  EduKart operates an enrollment service that aggregates lists of courses from physical education institutes rather than delivering courses itself. The platform claims to host over 2,000 courses from more than 90 education centers, spanning K12, coaching, and graduate and undergraduate programs. EduKart also works with corporate clients to assess staff learning needs and has begun discussions with international institutions about joining the platform. The service provides alumni networking, job opportunities and a student support team to assist with course issues. The company has built a learning management system and intends to help institutions transition to online delivery as the market shifts. EduKart is aiming to enroll 100,000 students per year within the next three years and is planning to raise a larger round in the next six to nine months to scale its online efforts. EduKart operates an online learning platform where every course is paid (priced from $20 to $2,400) and open enrollment lets students begin immediately with phone and email support. Courses are created by EduKart’s content team and through partnerships with local universities, and support staff are paid subject experts who assist students by phone, email or text. Content today is mostly slideshows with some videos, documents and interactive materials; students complete assessments between exercises and must pass a live, video-based final exam in front of EduKart teachers. The company is focused on the Indian and broader developing-market opportunity driven by rising broadband and smartphone adoption. Near-term roadmap items include building a mobile platform and working more closely with publishers to create customized content. EduKart is also pursuing strategic partnerships with foreign universities in the U.S. to bring accredited programs to Indian students.
