THE CORE PRINCIPLES

image 32.png

Why do we exist?

Yellowdig aims to turn every classroom, bootcamp, or organization into an active learning community through its research-driven, hyper-interactive, Yellowdig Engage platform. The platform was built on three main pedagogical principles: Agency, Mastery, and Connectedness. The various features of the platform are inspired by these pedagogical principles to turn learners into co-creators of knowledge, and empower them with robust performance analytics as they cruise through their learning journey.

THE EARLY DAYS

How did Yellowdig start?

Founder & CEO, Yellowdig

Shaunak Roy

In 2014, Yellowdig's CEO and founder, Shaunak Roy, knew he wanted to start a company that mattered. As Facebook and other social media technologies took over the social connectivity scene, he saw an opportunity to leverage this idea of social sharing through technology, but specifically in the area of sharing academic ideas and knowledge. 

 

As Shaunak looked back on his own academic days (he went to undergrad at IIT Bombay, and postgrad at MIT), he realized that he learned as much from his peers as he did from his brilliant professors. Some of the bonds he created with his peers lasted well beyond those formative years, and morphed into lifelong friendships.
