| | December 20204EditorialIf there's one sector that continues to see extraordinary growth during these unprecedented times, it is education. With coronavirus locking down Indian cities since the end of March, online education and e-learning platforms have seen astonishing adoption and exponential growth. That's not surprising, considering that a whopping 1.5 billion students were grounded almost overnight as cities locked down and schools closed.BYJU'S, India's earliest and most valuable Edtech startup, saw 7.5 million new users on its platform since it started offering free access to content. The time spent on its app increased from 70 minutes pre-lockdown to 91 minutes during the lockdown. The story is the same for other edtech players in the arena. Unacademy recorded 1.4 billion watch minutes while Toppr saw 100 percent growth in free user engagement in March.However, out of the 14 startups, at least 9 have raised seed funding, which means investors are willing to bet on early stage startups that can prove their worth during the coronavirus pandemic.Online education has seen a massive boost since lockdown. Almost every other online platform has opened up its content for free making it accessible for all students. Even in a challenging environment, edtech is expected to remain a very hot sector of VC investment, said a KPMG report.This edition focuses on those startups who are remodelling our education segment with exciting new technologies and solutions.
