Introduction
Eckovation is a mobile-based social learning platform created by IIT-Delhi batch mates Ritesh Singh and Akshat Goel, who graduated in 2012. Ritesh had been working for Bosch as a senior engineer where he had two patent applications, and was awarded ‘Employee of the Year’. Akshat was with DeNA in Tokyo, Japan, where he worked on machine learning, and crunched terabytes of data generated every day by the Mobage gaming platform used by games like ‘Final Fantasy Record Keeper’. He is fluent in the Japanese language, having learned 800 of the 3000 characters.[3]
While still at college, Ritesh started the Society for Advancement of Research in Arts and Science in 2011, which worked on audio-visual based education systems in India. It received a good response in Delhi, but failed miserably in remote areas like Bihar. Using this learning, both of them decided to quit their campus jobs and start Eckovation. The mobile application allows collaboration between students, peers, teachers and parents on a single platform, and hopes to change the way education is imparted. Users can share images, audio files, videos and polls and can set up groups for collaboration among different stakeholders.[4]
