• 2. Societal Platform thinking
• 3. EkStep & Diksha
• 4. Sunbird Platform

Agenda

Societal problems

emerge in diverse environments posing multi-dimensional challenges at scale with varied consequences

Challenge: Complexity

Systems gravitate to equilibrium Complex interactions lead to suboptimal states Dynamic systemic responses cannot be predicted from individual components

5

Challenge: Scale & Cost

700MM in extreme poverty 150MM malnourished children 15MM+ entrants into labour market for 5MM jobs p.a.

6

Challenge: Diversity

Solutions need to be context rich One-size-fits-all straitjackets actors into rigid solutions Grassroots impact fails to scale

7

Platform thinking: A new approach

Challenge Failure mode Platform Approach Complexity Sequential thinking, atomised effort Holistic thinking, collaborative effort Scale & Cost Re-invent the wheel Re-use infrastructure Diversity One-size-fits-all Use data to create multiple precise approaches

8

Guiding principles for platforms

Catalyse networks Distribute the ability to solve Create public goods Empower with data Resolve for scale

Ekstep Mission

Improve literacy and numeracy by increasing access to learning

• pportunities

for 200 million children of India by 2020

Technology Platform Contextualized Learning Demand Pull Ecosystem Approach

Poor early learning outcomes: A national problem

12

Only ¼ in Grade 5 know Division Less than ½ in Grade 5 can read

The problem is large and complex!

13

200m+ children 1.3m schools 23 official languages 49% have illiterate mothers 20% teacher vacancies

...in a complex, dynamic network of actors
