Next Education, a Hyderabad based
learning solutions provider for K-12 students, has acqui-hired Gurugram based
education technology startup Xolvr. This is the company’s third acquisition in
the past 12 months.
Xolvr connects students from grades
six to 12 with undergraduate IIT students, who don the hat of a tutor and help
them with students such as Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science among
others, through video conferencing and using a shared whiteboard. This acqui-hire
will add a new element to LearnNext by offering students with a platform to
access over 50 tutors.
The move, which is aimed at adding
a human element to the product, will be launched in July next year. Students
who subscribe to LearnNext will have the option of taking one-to-one sessions
with tutors on the platform. Next Education previously acquired the robotics
lab programme RoboLAB from ThinkLABS and InOpen Technologies, which gives the
company access to their computer science product.
