2017 marked a significant year for digital transformation in India. One story that encapsulates this trend is the rise of online education platforms.
At the beginning of the year, a small startup in Bengaluru launched an app called \“EduPad\“. This app provided free online courses for students from underprivileged backgrounds. The platform gained immense popularity as it allowed students to access quality education from the comfort of their homes.
As the year progressed, other major players like Byju\“s and Vedantu also joined the fray. These companies used technology to personalize learning experiences, making education more accessible and engaging.
The government also recognized the potential of technology in education and announced a scheme to connect 600,000 schools with high-speed internet by 2019.
This digital transformation in education was just the beginning. By 2017, the Indian government had launched a national digital payments platform called \“Unified Payments Interface\“ （UPI）. This platform made digital transactions faster and more secure, encouraging more people to adopt online banking.
The year also witnessed the launch of various e-commerce platforms, including Amazon India and Flipkart, which saw a surge in sales as more consumers preferred shopping online. |
