The situation

The founder, Mr. Shejith Edathil, travelled from Thrissur to Kannur across five districts every week to teach, and students travelled between districts to attend — so both sides lost days to travel. Coaching was also delivered through partner colleges, each with its own allocated timing, which was difficult to hold together, and offline sessions were limited by seating capacity. Travel left the founder little time for preparation or for anything else.

What Edumia did

Edumia supported the launch of Kerala's first online classes for JAM, JRF and NET examinations, putting the course online so a session is no longer tied to a room, a city or a fixed hour, and partner-college batches could be served without the founder being physically present in each.

What changed

Seat capacity stopped limiting how many students could attend a session, and the founder's week was returned to teaching and preparation rather than driving between districts.
