Rapid expansion plans on the horizon to the UK, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand!
India, 08 September 2021:
Leading Indian ed-tech company, Lido Learning, has launched its flagship Coding program in the US & Canada, while significantly ramping its Middle East operations. The company currently has a team of 50 working on its international businesses. With its entry into the western market, the company has also launched its unique ‘Pair Learning’ methodology, with just 2 students in a class to enable deeper student-teacher interactions, focused learning, and real-time problem-solving. In just two years, the company has swiftly risen to prominence in the virtual learning and online tuitions space in India, and now offers classes in Maths, Science, English, and Coding for students from KG to Grade 12 in CBSE and ICSE.
In recent years, there’s been a radical shift in favour of online learning in the world of education, leading to the phenomenal rise and popularity of personalised e-learning solutions like the ones offered by Lido. The current global ed-tech market is valued at USD 89.49 billion dollars. Lido Learning also plans to expand its offerings to the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia in early 2022. Plans are also in place to introduce Maths, Science, and English in all the geographies it enters. This decision to expand aggressively comes on the heels of remarkable success at home. Lido clocked 87% average student attendance in the last quarter, an unprecedented number in the online tuitions space.
So far, the company has focused primarily on delivering quality education through carefully calibrated interventions, such as a low student-teacher ratio, visually rich curriculum for deeper retention, and use of gamification to encourage positive learning outcomes in students. This focus continues to be core to their International offerings as well. The curriculum for Lido’s international courses will be mapped to region-specific syllabus, much like its CBSE and ICSE-based courses in India. In addition, Lido will soon be extending its 1:1 class offerings outside the country as well.
Sahil Sheth, CEO and Founder, Lido Learning, said, “Lido Learning has seen encouraging response in our home country, and several early adopters have appreciated our product to be timely, more so during the pandemic when children needed additional support with their school lessons. Inspired by the responses we have received we are keen to extend this strong offering to students across the globe so that they all can learn, grow and transform into future leaders. Expanding into the US and Canada with coding as the primary skill on Lido Learning allows the company to take the expertise of coding tutors in India, connecting them to markets that are hungry for this skill. It is a win-win situation for all stakeholders involved.
He further added, “We firmly believe that coding is the language of the future, and a strong foundation in coding can help steer students on the path to future success. For developed countries like the US and Canada we are starting with Coding since we have observed that it helps build essential life skills such as logical reasoning, critical analysis, and creative thinking. Every student, regardless of what they ultimately choose to pursue in the future, stands to benefit from honing these skills. It is heartening to note that parents around the world are recognising the importance of coding in the continuous development of their children from a young age to make them future ready, in addition to academic excellence”
