There are several evolving trends in the Indian online education segment that are contributing to the growth opportunities ahead. These include emergence of hybrid learning channels, continuous need for working professionals to learn new skills as well as emergence of technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence that is enabling online education vendors to design customized content

Online education is an electronically supported learning system, which relies on the Internet for interaction and distribution of course material between students and teachers. Growing demand to reduce the cost of education, increasing government initiatives supporting online education, and increasing penetration of smartphones and the Internet are the factors contributing to the growth of the global online education market. Additionally, the market is also expected to be boosted owing to the increasing demand for adaptive learning. However, the availability of abundant free content and lack of awareness is limiting the market growth. The Indian online education market is highly fragmented with around 3,500 edtech start-ups operating in the country. Many startups are now actively persuing to enter the segment after lockdown. As the market is wide open, we should focus on the right age group and category of the students and create the strategy for the particular segment. Its not possible to create a general marketing strategy to all those potential markets. Main advertisements can be run through the formal groups and other social media platform. Online education goes beyond the realms of secondary, post-secondary and tertiary education. It also includes courses and modules for competitive exam preparation, professional skill enhancement, and other non-academic subjects.
