Welcoming Ranjan to the company, Pallav Pandey, Co-founder, and CEO of UOLO, said, "We had always focused on creating new distribution channels in the EdTech sector that could make high-quality yet low-cost offerings available and accessible to schools and parents—a burning need in the Indian education sector.

Another focus would be to collaborate with over 50,000 schools and reach about 20 million students to build an active online community”. 

“EdTechs have been accelerated by increased internet usage and smartphone penetration. Yet, accessibility and affordability remain major problems. I believe, as we move ahead, UOLO will play a significant role in impacting learning outcomes using technology at scale.” he added further. 

Founded in September 2020, UOLO works with K-12 schools to make Edtech affordable for schools and parents. Ranjan will lead the product tech development and strategy in his new role, focusing on increasing teachers’ efficiency, while also maintaining parents’ and learners’ aspirations and engagement.
