The boom in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) space further made a considerable impact on the sector which can transform education by helping educators provide tailored attention to individual students. 

In a rapidly growing industry that has revolutionised traditional learning methods, Quicktouch Technologies is making huge strides in the education sector with its Managing Director Gaurav Jindal combining his financial expertise with innovative thinking to lead the edtech space.

His background as a Chartered Accountant provided him with the tools to understand the financial mechanisms of businesses, but his passion for innovation pushed him to think beyond traditional accounting.

Jindal’s transition from auditing and consulting to the tech industry might seem unconventional, but it was a natural progression for him. "My entry into the industry was fueled by a deep-seated passion for creativity and a desire to develop innovative products that could genuinely help people," he explains.

He soon launched its flagship product, QuickCampus, which has earned the title of "India’s first EdTech marketplace." "QuickCampus offers a comprehensive suite of services, including a cloud-based school management system with features like student and staff attendance, results, timetables, library management, homework assignments, and more," Jindal explains.

It also includes fee payment solutions, fee financing options, capacity building, project consulting, an e-commerce portal for merchandise, and much more. “This all-in-one solution sets us apart in the industry. Institutions only need to sign up with us to meet all their operational needs effectively.”

He added, QuickPay offers an efficient solution with intelligent APIs and cost-effective options, enabling you to seamlessly expand your business using its comprehensive payment solutions platform.

As Jindal looks to the future, his vision for Quicktouch is clear. He aims to expand QuickCampus’s reach across India, making it the go-to platform for educational institutions nationwide. "We’re just getting started," Jindal says with a smile. "The next five years will be about scaling our operations, refining our products, and continuing to innovate. We’re committed to making quality education accessible to all, and we believe that QuickCampus is the key to achieving that."
