The companies have structured a collective- Indian Ed tech consortium- under the armour of the Internet and mobile Association of India ( IAMAI), a development that follows the government’s announcement that a policy to regulate the sector the sectors was in the works.
The Ed tech sector in India lately took a chapter towards self- regulation with a clutch of leading companies adopting a set of guidelines to conduct their business.
The companies have formed a collective- India Ed tech consortium- under the Armour of the Internet and mobile Association of India, ( IAMAI), a development that follows the government’s announcement that a policy to regulate the sector was in the works.
The Indian express interviewed Mayank kumar, who is a co- founder of up- grad, a member of consortium.
Why has a consortium been formed and what will be its structure, including that of a proposed grievance redressal mechanism.
We have been talking about the IAMAI for the last two or three years and last year we actively started working on a committee or an array of similar brain tech companies Coming in, just to formulate a specific point of view in the ecosystem.
We had to now bring out everything because the government also came out with an advisory.
That was from a consumer stand point. So the government advisory covered what a consumer should do or not do.
And we just realise it was accurate at this point to bring about with what we are the do’s and don’ts from a company perspective, so that both sides of the eco systems are covered.
The aim here is to look, if promotion happens.
And it’s important occasionally, instead of ignoring these elements.
We might as well come up with our set of code of conduct so that these one or two incidents do not tore the name of tech ecosystem.
