Building an Online Kaksha

Over two years before Nishant and I came together at AngelHack Delhi to build our first accessibility tool, I started an edtech company called Class Rebels, with a mission to “study, but with difference.” We wanted to build a platform that empowers students with the best-quality study material online.

Study, but with a difference

While revisiting our mistakes, we realized that since Class Rebels already has one of the best curated collections of copyright-free study material, we can use Oswald technology to make it accessible. Imagine an online classroom that has access to the best-quality education content, and is also accessible to students with visual impairment, learning disorders, etc. And that’s just what we’re going to build.
