Index

Inspiration

Almost 1.5 million students enter Indian engineering colleges per year & almost 80 percent of them graduate to not be fit for any job in the knowledge economy. The top most contributing factor to this is lack of quality teachers & curriculum (https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/insights/us/articles/6322_future-of-indian-higher-education/figures/6322_Fig1.jpg). While online courses from top universities like MIT, Stanford do offer very high quality content. But, their conversion rate is at 3%.

What it does

Index spawns very low cost peer-to-peer driven physical learning communities. It brings high quality education content from universities like MIT, Stanford and mentors from top companies & startups to the students with a hope that carefully built communities will have way higher conversion than 3%. Index's mission is to improve the quality & diversity of higher education in developing nations.

How I built it

I built the website using Material-UI Theme (from Creative Tim), ExpressJS & React. I used Google Sheets for storing data, Mixpanel for analytics, FB ads for running A/B tests & Render for deployment.
