Receiving the award on October 19^th, Byju Raveendran, the Chairman and Managing Director of Think & Learn, said, "From physical delivery of lectures in one centre in Bangalore to delivery through satellite across India to launching one of its kind educational tablets in a matter of just four years, Think & Learn has always been a constantly changing and innovating organization. At our core, we are just a partnership of good teachers who have the passion to change the way people "Think & Learn" through technology. There is a huge gap in the way things should be learnt and the way it is. We are trying to bridge that gap as far as possible by making high quality education accessible to all."

With more products in the pipeline and the existing products being strengthened, I am confident of retaining our presence here in the coming years too."
