Its ironical that a global pandemic that has squeezed people to the confines their homes has unleashed vast spaces for Edtech to flourish, finally.  The catalyzing of tech for education has actually moved the umpteen tech enabled products and services from drawing boards and pipelines to releases. All that talk on AI enabled adaptive learning, customization, use of engaging interactive visual content seem now a reality.  

Having said that the impact on offline education is very high and no foreseeable breakthrough in Edtech can wish them away but this truly a cataclysmic moment as can get for Edtech. Clearly, technology needs to play a role here to ensure continuity in learning and blended learning is here to stay.

One trend that we are seeing during the COVID situation is the growing partnerships between traditional education players and edtech companies. Now is when we all know that blended is the way forward.

The professional world too got a shake up of sorts with lockdown and WFH. The need to reinvent from both the hirer and the hiree triggered an uptick in up-skilling.
