The company uses machine learning and data (collected from a millions of data points from every user activity) to continuously improve its algorithm to develop an adaptive learning platform. Machine Learning has made learning more structured as students can attempt questions according to their learning level. It can identify a student\u2019s weakness down to the concept level and pop up questions that help them improve and giving them insights on their performance. The company has evolved its practice module and further improved by collecting more data from new students using the platform. The use of this technology has also granted them an edge over their competitors. The company has been hiring the right talent in its technology and engineering team to build an adaptive product that can evolve with the increase in the customer base. The company also hired experienced individuals from the sector Prabhdeep Bedi from the US (McKinsey), Niranjan Chavan from Canada (Compass Group); and Sudeep Mitra with over 20 years of experience at companies including Hummer, Reliance, Tata, Airtel and IBM.\u00a0These professionals were hired to help with the next phase of growth and integrate technology in the growth process.<\/p>\n A challenge while using Machine learning technology is the lack of data points from new users. The company is facing problems in converting its users to paid users. The lack of conversion from the freemium model does not allow the company to collect quality data and help improve its algorithm. Therefore, the management team has been working on raising awareness about the product and helping the end consumer understand the benefits of technology in the education sector. Zishaan Hayath, CEO, is also an angel investor and has been very vocal about his opinion on the role of technology in opening transformative avenues in improving education outcomes. The increased internet penetration in the country and the inability of the legacy tuition providers to provide quality services has created the opportunity for the company to establish a strong product-market fit. It was about building trust within the student community by demonstrating that the app was worth their time. Further, learning involves developing a sense of discipline that is critical to self-paced learning. While computers can provide suggestions about what students should do, actual practice that ultimately lead to outcomes can only be executed by the student. The company had thus focused on engaging the students on the platform to enable them to take the test and practice materials and enable the machine learning algorithm to give the most optimum answer. The company has used design to create a platform that improves visibility and discovery. It gives the students insights from the machine learning algorithm that is easy to digest and uses gamification to make learning fun.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Challenges and engagement tools<\/span><\/p>\n Machine learning in education allows teaching to be differentiated and personalized. Computers can deliver customized lectures to each student, liberating the instructors to work on a one-on-one basis with students to help with more difficult problems in students\u2019 understanding. It still begs the question on whether one day the machine will be sophisticated enough to completely replace the teacher and the student would be able to learn on their own? Or will we continue to value the human wisdom that has developed and passed down over generations in education?<\/p>\n (Word Count \u2013 737)<\/p>\n Footnotes<\/b><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Toppr, Official Website, https:\/\/www.toppr.com\/<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Jibu Elias, \u201cTechnology can bridge the gap in our broken education system, Toppr CEO,\u201d, Dec 26, 2017, https:\/\/in.pcmag.com\/edtech\/118190\/technology-can-bridge-the-gap-in-our-broken-education-system<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Malik Shaikh, \u201cOur Design Journey In Building The All New Toppr Web App\u201d, Sep 13, 2017, https:\/\/blog.toppr.com\/redesigning-the-toppr-web-app-9e2dce696fb5<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Dearton Thomas Hector, \u201cEd-tech market far from saturation, says Zishaan Hayath of Toppr\u201d, Apr 20, 2017, https:\/\/www.vccircle.com\/ed-tech-market-is-a-long-way-away-from-saturation-says-zishaan-hayath-of-toppr\/<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Will McGuinness, \u201cThe Benefits and the Limitations of Machine Learning in Education\u201d, Feb 5, 2018, https:\/\/www.gettingsmart.com\/2018\/02\/the-benefits-and-the-limitations-of-machine-learning-in-education\/<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Anita Shashidhar, \u201cLearning on the go\u201d, Jun 21, 2015, https:\/\/www.businesstoday.in\/magazine\/cover-story\/coolest-start-ups-2015-haygot-education-toppr.com-strategy\/story\/219952.html<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Prachi Verma, \u201cNew-age education companies are luring top talent with crore-rupee packages\u201d, Dec 26, 2017, https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/jobs\/new-age-education-companies-are-luring-top-talent-with-crore-rupee-packages\/articleshow\/62244384.cms<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Disha Seth, \u201cCompleting a student\u2019s learning cycle using technology\u201d, Nov 5, 2018, https:\/\/blog.toppr.com\/completing-a-students-learning-cycle-using-technology-9db8c391ddf6<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Banasree Purkayastha, \u201cToppr: This edtech platform caters to over 2.5 million registered students\u201d, Feb 28, 2018, https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/industry\/toppr-this-edtech-platform-caters-to-over-2-5-million-registered-students\/1082250\/<\/a> \u00a0, Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n 10.\u00a0 <\/span>Disha Seth, \u201cCompleting a student\u2019s learning cycle using technology\u201d, Nov 5, 2018, https:\/\/blog.toppr.com\/completing-a-students-learning-cycle-using-technology-9db8c391ddf6<\/a> , Accessed Nov 12, 2018<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Toppr-2.png\")
