A learning education company, Educomp Solutions has grown over the years a pure education company today, pioneering in digital content, online tutoring, ICT in Education, and many more, through management of learning, content creation and delivery of learning all around the globe. And the man reckoned as the global learning enabler, Shantanu Prakash, the Managing Director of Educomp Solutions, makes education the vision and mission of his life.
