ConveGenius acquires Gray Matters India to extend its AI-based assessment products

ConveGenius has acquired Gray Matters India (GMI), to augment its personalized and adaptive learning platform. The step has been taken to further strengthen their EdTech for Naya Bharat campaign that aims to empower 100 million students at the bottom of the education funnel. The acquisition will help ConveGenius integrate GMI's measurement science with its automated learning capabilities and help under-served students diagnose their remediation requirement for missing skills and knowledge through a tailored set of instructions. Gray Matters India’s annual revenue rate (ARR) is about $1 million.

While collecting children's teaching and learning transactions, the digital learning fingerprint of every learner contains encoded information associated with their cognitive skillsets. This data helps ConveGenius understand the growth trajectory of a learner in terms of skills constitution, retention, learning style, and social and emotional well-being. By leveraging GMI's platform, ConveGenius will be able to visualize an underlying super taxonomy of foundational and cognitive learning skills and will create an interoperable architecture for learning according to the NEP 2020, where digital data from multiple education and learning organizations can be transferred, compared, and analysed.

As part of the Insights team, GMI will help ConveGenius enhance students' learning levels with reliable and transparent communication infrastructure. It will boost ConveGenius's mission of transforming the learning outcomes by providing affordable technology to the bottom 100 million students falling in the K-12 category, including AI-based learning, and high-stake assessments and evaluations spanning across various platforms such as Web, Android and WhatsApp – thereby making learning easily-accessible and engaging like never before.

Prachi Jain Windlass - Micheal and Susan Dell Foundation, says, “We are very excited about the coming together of two high-performing organizations with a sharp focus on improving education outcomes for millions of children in India.
