From teaching about 2,000 Common Aptitude Test (CAT) aspirants in auditoriums in 2008 to conducting math workshops for over 20,000 K-12 (kindergarten to class 12) students in stadiums in 2014, to having about 2 lakh paid users on a mobile device, Byju’s has grown from being a regular coaching class for IIM aspirants to a personalised mobile learning app for school students that has been downloaded more than 5 million times.
In just about six to seven years, Bengaluru-based Byju’s has managed to garner more students than any other offline coaching class; a scale they might have achieved partly because of their online model. “Our videos [each 15-20 minutes long] have a combination of the best teachers visualising and contextualising everything they teach with the help of an in-house content and media team,” says founder and CEO Byju Raveendran, 36, who started taking CAT coaching classes in 2007; later in 2011, he started Think & Learn Pvt Ltd, the parent company of Byju’s.

That's fantastic to know about the Byju's' progress in Indian education system. Byju's can also adopt a good eLearning management system like 'Instancy Learning Platform' to deliver the different type of learning content online which is build in Cloud and supports all devices. I hope Instancy platform will work and helps Byjus to grow faster and smarter.
