Origin of Edutechs
The goal of Edutechs is to put excellent learning management software in every classroom across the country. The CEO initiated the startup idea since he saw the potential of digital education in the international market and wanted to incorporate the system into Bangladesh too. The outdated syllabus that the students of this country have been stuck with along with traditional manual learning.
Students were unaware that education might be digital, potentially resulting in a paradigm shift in their learning experience. Whereas, students around the globe were already adapted to using different LMS software at ease which enhanced their quality of learning. And this is how Edutechs was born, with Mohammad Ekram as the CEO, along with his co-founders: Farhim Warith Zaman, the CBO, and the CTO, Nafis Abrar.
In less than a year, Edutechs has onboarded over 300 teachers and over 10,000 students to their platform. In addition, they work with over 35 educational institutions. Edutechs intends to build an app with the current funds that will allow more teachers and students to join their digital education revolution.
