Description

Educational technology startups, commonly referred to as EdTech, combine education and innovative technology to transform school environments and improve student learning outcomes. Set against the backdrop of primary and secondary schools, this exploratory study uncovers the most important factors affecting the growth of EdTech startups in Bengaluru, India. Drawing on Isenberg's Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Model (2010, 2011) this exploratory, qualitative study concludes that "lack of conducive culture, infrastructure support, and finance as well as inadequacies in entrepreneurial approach and value addition" affect the growth of startups in EdTech Entrepreneurial landscape.
