Anubhav Mishra, co-founder, ZuAI

“We started ZuAI with a simple vision of enabling all students to have access to a personal tutor 24×7 and make learning interactive and personalized so that they can learn at their own pace. It is seen that students with tutors are 10 times more likely to outperform their peers – however not everyone has access or the means to have a tutor. Only technologies such as AI can solve this at scale and ensure that no child is left behind. ZuAI’s mission is to enable an anytime, anywhere, personalized tutor for all children and help them achieve academic excellence regardless of their backgrounds and the school they go to.”

Sanjay Swamy, managing partner, Prime Venture Partners

Early pilots have been extremely successful and we are confident that AI-enabled tutors will pave the way for better learning outcomes, finally fulfilling the promise of Edtech.”
