I have interacted with enthusiastic professionals who have stepped into education to substantiate their COVID-effected income from home using this platform. We believe their comprehensive and easy to use solution helps prepare and deliver online and offline courses in a faster and effective manner. What encouraged us to invest in Edmingle is its well-laid outgrowth and sustainable customer focus business model, and the ability of their platform to help entrepreneurs solve the online realm problems," stated J A Chowdary, co-founder and partner, SucSEED Indovation Fund.
