The Indian EdTech Startups market was valued at $5.13 billion and is projected to reach $29 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of over 19 percent from 2023 to 2028. Currently, there are two types of colleges in the country, one belongs to INDIA which mainly consists of Tier I colleges having resources, technology, and funds, and another belongs to BHARAT consisting mainly of Tier II and III colleges having limited resources, funds and no technology.

An increasing number of students from BHARAT (Tier II and III colleges) are in constant search of EdTech platforms that not only promote inclusivity but also bridge the knowledge disparities that exist between them and students from tier-I institutions. Standing out among its peers is TechnoSpectra EdTech, an innovative startup committed to empowering BHARAT (Tier II and III college) students with strong local ecosystem and academia including universities, colleges, students and industries including skill institutes and local companies at one platform.

The startup has dedicated itself to fostering strong collaborations with universities and colleges. The platform has achieved significant milestones by successfully onboarding four state universities in top 13 from Maharashtra. Its strategic expansion
