Mayank Kumar, Chair at IEC said, “The rising popularity of blended learning has given India’s Edtech ecosystem a strong growth lever. Students, parents, universities and other key stakeholders are getting a hang of the new norm and this further presents an opportunity for Edtechs to leverage their tech-enabled learning mechanism and support the evolving requirements of the new Bharat. Such developing circumstances have also encouraged IEC to further safeguard the interest of its customers so as to maintain communication and messaging parity. In a span of 1 year of its operations, IEC has proactively addressed multiple challenges, institutionalised strong checkpoints (2-Tier Redressal Mechanism & IGRB), and resolved 95%+ customer complaints while also partnering with key industry stakeholders to streamline advertisements and brand communications. What earlier was an option is now a necessity to understand the gap and therefore, IEC will continue to encourage customers to share their feedback on the kind of learning or services they’re receiving or would expect for enhanced growth. IEC is moving strongly with its agenda of making online education a reality for every Indian household and hence, higher participation from entrepreneurs in 2023 and wider transparency for the holistic growth of customers and brands are expected.”
