We are grateful for the backing of well-known investors. SpeEdLabs will aim to expand the presence to 800 locations throughout 23 states in the country, allowing more than 10 million students and empowering overing 50,000 teachers," said Vivek Varshney, founder, SpeEdLabs.

"The enablement of personalized and customized feedback and education for the students in a Hybrid model is the need of the hour.

SpeEdLabs provides teachers and students with customized practice and analytics-driven feedback, individualized assignments and a data-driven academic audit in order to change pedagogy towards hybrid learning in the classroom.
