Kookoo Phone learning
- Pre-Seed
Mobile phones are everywhere. So transform the basic phone as a gateway to a world of learning. Bite sized lessons developed for the phone(IVR) and delivered over the regular phone lines.
Access to content is the biggest problem that the under privileged
youth face. But most of them have access to a phone and most of them
know how to make and receive calls. So what if learning is just a phone
call away and all you need to do to start learning is just make a phone
call.
Access to content is the biggest problem that the under privileged
youth face. A lot of them are still not connected to the Internet and even if they are connected the data speeds are low. And to top it all of most of them live in areas where even the electricity supply is not for more than 6-7 hours a day. Finding a way in which the students can access content at any time is paramount
A phone number for learning will provide access to learning for the youth at all times. We have helped Hindustan Unilever run a phone radio solution called KKT(http://www.kankhajuratesan.com) where 50 million people in media dark regions are accessing bollywood content.
If people can access entertainment content, then they surely can access learning content too.
Our solution will help people in rural areas to access learning content. We will deploy the lessons on a toll free number which is accessible from any corner of the country at any time. The lessons will be in their mother tongue which will help them understand better.
Track the people who call the subscription phone number - 1,000,000 subscribers
Track the IVR listen time - Average lesson engagement time per week should be greater than 30 mins
IVR questionnaire once they complete the course. - 10,000 people complete the course

- Consumer-facing software (mobile applications, cloud services)
- Digital systems (machine learning, control systems, big data)
Everyone thinks of solving something with the latest technology. We are going back to the basics. We want to solve access to content with the plebian phone call. Its always there and it just works and because of the rise of data networks, there is a lot of unused bandwidth on the voice networks.
The cloud phone system we will deploy is only a tool. The content is designed by humans and the content will be accessed by those who need it the most, the underserved communities. Most content now is geared towards 3D, VR etc. This content is very hard to access for the underserved as they will not have the devices which power this content. So we are going back to the basics. Just voice, on a phone line
The solution will be deployed on cloud telephony system and can be accessed by giving a missed call to a toll free number. Its affordable as giving a missed call is free for anyone.
