Edtech startup by IIT alumni is providing extracurricular activities to engage children
Started in 2020, Gurugram startup KidEx is helping children participate in different extracurricular activities and hobbies online.
For over a year now, children have been cooped up inside their homes with little social interaction or outdoor play due to the pandemic. Experts say outdoor play is vital for a child’s overall development and learning. It is also important to hone and encourage different kinds of talent for their early development.
With an idea to ensure children experience multiple aspects of their talent early in life, IIT Kharagpur friends Amritanshu Kumar ('07) and Kapish Saraf ('08) founded edtech startup KidEx in March 2020 in Gurugram.
KidEx is a data-driven digital platform that offers classes and conducts competitions for children such as extracurriculars, co-curricular activities, life skills, etc., to enable their holistic development.
Amritanshu says, over 1,000 schools and 50,000 children have joined the platform till now. The startup claims to be growing at 200 percent year-on-year. (Read More)
