Served more than 50 clients like Railway, NIC, DAV Ranchi Zone, MDI-Texas, USA etc. Developed e-kawach as a separate business unit to provide an intranet/web based product providing the dual benefits of a school automation service and e-commerce portal OPPORTUNITY Education industry is bigger than automobile and software industry in India inspite of that there is no medium for the product/service providers to promote/sell their product directly to the end customers. E-kawach is gradually moving forward to bridge this gap by creating a portal dedicated to the education community in India where product/service companies can advertise as well as sell there products directly to the school community.
