What is the problem the social business is solving?

India has the largest K-12 education system in the world, with approximately 260 million children enrolled in 1.5 million schools. While near universalization of access has been achieved at the primary level, attainment of quality English language education remains a critical issue, due to inadequate teacher training and lack of focus on life skills. English is the language of business in India and command of English is important to secure jobs in white collar industries and climb up the employability ladder.

How does the social business solve this problem?

Ignis Careers is caters towards solving these challenges by offering an ancillary curriculum to Affordable Private Schools and Government Schools called the English Language & Life Skills (ELSL) program.

This program includes tool-based teacher training; workbook content; class participatory activities through student-centric learning; and encouraging students to think critically. The ELSL program shifts focus from rote memorization of academic content to understanding, and in the long-term, it prepares students for future employment where a strong grasp on English language and life skills is important. In the medium term, it also improves their year-on-year learning outcomes and test results.

How does the social business generate revenue?

Ignis charges students an annual fee per academic year at prices which are 60-70% lower than its market counterparts, making it affordable for the BoP students to have access to quality education and be prepared for long-term success in their careers.
