illume

'EkStep is a non-profit initiative working to build a technology-based learning platform, with the goal of enabling literacy and numeracy for young children. As we began our work in this space, we contacted illume to help us with research to understand the challenges and aspirations of parents, teachers and children as they navigate the learning journey.

Reshma and Ravi Paritosh worked with us to understand the teachers, parents and students in low-income schools and neighborhoods across Bangalore. illume's questionnaire design and group discussions focused on capturing the aspirations and drivers for parents and teachers when it came to children's education. They also helped us understand the apprehensions of teachers, parents and students towards technology, and interacting with technology for learning. 

illume's reports are works of art in themselves with distilled insights and learnings to help us and our partners address these issues. We continuously engage illume as our research partner in our endeavour. '
