as a
practical and safe means of continuing education during lockdown or
quarantine. While most urbanized places can swiftly accept it, many
students may find it difficult to make the transition to eLearning due to
two primary factors: lack of/inadequate network and school faculty
unprepared to deal with the abrupt change.
The eLearning sector had been steadily growing even before the
coronavirus outbreak. However, as more and more companies invest in
virtual learning experiences for their employees, there is an accelerated
development in this sector.
Education has evolved from being a one-room, red-brick schoolhouse to
a globe-spanning industry poised for rapid growth. According to a joint
report of Google and KPMG, the Indian EdTech market was valued at
$247 million in 2016 and is expected to reach $2 billion by 2021. The
massive rise in the paid user base for online education platforms has
created a green turf for EdTech companies across geographies to change
the way teachers and students learn, forever.
This is where ByteXL comes into play. ByteXL is a US-based
experiential hybrid eLearning platform (Online and Instructor led) with
its headquarters based in Dallas, Texas (USA) and Hyderabad,
Telangana (India). The team at ByteXL assures expertise in career
tracks like Cybersecurity, Cloud/DevOps, AI/ML, and Full stack.
ByteXL is a B2B model catering to the engineering colleges in India,
with focus in south India currently and is expanding to other regions in
2021. One of the advantages that this platform offers is that it can reach
to any nook and corner of the country where there is access to the
internet and students have a mobile device. Read on to find out more
about ByteXL and how it can be useful to you in many different ways.
Following are the highlights of the interview:
Brief us about the featured person and their journey in the e-
learning space.
The Founders, Karun Tadepalli (Co-founder & CEO), Sricharan
Tadepalli (Chief Sales Officer) and Satish Yedulapally (Chief
Training Officer), while working as technology leaders often saw a
huge gap in the academic world and IT industry needs.
Sricharan Tadepalli our Chief Sales officer has over 18 years' experience
as an industry leader in IT services with expertise in retail and aviation
industries. Charan has experience in leading large teams and building
enterprise applications. He has also worked with various consulting
companies to hire new talent and has realized that the skill gap from
academia to the real world is huge. To solve this problem, Charan
joined hands with ByteXL. During this journey he became an advisor
and member of board of studies in various colleges/institutions that
have partnered with ByteXL.

15. What is the current industrial scenario
of the global e-learning market space?
Recent years have witnessed substantial
growth in hi-tech solutions in the field of
education. With the pandemic entering
the picture and the world undergoing a
seismic shift, digital transformation has
hit businesses, working professionals,
and individuals across industries. The
overwhelming increase in the use of
mobile devices during the massive
coronavirus outbreak has further
accelerated the need for leveraging
technology as a key enabler in making
education accessible for all.
How is technology complimenting e-
learning in the broader spectrum?
Quality education has certainly become
the need of the hour. Since students who
have inadequate basic skills are directly
promoted to advanced courses across the
spectrum of learning, there has been an
emerging need to strengthen their basics
with a solid foundation and enhance their
learning through career shipping
specialization courses. EdTech players in
the market are empowering modern-age
students to skill, upskill, and reskill
through multi-year informal training
programs and truly prepare them with the
skills of the future.
At ByteXL, we realized that to enable
India's youth to tap on new opportunities
and secure jobs, we need to make
learning accessible to all to give them the
competitive advantage. So, we
onboarded a team of highly qualified and
experienced technology leaders from
leading IT majors who work towards
helping young engineering students turn
challenges into opportunities through
self-learning courses and guided training.
How has the ongoing Covid-19
pandemic influenced the global e-
learning space?
The global crisis has set an alarm for
education regulators to adopt merit-based
corrective steps. The fact that there is a
possibility of lockdown and possible
restrictions in the future in the way we
live, play, and work cannot be denied.
Constantly exploring new ways to use
technology as a medium to improve
learning experiences is the only way to
remain agile and drive growth in the
education industry. A hybrid model for
institutions which is a mix of offline and
online training for students and teachers
will be the future of learning and
training. EdTech and digitization at large
will greatly supplement the education
process by offering personalized learning
solutions and new avenues for students to
engage with teachers. The demand for
online learning platforms like ByteXL is
likely to increase, as they provide
tremendous benefits to students to gain
adequate technical knowledge needed to
open a realm of job opportunities in the
IT industry.
Even before the onset of the coronavirus,
ByteXL was pushing for digitally
transforming the higher education
sphere. We realized that there was a skill-
gap between academia and industry and
that students lacked the technical skills
needed to be “job-ready”. To resolve this,
we started ByteXL with the mission to
enable today's youth to be future-ready
and become key contributors in the world
economy. Our platform focuses on
critical learning aspects of college
students to boost their career growth. We
collaborate with institutions and work
closely with students to develop key
skills in IT programming languages and

emerging technologies and make them

What would be your strategic
approach to scale your business in
2021 and beyond?
To meet the growing demand of a skilled
workforce in the IT industry, ByteXL is
dedicatedly working towards creating a
one-stop platform for students to develop
the required skills in the field of IT and
innovation. Students will undergo an
extensive learning program and gain the
confidence as well as the competitive
advantage to overcome challenges and
increase their chances of getting hired by
the world's leading tech companies.
What would be your advice to budding
entrepreneurs who aspire to venture
into the e-learning space?
eLearning or EdTech is a booming sector
and there is always need for education.
That means there is more demand than
supply. Even though there are more than
5000 EdTech startups in India the supply
is less compared to the need. In addition,
self-learning is still in evolution phase so
I would see lot of innovation required in
order to achieve maturity in EdTech.
Where do you envision yourself and
your company to be in the long run
and what are your future goals?
'To empower young aspirants to become
an indispensable part of the future
workforce by equipping them with
future-proof IT skills remains our focus
and we continue to work towards the
mission.' ByteXL is envisioning to
become leader in learning and skilling of
engineering graduates right from the
beginning of their course rather than
being a finishing school.

O
nline education has emerged as one of the most
lucrative options for learning and skill
development. Many young aspirants are shifting
their focus towards a platform that enables more than just a
holistic approach to education, which is, an environment
that contributes to their overall academic development.
With the advent of digitization, this approach has been
receiving quite the attention as we all know that youngsters
nowadays are more tech savvy and rely on technology for
meeting their daily needs of information and entertainment.
Some are using both the above-mentioned factors in
synergy and it has proved quite quintessential in garnering
knowledge at faster pace than normal or traditional ways of
learning at a brick-and-mortar institutional setup. But with
all the boom of technological advancements, digitization,
and smart devices at our disposal; it has become paramount
to understand how to leverage these resources in a
productive way! There have been many instances where the
power of technology and availability of information at
fingertips, has done more damage than something good. But
that is all due to the lack of awareness amongst people.
So, this article focuses on the essence of online learning to
create a healthy relationship with the concept of education
through Internet. There are different online platforms
available now that are catering to the dynamic educational
needs of the students and learners. Some of them are using
learning management systems (LMS) to impart knowledge
in these desperate times of the pandemic. This technology
has proved to be quite useful in rendering conceptual
information to be curated, maintained, and relayed in a
comprehensive way to the learner.
Essentials Revealed
As we all know that Covid-19 has emerged as a huge
challenge for the global education sector, a lot of institutes
are motivated to shift their teaching models to an online
platform. These platforms may have been their own or
outsourced one, but their functionality remained the same –
to impart knowledge to students with the institute’s values
and policies in mind.
Education Online
ing
18. A lot of students and their parents are facing problems in
channelising through the smart devices for learning
purposes. Many of them are new to the idea of online
learning and that is why, it is necessary to establish the
necessity of a basic idea of how online learning works and
its importance in this VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex,
and Ambiguous) world.
With the following points narrowed down to make people
understand the dynamics of online learning, you will find it
interesting to know why it is so important today:
1. Global Approach: Online learning connects teachers
and students from all over the world through a single
platform. It helps in imparting knowledge that is not just
limited to a single geographical location. Also, students
who opt for this approach not only share one platform,
but they share the vast knowledge of different culture
they bring together which truly makes the whole
experience a global classroom.
2. Flexible Learning Hours: An online learning platform
provides students with an option to utilize their time in
the most constructive way. Students get to learn at their
own free time and at their pace without any worries of
missing out on important lectures as they can watch the
recorded session later and take notes while doing so.
Plus, learners can also engage themselves in other skill
development activities rather than just academics as
they get to prioritize their active learning sessions with
their co-curriculars more smartly.
3. Enables Choice-based Learning: Students with the
online learning option get to choose subjects and fields
as per their interest. Many traditional institutes have an
already established system of enrolment for courses
where students have no room for experimentation, or
they do not get to explore varied subjects. But this is not
the case with online learning. Here, you have options to
select from various fields and different subjects as per
your liking and your professional goals. This entirely
makes your academic experience a complete package of
knowledge and satisfaction.
4. Creates a Dynamic Learning Environment: Online
learning helps students to expand their horizons and go
above and beyond in their learning experience. In some
of the online platforms, the courses are tailor-made
which assists the student at an individual level. It covers
his/her holistic growth that is personalized. Now, when
personalized approach is utilized in education, it has
been observed that the results are exemplary. This
approach directly affects students at the core level of
their understanding and enhances their scope of growth
exponentially.
5. Available with a Click of a Button: Online learning is
made simple with technology. Many of the students are
benefiting from the simple fact that they do not have to
go anywhere to learn what interests them, especially in
these troubling times when the novel coronavirus has
engulfed the whole world. Online learning is enabling a
contactless learning environment that is easy to access
no matter where you are. Even the doubts and concerns
of students are getting resolved online with specialized
LMS nowadays. Students and learners can get redressal,
or their concerns addressed and resolved in a short
amount of time online. This has helped in cutting the
traveling time as well as cost.
Online learning has emerged as a boon to our society and
has revolutionized the global education sector after the
pandemic. It has become crucial that every individual gets
on-board and on track with the latest technological updates
and start integrating themselves with digital platforms to
learn.
It has been made fairly clear that education is important and
so is getting it online. Hence, it would not be wrong to say
that online learning is here to stay for a long time and
people have to accept its existence and transform their
learning habits to the ever-growing digital space of
classrooms. Earlier, education was imparted under the
banyan trees. But now, it is the age for computers and
smartphones. As they say, as the time changes – so should
you!

20. In today's world, digital marketers are constantly
competing for their target audience's attention.
Marketers are publishing more content than ever
before in order to stand out. As a result, consumers are
bombarded with content from a variety of sources, and they
can't possible read everything they're interested in, even if
they wanted to. This necessitates a rethinking of how

training, brand awareness or building; or technical
documentation for your product's developer community.
Sometimes, your content may be your product! Clearly
Blue can help you with all these requirements.
Read along to know more about Clearly Blue in the
following interview.
Kindly mention in detail about your
company/institution.
Clearly Blue is a knowledge services and solutions firm
working with healthcare, education and B2B technology
companies. We have three verticals - learning, content
marketing and design.
Brief us about the featured person and his/her journey
in the e-learning space.
Clearly Blue was founded by Padmaja Narsipur, who
returned to India after working for Intel Corp. USA.
Previously a software engineer, she was trained in e-
learning instructional design by SAP Germany. She has
undertaken numerous content creation projects in the
learning and marketing spaces for some of the biggest
companies in the world before starting Clearly Blue.
Our vision is to sharply focus on delivering world-class
content in the form of innovative e-learning courses.
Clearly Blue is a full-services e-learning firm delivering
technology and management courses incorporating the
latest in learning and instructional design, graphics design,
2D animation and other forms of video creation,
gamification and other frontier methodologies.
Clearly Blue has a social mission to support women
professionals returning to work after a career break. Many
of our instructional designers are engineers who've returned
to work under this program.
What is the current scenario of the Indian e-learning
market space?
While content has become commoditized, the imperative to
learn, unlearn and re-learn has never been more important
as it is today. All industries are getting digitally disrupted.
Workforces must be made responsible, responsive and
st
ready with 21 century skills to be productive contributors.
EdTech companies are focusing majorly on skill-building
professionals with the latest tools and technologies.
However, engagement and completion rates of e-learning
courses are abysmal due to low interactivity and length of
courseware.
The need of the hour is to engage learners with a
combination of engaging content, lively communities,
interaction gamification and storytelling.
What is the current scenario of the global e-learning
market space?
Globally, the pandemic has acted as a forcing function for
employers as employees increasingly work from home.
Increasing automation of several roles and tasks means that
constant relearning is required – not in skills anymore, but
to develop an interdisciplinary broad-based set of
competencies that will help knowledge workers add value
in any role. These twin forces are vaulting e-learning to the
front and center of HR and L&D leaders' strategies to keep
their workforces sharp and ready.
How is technology complementing e-learning in the
broader spectrum?
Technology-based learning has been around for over two
decades. However, with immersive tech such as AR/VR and
interactive tech such as gamification platforms, tech-based
learning has become engaging. Aided by AI-driven learning
management systems, educators are now able to offer

22. personalized learning paths for learners based on their
aptitudes and interests, and map those learning paths to
what the industry is seeking. Recruiters can transparently
assess learners on such platforms and recruit from the best
and brightest.
How has the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic influenced the
global e-learning space?
As mentioned previously, the pandemic is a forcing
function giving e-learning the exponential turbocharge that
other industries have faced over the last two decades. We
are in the beginning of this disruption – education as we
know will change forever over the next decade.
What would be your strategic approach to scale your
business in 2021 and beyond?
Clearly Blue is looking at providing holistic upskilling to
modern-day workforces, beyond mere skills and
certifications. The need of the day is to build T-shaped
individuals who offer a sharp specialization along with
broad communication and collaboration skills. We have a
vision to help enterprises build such professionals who will
bring tangible value addition to their employers.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
who aspire to venture into the e-learning space?
This is a very exciting space to be in currently. I would
advise budding entrepreneurs to keep the learners at the
front and centre and build disruptive solutions that will
make learning immersive, engaging and fun.
Any other unique program by Clearly Blue?
th
We have launched SmarTEN, a mobile app to help 10
Standard students revise key concepts in just 20 minutes per
day and ace the board exams. SmarTEN is being launched
next month after a successful beta release.
Clearly Blue also has launched SmartStart, a mobile
learning platform for professionals. We are starting a pilot
with a major enterprise customer this month. We will
announce details shortly.
Where do you envision yourself and your company to be
in the long run and what are your future goals?
The vision to equip modern-day professionals has already
been elaborated. Within 3-5 years we aim to bring this
vision to anyone who wants to learn.
How is e-learning going to shape the education industry
worldwide?
As Singularity University founder Peter Diamandis
mentions in his keynote “The future is faster than you
think”, we are entering an era of abundance from an era of
scarcity – abundance in energy, data, information, and yes,
in learning. E-learning is instrumental in democratizing
education as we know it. This dramatic change has been
brought about by cheaper devices (mobile phones, tablets),
cheaper data, cheaper memory and the content creator
economy.
st
As we step into the third decade of the 21 century, content
creators are everywhere – in YouTube playlists, short
WhatsApp videos, sending out Substack newsletters,
opining on Twitter threads and posting visual content on
Instagram. Content has been commoditized. So, one might
almost sing the elegy for e-learning courses.
Yet, the need for a guiding hand has never been felt more
by learners: for expert mentors, coaches and teachers who
can help guide learners' paths and be available for feedback,
insights and clarifications. Man is a social animal –
throwing a bunch of videos at him and asking him to 'self-
learn' is a sure-shot recipe for disaster. Learners want a
supportive community, they want constant engagement and
they need feedback to learn, to thrive, to grow.
This leads me to make a 'safe' prediction: the days of
gargantuan video-driven courses with multiple choice
assessments are over. The future belongs to engaging,
immersive, community-supported, cohort-based special
purpose e-learning with all the bells and whistles.
Collaborative mode? Check. Online games, competitions,
puzzles and leaderboards? Check. Immersive AR/VR aided
learning? Double check.
E-learning is here to stay, whether as a supportive
addendum to bricks and mortar learning for schools and
colleges, or in a pure digital avatar for busy professionals. It
will mimic real-life more and more. Our grandchildren will
look back at classroom-only cohorts as quaint
anachronisms.

3. What is the current industrial scenario of the Indian
e-learning market space?
India is the second-largest market for e-learning, preceded
by the United States (US). Most edupreneurs ventured into
the e-learning industry and started providing various ways
to learn online. Currently, India stands at 247 million USD
of income through e-learning and is estimated to grow 8x
within the next five years.
In the next five years, India will approximately reach 1.96
billion USD. The number of users of e-learning in India has
increased to 9.5 million and is expected to reach more users
by 2025.
4. What is the current industrial scenario of the global e-
learning market space?
E-learning has been a part of the informal education system
for quite some time now. But nowadays, it is catering to the
needs of both the education systems. The revolution in
telecommunication due to the interference of the internet is
why the e-learning business is on the rise.
It has become so popular mostly because of the affordable
digital devices. The extensive use of multimedia has played
an important role in increasing people's engagement with e-
learning. Many factors collectively power the global e-
learning market. Factors like economic development,
demand for skilling or upskilling, technological
advancements, etc.

25. Technology is what drives online learning platforms. To
make e-learning platforms successful, the technology must
have all software and features in place. The programming
languages, Learning Management Systems, Content
Management Systems, etc., are the technology used today.
These make sure the learner and the instructors have the
best e-learning experience.
Not just this, but the rapid development in technology has
taken the e-learning experience to a whole new level. The
introduction of machine learning, virtual reality, augmented
reality in e-learning gives a smooth user experience to the
learners as well as the instructor.
6. How has the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic influenced
the global e-learning space?
Even before the pandemic hit the world, the demand for e-
learning was already growing. Many educational
institutions had already adopted this educational
technology. COVID-19 just boosted the use of e-learning.
Due to the pandemic and lockdown, educational institutes
were shut worldwide, making online classes a must. In a
way, COVID-19 has positively impacted the e-learning
space, as you can see a dramatic increase in its usage.
7. What would be your strategic approach to scale your
business in 2021 and beyond?
In 2021, since there are second and third waves of COVID-
19 hitting us already, we would like to plan accordingly.
Every day comes with a new challenge or a trend, be it e-
learning, online shopping, or software development. We
like to make ourselves ready for the unforeseen, where our
latest insights and industry experts come to the rescue.
Knowing our customers better and making something for
their needs is the goal. This is something we would like to
stick to forever. Our customers help us scale our business
and focusing on their needs is a must.
8. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
who aspire to venture into the e-learning space?
Do it. The online learning market is predicted to grow
around $350 Million by 2025 so venturing into this space is
a good idea.
E-learning has become a part of people's everyday lives,
especially with schools being shut. Providing quality
education on your website/app will always keep you on top.
If entrepreneurs or edupreneurs can provide education
online without any complex features involved, they can
easily excel in the e-learning sector.

26. Nothing bums a new e-learner or an instructor more than
technological glitches. Online learners cannot learn easily
and get distracted a lot if they are encountering technical
difficulties. Ensuring that your e-learning platform has no
technical glitches from time to time is a must-have in the e-
learning space.
9. Where do you envision yourself and your company in
the long run, and what are your future goals?
Staying at the top of our game is the goal. Who does not
like to stay on top, right? So, we constantly focus on
learning and developing. We always keep ourselves updated
on the latest trends in the market to up our game and rapidly
grow by creating advanced software for our clients.
Further, we are highly motivated to provide our customers
with quality work, earn goodwill across the states, and
expand our business.
We strive hard to maintain our quality of work. We like to
hear a positive response from the customers as well. The
positive response from our clients is what motivates us and
pushes us to move forward in this industry.
10. How is e-learning going to shape the education
industry worldwide?
Technology has been forever influencing how education is
delivered. Online learning has completely changed the face
of education. The classrooms are no longer referred to as a
physical location. Students can comfortably learn from their
choice of place and in any comfortable environment. E-
learning has changed and will keep changing the ways
students think about education.
In the past decade, the demand for e-learning has increased.
But during the COVID-19 pandemic and post-COVID, it
has increased rapidly. The internet penetration rate in India
is estimated to reach above 55% by 2025. This makes the
digitization of education a priority for our government.
Indian universities and colleges are now permitted to offer
more than 20% of degrees online. This is a huge change
brought on by e-learning in the education industry of India.
Using this opportunity to their advantage, many new e-
learning portals have shown up. Many edtech companies
are now offering learning management resources to top this
change, including blended learning, 3D, and DIY kits,
along AI-based interactive learning to provide an unrivaled
experience.
Bidding farewell to traditional teaching, e-learning has
completely reshaped the education industry. In the future,
new methods and technology will keep on adding to aid the
technical issues faced by teachers and learners.
This shift towards the adoption of digital learning isn't a
temporary trend. It is here to stay and comes with long-term
consequences. E-learning can be easily regarded as the new
normal future of education. E-learning is all set to empower
the youth of India by providing millions of possibilities in
the digital education industry.
JUNE 2021 | 26 | www.insightssuccess.in
29. During these challenging times of the pandemic,
there is a common term we often hear- ‘the new
normal’. The new normal has also become a part of
the education sector with the use of online learning tools.
With the pandemic changing things gradually, educational
institutions are adopting new ways of learning. They are
opting for online learning platforms to continue with the
process of educating students. The new normal has now
transformed the concept of education as educational
institutions are now going online to complete the courses in
time and to conduct in-depth sessions for the students.
In today’s situation, digital learning has become essential
for students and institutions across the globe. Although, for
many institutions, it is a new way of education, however the
current scenario demands for the adoption of this process.
Online learning is now not only applicable to academics,
but also to carry out extra-curricular activities, and the trend
may also continue in the times to come.
However, before implementing online learning methods, it
is important to gather information about its positives and
negatives. If institutions decode and understand the
positives and negatives of online learning, it will help them
to create efficient strategies to deliver effective lessons, and
ensure uninterrupted learning for the students.
Advantages of Online Learning
Online learning provides the teachers and students with a
plethora of advantages which have been mentioned below:
•Enhanced Productivity: With online learning, teachers
can deliver lessons to the students with efficiency.
Equipped with a variety of tools such as videos, audio
files, PDFs, and podcasts, it allows teachers to deliver
extensive sessions. They can also extend their lesson plan
beyond the traditional text book and make each classroom
session more impactful.
•Flexibility of Time and Place: With online learning,
students can attend their classes from any place. It breaks
geographical barriers, and teachers can reach out to a
more extensive network of students. Online classroom
sessions can be recorder, archived, can be shared many
times, and can also be used for future reference. Students
can comfortably access the learning materials any time
and at any place.
•Financially Affordable: Online learning also provides
the advantage of reduced financial expenditures. It is not
as expensive as physical
d-19
JUNE 2021 | 29 | www.insightssuccess.in
Education in Pandemic
30. 03 | MM 2021 | www.insightssuccess.in
learning because it eliminates various costs such as student
transportation, electricity and infrastructural expenses,
maintenance costs, and so on.
•Better Student Attendance: Online classes can be
attended from any location. Hence, there are fewer
chances that students would miss out on lessons.
•Applicable on Numerous Learning Styles: Every
student has their own way of learning and grasping
different concepts. Learning styles may vary
between students- some may be visual learners,
while others may be good at learning by listening to
audio content. Similarly, some students are solo
learners and distracted when they study in large
groups, while there are many who learn better in
group studies.
Online learning provides personalized learning
options and a plethora of resources. It provides the
scope of creating the perfect learning environment,
which suits the requirements of every student.
Disadvantages of Online Learning
Just like every other technological innovation, online
learning also has many disadvantages on the flipside.
Some of them are as follows:
•Problem of Focusing on the Screen: During online
classes, many students struggle with focusing on the
screen for a longer span of time. Moreover, since the
classes are taking place online, there are chances that
the students get distracted and engage in social
media and other websites. Therefore, teachers should
make sure that the classes are crisp, interactive, and
engaging so that the students stay focused on the
lesson.
•Complications Related to Technology: Online
classes may also face the problem of poor internet
connectivity. While internet connection is at the
disposal of almost everyone nowadays, many
smaller cities and towns do not have consistent
internet connection or decent speed. If students or
teachers do not have consistent internet connection,
then the teaching–learning process may get
disrupted. This will break the continuity and will be
detrimental to the education process.
•Students feel Isolated: During regular classroom
sessions, students get to interact with each other and
learn a lot. However, online classes do not provide
the scope of physical interaction between the
students, their peers, and the teachers. This
eventually creates a sense of isolation within the
students and can be detrimental for their learning. To
overcome such issues, school authorities should
provide alternate forms of communication between
the teachers and the students. This may include
online messages, emails, video conferencing, and so
on. This will provide the scope of face-to-face
interaction and overcome the sense of isolation.
•Screen Time Management: Many parents are
concerned that their children may develop many
health issues since they spend so many hours staring
the screen. The increased screen time and prolonged
exposure to a computer or mobile phone screen is
one of the biggest concerns and disadvantages of
online learning. Students may develop ailments such
as back and headaches due to staying hunched in
front of the screen for a long time, or because of
staring at the screen, which may affect their eyes.
Online education has emerged as a necessity during
the times of the covid-19 pandemic. It definitely
provides numerous benefits to the teachers and the
students. However, there are various disadvantages
of online learning, which need to be taken into
account to ensure successful educational activities in
the online classroom.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were
to live forever,” these words from Mahatma Gandhi
have been a motivation for individuals who want to
keep learning, who want to explore, experience, and grow in
their career and life. However, not all professionals can have
access to conventional means of learning mainly due to time
constraints. That’s where eLearning platforms came into the
picture.
