Addressing a Critical Need
The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a new era of online education, but it also unveiled the unique challenges faced by children with differential needs. Traditional one-size-fits-all approaches fell short of meeting their requirements. Vrudhi Ed-tech recognized this gap and stepped up with a pioneering solution – SPEED 2.0.
A Solution Rooted in Innovation
SPEED 2.0 is not just a Learning Management System (LMS); it’s a groundbreaking platform that integrates medical science into education. This innovative approach destigmatizes learning differences and provides children with the support they need, conveniently delivered to their homes and schools.

In three years, Vrudhi Edtech has made a profound impact:
- 6,000+ Children Served: Over 6,000 children with differential needs have benefited from Vrudhi Edtech’s services.
- 2,000+ Teachers Trained: Empowering teachers is central to Vrudhi Edtech’s mission. Over 2,000 educators have received training to better support their students.
- 30+ Partner Schools: The company has partnered with more than 30 schools, including underserved regions in India.
- Global Reach: Vrudhi Edtech has expanded its footprint beyond India, entering partnerships in Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.
Successful Partnerships and Collaborations
Vrudhi Edtech has solidified partnerships with esteemed institutions, including Missouri State University, Hashu Advani College of Special Education at the University of Mumbai, and the Rotary Club of Mumbai Airport. These collaborations have enriched its expertise and expanded its network.
Financial Milestones
The journey to impact has been supported by financial milestones, including raising USD 450,000 in July 2021 and securing USD 375K through Science and Technology Park, Pune, via SEED Fund India.
The Road Ahead
Vrudhi Edtech’s mission is far from complete. The company envisions continued growth and transformation, touching the lives of more children, parents, and educators. The future holds the promise of even more impactful partnerships and innovative solutions. As we move forward, our vision extends to scaling our impact across geographies, making quality education accessible to children worldwide.

We are actively working on a language-agnostic model to ensure that language barriers don’t hinder children from receiving the much-needed support they deserve.

In fact, we see that the children are 10x times more engaged while they work with SpEd@home.
Dr. Dhaval Mody, Founder & CEO, SpEd@home, said, “ We have seen that every child learns differently, a child may be a visual learner, auditory learner, or kinaesthetic learner. A multi-sensory environment has been provided within the application to ensure it meets the requirement of every child. Rich media content makes sessions most engaging. Post sessions, downloadable worksheets can be downloaded by parents and the child can work on it. Similarly, we provide them with a live worksheet which is interactive. They can either access it on their mobile or on their laptops ensuring they are engaged and are getting adequate practice. The Speed platform not just manages the customised pathways of the child but also tracks his learning curve.”
Supriya Das, Co-founder, SpEd@home, added, “Having worked in the field for more than 28 years, we were able to get support from experts and we built our version 1.0. Soon we realized the difficulties in scalability in terms of the time taken by the application, and engagement available for the child. We, therefore, devised SPEED 2.0. This is a global revolutionary product which will democratise education and ensure better access to special education globally.”
Speaking of the SPEED 2.0 Platform, Aysel Engineer, Co-Founder – SpEd@home, expressed, “SPEED 2.0 Platform has proven to be a robust delivery platform for special education solutions. Along with a seamless learning experience, SPEED 2.0 is also fast and effective when it comes to results and reports. Assessments through this platform are delivered within an hour, 30 minutes – to be precise. For therapy, SPEED 2.0 allows us to keep the activities engaging and interactive. Children are going to enjoy their experience with SPEED. This platform is also effective in teacher training as well as providing an online Resource Room for schools. We are soon to add more features to this platform, making it a one-stop solution for all special education solutions.

Mumbai: Formed as a enterprising response to the global requirement of accessible special education solutions for children with differential needs, SpEd@home marks its second anniversary on 25th September 2022.

All-new Innovative Learning Management System
On this exciting anniversary celebration, SpEd@home is geared up to launch their all-new learning management system – SPEED 2.0 platform.

- Teacher Training & Capacity Building
- Online Resource Room
SpEd@home launched their first pilot program during the pandemic. The pilot program was carried out to understand the awareness and acceptance of online education for special needs. It identified the viability of 1 to 1 education for children considering that most of the parents complained that they weren’t able to perform along with the rest of the class all through the online education that happened during covid. Four advance programs were initiated later which brought a significant improvement in the children’s reading and spelling abilities, also in number sense and data handling.
Speaking about the pilot program, Dr. Dhaval Mody – Founder & CEO, SpEd@home, expressed, “Though most of the children in the pilot that we worked with were able to participate socially and emotionally, there were some who expressed disruptive behaviour. They either had difficulty in compliance, or difficulty in their level of functioning independently and some would often be more defiant and express disruptive behaviour by switching off the monitor or refusing to respond.
Adding to it, Aysel Engineer – Co-Founder, SpEd@home, said, “To support such children we devised a tabletop Occupational Therapy assessment as well as tabletop Occupational Therapy services. With that in place, we saw a significant reduction in these children’s disruptive behaviour and in the subsequent 6 months we saw improvement in these children.”
Speaking about the further actions, Supriya Das – Co-Founder, SpEd@home, expressed, “We decided to enhance our services and we started providing Occupational Therapy equipment to children with special needs right at their homes. This improved the engagement by 40% and we got better results even up to 30% in these children. All of this helped in forming the journey of SpEd@home and how our services could be delivered.”
