These Indian Edtech Companies are Shaping the Future of AI & Robotics

Indian edtech startups and NITI Aayog are encouraging children to become entrepreneurs.

India's edtech companies have unleashed their full potential in 2020. NITI Aayog, which concerns itself with developing a state-of-the-art resource center to promote research and innovation for the Indian government, initiated a program to enlighten young minds with entrepreneurship in 2016. Known as The Atal Mission Innovation (AIM), it aims at encouraging children to have a problem-solving mindset in school that can result in entrepreneurship in the future.

While the COVID-19 pandemic, since 2020, has hampered the Indian education system by shifting it from on-premises to online, AIM could not be enforced to its maximum in schools. Despite the challenges, the need for practical learning has to be maintained for future adults.

As edtech companies have taken a lead by digitizing education for the modern era, they have taken the stance to set up Atal Tinkering Labs in schools along with other services necessary for the budding 'kidpreneurs'. With the availability of these services, students can experience 21st-century technologies like IoT, 3D printing, AI, and Robotics.
