Since ed-tech is becoming increasingly technology-focused and software-centric, to succeed, we had to build an interactive virtual classroom environment that runs in low bandwidth and on low-cost devices. Nishu will play a vital role in the planning and execution of Lido Learning’s technology roadmap while focusing on security and site integrity, data compliance, core architecture and testing. I’m delighted to welcome Nishu on board and look forward to his contribution towards making Lido Learning the go-to destination for aspiring students.” said Sahil Sheth, Founder and CEO of Lido Learning.
“Education develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life. There is a certain excitement and thrill in building something from square one and I look forward to applying my experience and technical abilities at Lido Learning to enhance the experience of students that look towards us to transform their learning abilities. The time for ed-tech companies has finally arrived in India. With the sector gaining immense traction already, technology has made a big impact in revolutionizing the education market, facilitating and improving learning with ease and time. It is an exciting start for me and I am hoping to deliver my best along with the Lido family.” said Nishu Goyal.
