EdTech case study

VocabPro: an app that began with a student's question

All EdTech projects →

“At Rajaram College, in an early-morning competitive-exam class, a student asked me how to prepare for vocabulary. He had tried newspapers, notebooks and word lists. Grammar has rules and comprehension has techniques; vocabulary had only lists.”

His NCC cadets (2016–2023) faced the same problem. The idea matured for years; development began in 2025 and VocabPro went live in 2026.
