Where
were we
On the 1st of July 1999, with our mission clear and strong, we set
out to create eGurucool.com. To redefine learning. To take it beyond
the confines of a classroom. Beyond the constraints of time and space.
And to gear and arm the young with the best tool for success.
Where are we
Since its inception to where we are today, eGurucool has come a
long way. Today, we are Indias leading education company,
with a strong team of 60 people spread over 2 offices in India.
Over 1600 schools, colleges as well as professional institutes have
tied-up with us. Our page views average 2.2 million per month while
we have over 7000 direct retail customers and a network of Learning
Centres across the country.
As a business, we have organized ourselves into two categories
the Distance Learning (DL) business and the Learning Centre (LC)
business. The DL business uses the direct route to reach students
and the courses are delivered through a unique and synergistic combination
of internet based content and printed materials. The LC business,
on the other hand, uses the conventional classroom approach to impart
learning though we deliver it in a unique way.
eGurucool has created these tailored offerings to benefit students
in all the primary locations where he seeks learning - home, schools
and tuition.
To keep us going, we have our key investors. The first round of
investments came from Chrysalis Capital
in December 1999. The second round of funding worth US $ 10 million
came in July 2000 from Chrysalis Capital, STAR
and International Finance
Corporation, the lending arm of the World Bank.
Where do we want to be
eGurucool aims to be the leading player in the Indian education
industry and is determined to bring technology and education together
to shape the future of millions. And with every step we take
we are only getting closer to our mission.
