About Gyaanexchange.com:

India’s first platform bringing to together motivated learners and talented teachers in your community. Gyaanexchange.com is a platform that endeavours to fill critical skill gaps between graduation and employment as well as provide people with learning opportunities on everything – from technical skills such as Excel, Power Point and Public-speaking, to learning experiences that can help people pursue their interests such as music, dance, photography, gardening, cooking, fitness etc. Gyaanexchange does this by providing those who have skills ('teachers') with a platform to tell others about it and to monetize their skills by creating profiles for offline classes which students can discover online and enrol through the platform itself.

Gyaanexchange is working towards establishing a community based collaborative learning and teaching environment. It does this by connecting every learner and teacher in one’s city and neighbourhood. Being heavily integrated with social media, students can share with their friends what they are learning and invite them to join.

Gyaanexchange was launched in Mumbai and Delhi on 11th October, 2011. The platform is now available to teachers and learners in Pune, Chennai and Bangalore as well.
