EdTalkies unveils AI platform to boost teacher-led learning

Hyderabad, Apr 15 (UNI) EdTalkies, a U S-based AI-powered education platform, on Wednesday showcased its teacher-centric digital learning solution, emphasising the role of artificial intelligence in supporting educators and bridging learning gaps across India.
Addressing a media interaction, Founder and CEO Ram Alladi said the platform is designed to strengthen—not replace—teachers by enabling them to create curriculum-aligned lessons, assessments and explanations instantly, while extending structured learning beyond classrooms.
Highlighting trends, EdTalkies noted that digital learning adoption in India rose from about 20 per cent pre-COVID to nearly 70 per cent during the pandemic and has now stabilised at around 55 per cent. However, a significant urban-rural gap persists, driven by limited internet access, device availability and digital literacy.
