okay so when you think about education
okay so when you think about education and India and in most emerging markets
and India and in most emerging markets
and India and in most emerging markets sadly it’s hard not to think about DES
sadly it’s hard not to think about DES
sadly it’s hard not to think about DES cause you know growing up the benzene
cause you know growing up the benzene
cause you know growing up the benzene ring and its many moods I just found
ring and its many moods I just found
ring and its many moods I just found them super high maintenance so I decided
them super high maintenance so I decided
them super high maintenance so I decided to have a love affair with physics
to have a love affair with physics
to have a love affair with physics instead turns out the Indian exam system
instead turns out the Indian exam system
instead turns out the Indian exam system didn’t agree with my choices so what
didn’t agree with my choices so what
didn’t agree with my choices so what happened was I ended up in a situation
happened was I ended up in a situation
happened was I ended up in a situation where what I enjoyed learning I couldn’t
where what I enjoyed learning I couldn’t
where what I enjoyed learning I couldn’t give enough time to and I kind of lost
give enough time to and I kind of lost
give enough time to and I kind of lost the plot on the stuff that I actually
the plot on the stuff that I actually
the plot on the stuff that I actually didn’t enjoy learning I could not bring
didn’t enjoy learning I could not bring
didn’t enjoy learning I could not bring myself to love learning everything but
myself to love learning everything but
myself to love learning everything but everything was part of the syllabus it
everything was part of the syllabus it
everything was part of the syllabus it got me thinking what does it take to
got me thinking what does it take to
got me thinking what does it take to actually balance the love of learning
actually balance the love of learning
actually balance the love of learning what you really want to learn and at the
what you really want to learn and at the
what you really want to learn and at the same time not lose the plot on the stuff
same time not lose the plot on the stuff
same time not lose the plot on the stuff you don’t want to see for dinner what
you don’t want to see for dinner what
you don’t want to see for dinner what tools could be created to balance
tools could be created to balance
tools could be created to balance learning with scoring in a system where
learning with scoring in a system where
learning with scoring in a system where grade based learning over many many
grade based learning over many many
grade based learning over many many years eventually translates into a

two powerful ideas actually
two powerful ideas actually revolutionary ideas which are driven by
revolutionary ideas which are driven by
revolutionary ideas which are driven by data and eventually ended up becoming

driven by AI that can change the status
driven by AI that can change the status quo forever and help every student in

of learning so you know three years ago
of learning so you know three years ago I was in a classroom and I overheard a
I was in a classroom and I overheard a
I was in a classroom and I overheard a conversation between a student and a
conversation between a student and a
conversation between a student and a teacher so the student very wide-eyed
teacher so the student very wide-eyed

don’t know the answer to this question
don’t know the answer to this question you might as well give up you should

thinking what did sooner mean and I
thinking what did sooner mean and I couldn’t get the face of that student
couldn’t get the face of that student
couldn’t get the face of that student out of my head it was so crestfallen so
out of my head it was so crestfallen so
out of my head it was so crestfallen so I resolved to start digging what is
