He added, "This year, we also launched our product for young learners (Grades 1-3), which completed our learning offerings from grades 1 - 12.  We are also planning to reach out to deeper parts of India by launching programs in vernacular languages. We have always focused on sustainable growth and our efforts will continue to be on creating learning experiences that will help students become better learners. 

Being the world's most valuable ed-tech company today, we strongly believe that we have the capability to create a global product that can revolutionize learning for students across the world. 

As we step into 2020, we will take a global leap, all driven by the mission to keep learning and encouraging the younger generations to do the same."
