CORE, a first generation entrepreneurial venture by Sanjeev Mansotra, provides integrated products, solutions and service provider in education. CORE’s offerings cover compliance, assessment, ICT, content, teacher training, vocational training, examination management system, language skills and has globally impacted more than 85,000 schools, 31 million students and trained over 100,000 teachers.
Speaking with Yash Ved of IIFL, Sanjeev Mansotra says “I believe that the next wave of explosive growth for CORE will come from India and other emerging markets.”
What are your plans in the education space?
We have a global footprint with operations across the US, Africa, UK and India. In the US, we are focused on assessment and intervention and we have 6% market share. In Africa, we are focused on Systems Integration and ICT, which is driven by local needs of the market.
In India, ICT in Government schools has made a significant contribution towards revolutionising teaching and learning platforms in government schools in India. We witnessed an unprecedented year which saw us bag contract for over 9,000 schools under the ICT projects in India. This is a testimony for CORE’s exemplary implementation track record with Governments across the world.
I believe that the next wave of explosive growth for CORE will come from India and other emerging markets. With a unique offerings portfolio catering to the entire continuum of education, CORE is uniquely poised to build new paradigms in Education.
In what we see as a culmination of our experience, expertise and efficacy in offering educational solutions, we look to establish Institutes of Excellence in K-12 and Higher Education segments. We are planning to set up 10 IB schools in urban and semi-urban areas across India.
