The year 2021 remained dedicated to the rise of edtech. As the world tried striving out of the lockdown affect, people went more digital and edtech enjoyed the constantly increasing traffic. The sudden growth caught investors’ eyes too, and they loosened their pockets to cut a slice of the pie. As the acceptance grew in the urban India, some entrepreneurs saw the need and potential that tier 2 markets contained for the longest. While others switched from e-learning to education support and re-engineered the models like education counselling and dedicated exam training to focus on the much ignored facets of the crippled education system. The overall holistic growth in the field of education in India has been benefitting all of the stakeholders in the field, and some of the players are indeed on the watchlist for the year 2022.
