Testimonials
“Our business model underwent a restructuring in the overall approach, and definitely for the better. Before NSRCEL, our focus was on establishing brick-and-mortar learning centers. This had enabled us reach out to a very small number of Dyslexic children - less than 200 in 3+ years. Post incubation, the organization has focused on digitizing its programs. We are setting up an online Learning Assistant built for multi-sensorial learning, replete with assistive technology and backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning. This has been a huge leap for us, helping us scale and grow our reach exponentially, while also catering to the specific needs of each child with the support of AI and ML.”
