Simpliv Learning Aiming at Aggressive Growth Through Online Learning - Shahanshah Manzoor

Shahanshah Manzoor, founder and managing director, Simpliv Learning, a USA based online learning platform, shares his thoughts on how he plans to pitch his company in the exciting Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) space.

Shahanshah Manzoor, is a serial entrepreneur, saw that something was seriously amiss in our learning system. We have traditionally been known to have a voracious appetite for memorizing humungous volumes of material. This method comes with many pluses, but the major drawback it has is that it falls short of preparing students with the vital life skills they need to survive and flourish in the real world.Our education system is like learning swimming theoretically. Once a student gets out of the formal learning tenure, she is thrown into the pool with no life support, so to speak. So, how does she survive? By learning to beat her hands and legs. It is exactly this skill that needs to be imparted by our educational institutions. Sadly, while we have world renowned centers of excellence, at the ground level, it is mostly rote learning.It is to teach learners across all educational levels, ages, and geographies the all-important skills needed to take on the real world that Shahanshah Manzoor started his online learning platform, SimplivLearning.Let us hear from him about his journey, the challenges he has faced, and the way ahead for his organization, and his vision of where it is headed in this industry.

The reason for this fact is that the system does not train them for what it takes to work and succeed in the work environment. There is a need to teach our students the skill and abilities that they are going to use in the real world. This is why we created our online learning platform, SimplivLearning, to help them close the crucial skills gap they carry. This is the precise pain area SimplivLearning addresses.

Another major USP is support. From the beginning, I have been convinced that if you want learners to come to us and stay with us, support is a vital prop to the actual product. I am pleased that we have gone down very well with our clients in this department. Our 24/7 support is very well received.

In the long term, we are confident that we will carve a niche for our brand globally. The positive reputation we have built with our clients over the past 3-4 years since our inception gives me that confidence. We see a role for Simpliv Learning in this industry, which is set for exponential growth for many more years to come, pandemic or no pandemic.

So, thank you for your time, Shahanshah! It was a pleasure talking to you.

Shahanshah: Thank you! The pleasure is mine.
