i2K Solutions

Atul Nigam is the Founder and Principal Architect of i2k Solutions. He graduated from IIT Kanpur in the year 1988. During his stay at IIT Kanpur, Atul decided to start a software company. However he was not having capital. Hence to generate capital he started coaching for IIT JEE aspirants. Thus accidentally, in 1988, he became the first IITian to... start IIT JEE coaching in the country. Atul's style of coaching was unique as he taught only 10 students in a batch. The small number of students in a group allowed him to work on strength and weaknesses of each student and tutor them individually. This methodology created phenomenal results. Students termed 'average' or 'below average' succeeded in IIT JEE. 1. All Humans capable of excellence provided one-to-one mentoring and individualized tuition given. 2. Each person has a different speed of learning and therefore each student has to be handled differently based on his or her needs. 3. Realization that traditional method of teaching cannot impart high quality personalized training to large number of learners. 4. Shortage of good teachers in Schools, Colleges and even Corporate Training. Atul realized that technology has to be used to provide scalable, low-cost, high quality learning experience. During 1992-1996 Atul experimented with many constructs. Atul narrowed down to a software concept which involved use of Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Neural Network. By 1999 Atul was ready with prototype of a platform for One-to-One training, which is called Dynamind today. To pursue his dream Atul migrated to Mumbai in year 2000. Atul continued his R&D with Dynamind platform. Algorithms of Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Neural Network were refined to enhance One-to-One mentoring, collective intelligence and other required traits for creation of dedicated teacher for each learner. In 2001 Atul traveled to Top Universities in the world such as MIT, Stanford, Wharton, Harvard, Penn, Columbia and San Jose, to determine the extent of technological development ...Read More
