  • "Vedantu" focuses upon giving children a better future. In theory, to bring about any change you need to start at the roots rather than working on the as-is scenario of things, and teaching is the best way to do that.

Since a lot is riding on a startup's success, emotions can run high, and workloads can be significant. I was responsible for creating content in regards to subjects like Science and Mathematics.
