To improve the English proficiency skills of students, mGuru, a digital learning company in India, has announced its plan to register at least a million users by the end of next year. mGuru provides online facility to learn something new and innovative for all the students and for anyone who is willing to learn something can access it by registering themselves. mGuru mobile app has more than thousands of students connected with it. Firstly, they target people who are beyond the age of students and feel shame to go to the colleges and schools and to sit with young people, so mGuru wanted them to learn and at least have basic knowledge about everything so that they’ll not be termed as uneducated. Now the company is planning to launch a 300 student pilot project in a school situated in Parel in association with NGO’s. mGuru also has a vision to capture 10 lakh user base in India over the next year, the 20% will be targeted only for Maharashtra, this is based on the literacy rate. Currently, mGuru has 40% of its total user base settled in Maharashtra only and every day, helping more than thousands of people to learn.

Mr. Adam Khorakiwala, Founder and CEO of mGuru has mentioned that “mGuru was born out of an alarming insight that only one in four of the Class V students can read Basic English sentences. With a strong belief that technology can be used effectively to solve social problems, we wish to address this scenario with mGuru. We believe that through this learning platform we would be able to transform the English language skills of millions of students in the country and reach out to people who are unaware about the technology and about the services they are providing.”

App was developed by the experts and went through various testing and development over a period of eight months. mGuru is designed for the people who want to learn from the ground level and for Indian audiences who have problem in communicating. The learning platform provides engaging stories with activities, speaking and listening exercises, and a comprehensive phonics and an early learners program for students. The entire learning path is arranged in such a way that, any child can develop interest by watching the interactive tutorials and basic language. mGuru has recently awarded with the 2017 NASSCOM Social Innovation Prize in Education.
