VoLT (acronym for: Vocabulary Learning Technique) is an Indian EdTech company that aims to simplify vocabulary learning by making use of creative teaching methodologies like the Law of Association, Innovative approach for Mnemonics and including funny stories, anecdotes and colored pictures to increase retention.[3] It was founded in 2013 by Mumbai-based educator Abhishek Jain and his brother Nishek Jain.[1]
History[edit]
VoLT was founded by siblings Abhishek Jain and Nishek Jain who hail from Sunam in Sangrur district, Punjab. An alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, Abhishek then went on to work at institutions like Resonance, Aakash (pa) and Pace that coach students for the Joint Entrance Examination. In her book, SuperSiblings, Prachi Garg writes that despite being skilled and knowledgeable as engineers, brothers Abhishek and Nishek Jain faced the challenge of expressing themselves confidently in English which happens to be the language in which major formal communication takes place in India. Subsequently Abhishek decided to associate words with images and pictures to create a long-lasting memory. After having experimented and learned from the concept themselves, the duo wrote their own book and published it in the hope of propagating and encouraging the idea of building vocabulary with association. The book, VoLT - Vocabulary Learning Techniques was published in January 2013. Then in 2016, an exclusive android based application was launched.[1]
Products and services[edit]
The app provides its users with innovative techniques to remember difficult English words without a need for conscious effort to remember them.[4] The app's primary userbase is from India and includes aspirants of various Indian competitive exams such as CAT, MAT, SSC, Bank PO, GATE, UPSC, CET and international tests like the Graduate Management Admission Test, SAT, GRE, TOEFL and IELTS. Since the platform's launch, VoLT app has been downloaded over 5 lac times and registering monthly growth of close to 125% in 2016.[3]
Funding[edit]
In 2016, VoLT raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from YMS Mobitech, a tech-based distribution company.[3]
