Edtech startups offering extracurricular activities were among the biggest beneficiaries during the lockdown. As children return to classrooms, they now need to reorient themselves to remain relevant in a post-pandemic world
For nine-year-old Myra Nigam in Bengaluru, learning both in and out of school consumes most of her usual day.
