“Resorcio was founded with an objective to provide credible content to its users, given the upsurge of content marketplace. Each article uploaded on to the site undergoes an evaluation process with respect to aesthetics, plagiarism and facts to ensure credibility. We hope the education materials available on the platform will aid the students to prepare for their higher education and provide them insights on respective topics,” Geethika Sudip, CEO & Founder adds.
She added, “A free upskilling programme certified by the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) is also being conducted on a regular basis, in a bid to address the larger issue of the digital skills divide among the educators. Through this, we work towards making the teachers more acquainted with new technologies in the education sector and thereby make teaching more engaging. Though the upskilling programme was limited to Kerala, teachers from far-flung areas such as Chengalpattu near Chennai took part on their own interest. This will be expanded to other states soon”.
Future plans in the pipeline include introduction of video content (in addition to the readable and audible content now available on the site) and the introduction of Hindi and Bengali content. Resorcio, is in Series A funding stage to expand the service offerings to its stakeholders.
