The market size for co-curricular and extra-curricular learning is estimated to be $10 billion in India alone and around $200 billion globally
NEW DELHI: With most schools still shut and learning largely online, a bunch of edtech startups are offering extra-curricular courses to engage children and make them future-ready. Going beyond the traditional test preparation and online tutoring programmes, these courses offer dance and music, chess, yoga, quizzing and make-up courses, and even provide opportunity to learn from celebrities in respective fields.
Kyt, started by former Uber Eats India head Bhavish Rathod and wife Tripti Ahuja in June, offers workshops and courses in dance, music, chess, musical instruments, yoga, public speaking and creative writing for children between 5-15 years.
“Education is incomplete without extracurricular pursuits. In fact, we believe that supporting a child’s inclination to learn new things aren’t “additional” or extra – they are essential to all-round development. Nurturing interests outside the world of academia equips children with essential life skills,” said Rathod.
