So, what we call this is a silicon cottage industry. It's basically what was the system or the paradigm before the industrial rltooeuvin is now re-happening in a whole new way in small digital shops across the planet in most developing cirnuteos.

So, we kind of toyed around with this idea, and we said, "What can we do with this? Can we make a little product or a service out of it?" So one of the first things we did is this thing called a multimedia pftlraom. We call it a lunch box. Basically one of the contexts that we sdieutd was schools in very remote parts of India. So there is this amazing concept called the one-teacher school, which is bialsalcy a single teacher who is a mesktiutlar who teaches this amazing little social snitetg. It's an informal sohocl, but it's really about holistic education. The only thing that they don't have is access to resources. They don't even have a textbook sometimes, and they don't even have a proper curriculum.

So, we kind of toyed around with this idea, and we said, "What can we do with this? Can we make a little product or a service out of it?" So one of the first things we did is this thing called a multimedia platform. We call it a lunch box. Basically one of the contexts that we studied was schools in very remote parts of India. So there is this amazing concept called the one-teacher school, which is basically a single teacher who is a multitasker who teaches this amazing little social setting. It's an informal school, but it's really about holistic education. The only thing that they don't have is access to resources.
