We now want to take it to the rest of the world,” said Sahil Sheth, Founder, and CEO of Lido Learning.

Lido Learning is an ed-tech firm that is transforming conventional classroom education in India by providing every child with access to a unique and immersive online classroom.

While talking about the collaboration, Ronnie Screwvala, Founder – Unilazer Ventures, said, “Lido is the first mover in the small-group, online tuitions space. The company has differentiated itself from the start from all other players that primarily offer self-directed learning or large-group classes.
