The Indian education and skilling ecosystem has a huge role to play in accelerating India’s aim to be a $5 trillion economy by 2025. This will further accelerate job creation and put India on the fast-track to greater economic growth.

In light of the same, TiE Delhi-NCR is hosting the 6th Annual India Education Entrepreneurship Day (IEED) on 30th August, 2019. IEED is a leadership conference that looks at setting conversations around Vision 2025 for the industry. With an audience of 300+, #IEED brings together the brightest minds of the country with ideas focused on a wide range of subjects. It aims at initiating conversations that matter to the education and skilling sector, and have the power to foster learning and inspiration.

From busting myths on the jobs ecosystem to evaluating the role of tech platforms in transforming the jobs ecosystem, the event will see participation from key industry leaders.

The event will also give a platform to edutech startups to network and build more business opportunities.

“The education sector has the potential to steer a country into a prosperous, tech-enabled future. Recognizing its importance, multiple new-age educational startups are cropping up across the country. Yet, there is a lack of cohesion in terms of quality and clear business models to sustain in the ever-changing environment. IEED will present these startups with a platform where they can exchange new ideas and gain a wider perspective about the flourishing education sector. We believe that creating an enabling environment for startups in the education sector through this platform will go a long way in preparing them amply for the future,” said Geetika Dayal, Executive Director – TiE Delhi-NCR.

The event will see entrepreneurs, mentors and influencers like Vineet Kaul (VP, Paytm Education), Sandeep Sinha (Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Lumis Partners), Akshay Chaturvedi (Founder, Leverage Edu), Ayush Jaiswal (Co-Founder, Pesto), Charu Noheria (Co-Founder, 3RDFlix), Jairaj Bhattacharya (Founder, ConveGenius) and Kinner Sacchdev (Co-Founder, Knorish), among others.
