Think & Learn sets up India's Biggest Virtual Classroom

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 14, 2012 - Every weekend in Bangalore, around 1200 participants gather in a classroom to get trained for Common Admission Test (CAT) by Byju Raveendran, a CAT topper, National Mathematics Olympiad winner and founder of Think & Learn Pvt. Ltd., the parent company of Byju's Classes.  Common Admission Test (CAT) is a computer based test  conducted in India and is conducted by one of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), who  use the test as an important component in selecting students for the business administration programs.  CAT tests Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation, Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning.  Over 10,000 students simultaneously attend the CAT coaching  class by Byju across the 21 centers in India, via satellite, making this the biggest virtual classroom of India.

The phenomenal growth of Byju's Classes is due to the unwavering dedication of Byju to teach differently. After getting a seat in IIM, he could have chosen to join the PGDM program and pursue a  lucrative corporate career. Instead he became an entrepreneur to set up Think & Learn, whose mission is to  change the way people "think and learn".
Think & Learn has been growing exponentially with 200 students in 2008 to over 20,000 in 2012. It has tied up with the best trainers for each subject of most of the competitive tests, including CAT, UPSC, engineering entrance, GMAT, GRE, GATE, campus recruitment and even formal school education. With a belief that his new learning models should reach out to even more students, Think & Learn has started redefining the contours of content delivery. Now, Byju's profoundly powerful lectures are being delivered through VSAT centers and plans are firmly in place to launch first of their kind educational tablets, which will have both pre-loaded and adaptive content as well as tests. "Good teachers cannot be at every place all the time. So we believe in providing the best platform to them to broadcast their teaching as widely as possible. Every student deserves the best teacher. This is our philosophy," declared Byju.  

Think & Learn has recently been awarded the prestigious CNBC-TV18-CRISIL emerging India award for pioneering work in the education sector. It is the youngest organization across categories to win this award. "Good content, when delivered through the right carrier, speaks for itself. This is the reason why our students become our brand ambassadors," said Byju, whose organization gets 60% of its enrollments through reference. It is hardly surprising then that the Facebook page of Byju's Classes has more than 2,00,000 'likes', making it the most liked Educational Services company in India.
