Mr. RCM Reddy is the Managing Director & CEO of Schoolnet India Limited and in charge of the delivery of Education, Employability, and Employment initiatives under multi-stakeholder partnership formats.

He has led the organization in demonstrating scalable models for improving learning outcomes in K-12 school education through digital and digitally assisted education solutions, teachers’ training and other services, impacting more than 40,000 schools and 15 million students and teachers.

 In his conversation with Deepak Nanda from CSRBOX, he elaborates on the following questions:

1. Can you elaborate on the broader framework and the philosophy around which the organization works?

2. Talking about the educational initiatives, how do you ensure educational outcomes using your model and what role does technology play in your approach?

3. Your employability programs are amongst one of the largest in the country. But how do you go from training to placement, in order to complete the cycle of employability for your beneficiaries?

4. In the context of Atmanirbhar Bharat and its allied models, how does your Cluster-based approach fit into the employability framework?

5. The scale that you operate on and the impact that you’ve had over the years, calls for a robust organizational structure to support such initiatives. What is a structure that you have in place, is it NGO, social business or a hybrid format?

6. Every organization is looking at robust digital transformation in light of the pandemic, to stay relevant. What plans do you have for the same and are their other aspects that the organization might look to work on in the near future?
