Obstacles down the Road and the Smart Strategies

The company takes pride in its existing client retention rate of almost 95%. However, going forward with increasing operational costs a part of its growth, shrinking margins have emerged as one of the challenges for the team.

eLearning is a very competitive industry and to sustain year on year continuity with the clients, one must need to be ahead of the curve and the solution lies in innovation. eLearning is a field of imagination and creativity and more creative and innovative you are, more the chances of bigger success.

“With growth going forward on-boarding, the right set of a team that shares a similar vision as that of organizations seems a challenge. We are extremely cautious and choosy when we recruit and we follow the ACT (Attitude, Communication, and Technology) model while recruiting the right talent. For us having the right attitude is very important, rest two things can still be taught,” Amol asserts.

“Also, eLearning is a field of creativity and being creative has to be in basic nature. We see that as the major challenge at the moment for the industry. However that also act as an opportunity for progressive organisations like ours.  To mitigate the risk of this challenge, we have a constant focus on training our internal team on the latest technologies and trends in the eLearning industry and we engage with the best of the best talent to seek their consultative advice on building very innovative and creative solutions,” he concludes.
