India’s leading education solutions provider, Next Education Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with Vonage, a global business cloud communications leader, to cater to the increased need for virtual classroom sessions in 12,000+ schools across India due to COVID-19 induced lockdown.
As COVID-19 pandemic leads to the closure of schools, Next Education witnessed an increased need for one-on-one as well as one-to-many classroom training sessions between teachers and students via live lectures in different cities throughout India.
Beas Dev Ralhan, CEO and Co-Founder, Next Education, said, “Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we saw a rapid increase in the need for video solutions - up to 10 million video minutes per day. This called for us to upgrade our existing systems to be able to cater to the increased video traffic.”
He also added, “From a plethora of video solutions, we finally found our partner in Vonage. Vonage enabled us to scale quickly to meet our increase in video traffic via its Video API which was easy to embed directly into our existing website and app.”
