Digital Live Services is committed to enhancing the well-being of children, youth, and families through transformative community-focused initiatives. In an exclusive conversation with Smart Solutions World, Mr. Virender Singh, CEO, Digital Live Services delved into the transformative impact of their comprehensive educational hardware and software solutions.
Overview of the Company and Mannat Software
We specialize in manufacturing top-quality educational hardware for numerous Indian brands, addressing the needs of students and educators across India. Hardware functionality depends on reliable software, and previously, the market relied on imported Chinese software that lacked proper integration with educational content. Our revolutionary software, Mannat, is the first to integrate NCERT books and educational materials seamlessly. With over 3,000 pre-bookings and partnerships with more than 20 brands, Mannat has already received exceptional feedback. The upcoming Android version release in August is set to create a win-win scenario for all Indian brands, significantly enhancing the educational experience for students and educators across the nation.
Mannat: A Game-Changer in Indian Education
The absence of integration between whiteboard tools and educational content posed significant challenges for teachers. To address this, we developed Mannat, a comprehensive solution that integrates NCERT books and educational materials directly into the whiteboard software. Mannat provides a unified platform for teachers, offering advanced whiteboard tools alongside an extensive library of educational resources. These include tools for chemistry, physics, mathematics, and geometry, over 5,000 3D images, and a complete solar system model. Additionally, advanced features such as Google search, Wikipedia, a dictionary, and ChatGPT integration enhance the user experience. Mannat, meaning ‘wish,’ reflects our commitment to fulfilling educational needs. With its innovative design and over 3,000 pre-bookings, the software is poised to revolutionize education, especially with the forthcoming Android version.
Market Changes and Trends
Our journey back into classrooms, starting with a Delhi government project in 2018, revealed immense potential for transforming education. Distance learning has become a cornerstone of modern education, connecting students from smaller towns and cities to renowned teachers for lectures, Q&A sessions, and personalized guidance. To support this digital revolution, robust hardware paired with advanced software is crucial. Our integrated solution combines educational content with interactive whiteboard software, empowering teachers to deliver effective and accessible distance learning.
Educating Partners
Our partners are at the forefront of tackling market competition and addressing existing challenges. We provide extensive training and regular updates to keep them well-informed about new developments. For example, we are launching the EDLA (Enterprise Device License Agreement) with Google, ensuring devices come pre-installed with Google applications for enhanced functionality and ease of use. Currently available on Windows, our software will soon be accessible on Android, offering significant cost savings to educators and institutions.
Future Plans
We envision enhancing school labs with high-quality PCs and all-in-one systems while creating state-of-the-art studios and classroom setups for recording lectures. Additionally, we plan to establish a cloud-based digital library, enabling students to access lectures and teaching materials with ease. Whether it involves live services, cutting-edge hardware, or advanced software, we are committed to providing a comprehensive solution for the education sector.
B2G Business Plans
Half of our business stems from government projects, and our partners actively participate in initiatives like GeM. We have completed substantial installations in various states, including 18,000 classrooms in UP and Telangana, 6,500 in Maharashtra, 3,000 in Odisha, and 1,500 in Shimla. This year, we anticipate selling around two lakh OPS, with at least 25% opting for manual software, amounting to 50,000 keys. Our ultimate goal is to establish Mannat as the leading software solution for education technology across the nation.
