The courses would be offered along with purchase of laptops and tablets to enhance students’ learning potential.

Avishkaar to offer great curated online courses

In addition to this, Flipkart customers will be able to avail Avishkaar Robotics and IoT Kits and Microdegrees for children in an affordable manner.

It is interesting to note that a survey conducted by Avishkaar among 5,000 parents and 5,000 children gauged the perception of parents of young children, as well as the children themselves on their career aspirations in STEM and next-generation technology fields.

The survey by Avishkaar brought out that 53 percent of the parent respondents use the hands-on learning approach to keep up their children’s interest levels in next-gen tech and STEM subjects.

This includes toys and kits that help their children with application-based learning.

Pooja Goyal, COO and Co-founder of Avishkaar said Flipkart’s campaign is a great initiative to inspire children to master technology skills when lockdowns are forcing children to stay home.

Avishkaar sets the gold standard for learning next-generation technology skills like Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, IoT and coding and we are thrilled to partner with Flipkart to make it accessible for children across India, he said.

Also, with the right computing devices offered by Flipkart coupled with Avishkaar kits and courses, children will be able to better learn by building, breaking and re-building chapters, said Pooja Goyal.

Rakesh Krishnan, senior director (electronics) at Flipkart spoke about the partnership with Avishkaar.

Flipkart has a nuanced understanding of customers evolving needs and is at the forefront of fulfilling their requirements with the best-in-class technical solutions, he said.

Currently, almost 40-45% of the demand for electronics for Flipkart comes from the student community and hence it becomes even more imperative to offer curated offerings to this customer cohort, said Rakesh Krishnan speaking about partnership between Flipkart and Avishkaar.

Flipkart has especially curated a page to help students in selecting the right computing and electronic items such as laptops, tablets, printers, audio devices and IT peripherals along with online learning materials depending on one’s primary use case.
