While in the last 2 years of Covid, we’ve seen both the dramatic rise and fall of several Edtech startups in India. In today’s episode, we talk with Manan Khurma, Founder at Cuemath.
During our conversation Manan, shared how building an Education venture is not like building on a rocket ship but building with trust.
He has been building Cuemath for almost the last decade and he highlights that unlike the common notion or FOMO behind going online being an Edtech venture, right before Covid, only 5% of their entire revenue came via Online classes.
His first question to any new entrepreneur looking to enter the Edtech space is if they are ready to give at least two decades to build their educational venture.
Further during the episode Manan shares their views on using performance marketing in edtech, building trust for students and parents, and much more.
