New Delhi [India], April 4 (ANI/PNN): “A2 App” is now renamed “Conker App”. Albert Einstein once said, “Education is not learning facts but training the mind to think. A2 has deeply integrated this saying into its work and has brought about a significant change in the way young people look at education. A2 has ensured that it is not rote learning that motivates people, but the zeal to expand their horizons and creativity as they wish; the fundamental ideals of CONKER WORLD Pvt Limited reside in Har Jagah Hai Jal, Seekhle Kaushal. They plan to empower young people to earn tax benefits as there are opportunities in all walks of life.
Now comes another step towards realizing the goal of extensive and creative education for all, i.e. CONKER World, founded by Arvind Arora (over 23 million social media followers) and Sachin Upadhyay (over 4 million followers), offers skills-based training for people who want to move away from stereotypical learning and focus on personal skills. The idea is for a platform that revolves around these skills and makes students competent to generate monetary benefits through the gig economy by investing a minimum amount to hone their skills.
The company has triumphantly closed its USD 300,000 pre-seed round with investors who have built a vibrant relationship with the company and are among India’s leading personalities.
“We wish to bring a revolution in the skills space by targeting 90% of the vernacular speaking audience in India, empowering them, contributing to the labor economy and making them job ready. Everyone doesn’t have the opportunity to get into top schools; we need to create micro-entrepreneurs and jobs,” says Arvind Arora, co-founder, who was also an elected official at Yourstory’s Creator Inc conference recently.
The Android app launched with five lakhs+ app installs in less than three months after launch. Additionally, the app was among the top 10 rated apps offering accessible and affordable paid programs for young people and was rated 4.7 out of 5 stars on the Playstore by over 52,000 reviewers. A series of skills-based programs are available for students to get the exposure and guidance they need.
“We will link with companies and job portals to help our qualified customers find the relevant jobs after they learn with our free and highly affordable skills courses. We aim to reach a minimum of 5 million installs over the next 8-10 months,” says Sachin, co-founder.
CONKER’s pre-seed round has been led by some of our country’s wildest and most influential minds, founders, CXOS and influencers. Some of them were founders like Anand Prakash & Pulkit Jain (Vedantu), Rahul Saria (Nimble Growth), Kamlesh Bhagat & Anand Poste (Jobs Capital), Prashant Choudhary (Click Orchid), Tarun Saini (Vidyakul) and Soveet Gupta (Udyan Tea).

Influencers and founders like Ranveer Allahbadia (Beerbiceps), Neha Agrawal of Mathematically Inclined, Mahendra Dogney, motivational speaker, Himanshi Singh (let’s learn) and Viraj Sheth (Monk Entertainment). Along with this, a series of investors recognized for their contribution to society have become part of the CONKER WORLD family such as Dinesh Godara, founder of wifi study & TREAD acquired by Unacademy and Cultfit; Jagdish Ahuja, Founder of Capital Market Academy and Former Chairman of Bangalore Stock Exchange, Shubhankar Paul, CEO, Storycult, Bhunesh Sharma, Smile for all Society, and many more. “The power of influencers is immense in a populous population and one of the youngest countries like India. Converting this audience into a relevant business revenue model is key. I see a big opportunity for Ed-tech and Ad-tech to play with this model. It’s a big data set,” says Rahul Saria, an Angel Investor who was also the CFO of Vedantu and Rentomojo in the past.
The company plans to use the funds for product development, content creation, new course launches and team building.
CONKER World focuses on holistic growth by understanding demographics. Courses such as English, Communication Skills, Intelligence and Reading are among their priority courses and are free as they believe it is a start to make young Indians the most skilful.
The significant advantage of the app is the vernacular availability which connects everyone in their comfort zone. CONKER World has also partnered with NGOs that work for child development to provide free programs to children and help them soar high in the sky to become creative.
The initial growth of the CONKER world is breathtaking, and the illustrious personalities connected with it portray the bright future of youth. The ideals of CONKER World are to conquer the world by offering the skills and creativity to all those aspiring artists and youngsters who are drowned in the river of rote learning. This will be their chance to meet their Knight in Shining Armor, the skill-based program offered by CONKER World.
