Mumbai, July 16, 2025 — ClassTym, a next-generation interactive teaching platform, built around transparency and personalization launches with a radical mission: to put the power back in the hands of educators thus making quality mentorship accessible to students everywhere while reshaping the future of learning through human connection.

In a digital age where education is increasingly commodified and reduced to influencer content, ClassTym offers a refreshing alternative. Founded by Divya Tej, a visionary entrepreneur and passionate education reformer, the platform rejects rigid, curriculum-heavy systems in favor of flexible, mentor-led learning. At its core, it is a student-centric and educator-first platform that equips independent tutors, coaches, and subject matter experts with the tools to build digital classrooms — without the burden of upfront costs or rigid structures. It offers integrated tools for scheduling, whiteboarding, content delivery, and student management — all designed to make learning interactive, accessible, and impactful.

Divya Tej, Founder of ClassTym

“At ClassTym, our vision is to create a world where quality education isn’t a privilege, but a right — accessible to anyone, anywhere. We’ve built a platform that connects passionate educators with eager learners in a way that’s seamless, personal, and empowering.” said Divya Tej, Founder of ClassTym.

He further added “Real learning happens when students connect with verified, passionate educators — not algorithms. At ClassTym, we’re not replacing human connection with technology but using technology to enhance it. With intuitive tools and a seamless interface, ClassTym is focused on bridging the gap between students and educators, making knowledge-sharing meaningful and impactful for all.”

Reshaping the EdTech Industry

The launch of ClassTym marks a paradigm shift in the EdTech industry. While most platforms emphasize content delivery and scalability, ClassTym champions student-mentor relationships, academic integrity, and educator empowerment. It enables students to choose their mentors based on demo classes, real reviews, and subject compatibility. By shifting away from a one-size-fits-all model, ClassTym enables personalized learning journeys while supporting educators with smart tools that scale their reach and income.

Unlike other EdTech platforms that thrive on influencers and content creators, ClassTym stands firm on academic integrity. Every educator on the platform is verified, ensuring students learn from qualified, real-world experts — not social media personas.

A Vision Born from Experience

As an alumnus of Good Shepherd International School, Pathways World School, and Bournemouth University (UK), Tej combines global academic exposure with hands-on experience. His leadership comes from working at schools, where he engaged with thousands of students and teachers, giving him firsthand insight into the barriers limiting educator autonomy and student access — especially outside Tier-1 cities. It was this realization that led him to launch ClassTym, a platform that removes geographic, financial, and institutional barriers.

What Sets ClassTym Apart

ClassTym is built from the ground up with a laser focus on transparency, accessibility, and empowerment. Key features include:

Zero Upfront Fees for Educators – Anyone can start teaching on ClassTym without paying a rupee. This reduces entry barriers for passionate educators across the world.

Global Reach – Now live in India, UK, USA, UAE, and Ireland, ClassTym connects educators and students across borders, unlocking global teaching and learning opportunities.

Real-Time Dashboards – Educators can track income, student engagement, and performance metrics all in one place — bringing clarity and control to their teaching careers.

Verified Expert Network – No influencers. Only qualified, vetted educators are allowed on the platform, ensuring credibility and trust for students.

Student Empowerment – Students select educators based on demo sessions, reviews, and subject fit, ensuring a better learning match and stronger academic outcomes.

ClassTym is more than a platform — it is deeply grounded in a powerful philosophy: authentic learning must be rooted in trust, interaction, and mentorship. Built to empower real educators and offer students a truly personalized experience, ClassTym aims to make education interactive, transparent, and deeply human again.

“In today’s AI-powered world, the ability to turn massive amounts of data into real-time, actionable insights is what sets successful organisations apart. As AI workloads demand ever-greater speed and scale, the role of data centres has shifted from simply storing information to enabling intelligence at every level. With India’s data centre capacity poised to double in the next five years, and AI applications requiring exponentially more compute power, the need for robust, sustainable, and low-latency connectivity has never been greater.

At STL, we see this as a tremendous opportunity to deliver next-generation structured cabling and optical connectivity offerings tailored for AI-driven data centres. Our advanced Data Centre and Enterprise Cabling Systems are designed to support everything from distributed AI tasks to high-performance GPU clusters. By combining high throughput, energy efficiency, and superior security, our optical fibre-backed networks are forming the backbone of tomorrow’s digital infrastructure.

On AI Appreciation Day, we’re focused on building resilient, intelligent, and scalable data centre ecosystems that empower enterprises to move from experimentation to execution. For AI to truly unlock its potential, it needs an infrastructure foundation that’s as dynamic and dependable as the technology itself—and that’s exactly what STL is committed to delivering.”

By Naveen Bolalingappa – CEO, STL Digital

“As we mark AI Appreciation Day in India, it’s important to acknowledge both the promise and the pressing challenges that define the country’s AI journey. While India is rapidly becoming a global digital powerhouse, reports indicate that over 60% of enterprises still fail to operationalize AI at scale without future-ready enterprise solution. This challenge arises due data silos and legacy infrastructure as key barriers. The root cause lies in the fragmented adoption approach—where AI is often treated as a one-off initiative rather than a long-term, organization-wide capability. This disjointedness not only stalls innovation but also prevents businesses from unlocking the true value of data-driven decision-making.

The consequences are visible: from under-readiness in manufacturing sector and delayed insights in BFSI, to missed personalization in retail and healthcare. Without a foundational AI strategy, Indian enterprises risk falling behind in a world where AI maturity will define competitive advantage. With the changing landscape of AI across sectors, what is also needed for equitable AI success is regulation at the industry, individual and national level.

At STL Digital, we’re committed to changing that narrative. Our approach integrates AI with cloud, data engineering, and security by design, helping enterprises scale AI across levels of their organization and innovate consistently. We are enabling businesses to move from experimentation to execution—with frameworks that ensure access, scalability, and real-time intelligence.

On this AI Appreciation Day, we urge Indian businesses to not just adopt AI, but to embed it into the core of their operations. Because appreciation should lead to action—and that’s how we collectively shape a smarter, more resilient digital future for India.”

By – Raman Khanduja, CEO and Co-founder of Mintoak

“For a long time, SMEs were financially excluded not by intent but because traditional channels failed to serve them effectively. Digital payments and infrastructure laid the foundation for inclusion and started engaging them meaningfully. Now AI is set to strengthen and accelerate that progress. It allows the payments ecosystem to offer data-driven support that helps merchants run their businesses better and smarter. At Mintoak, we believe AI isn’t just about automation. Its about deeper engagement and real empowerment for the SME sector. It’s a powerful step forward in building a more inclusive and responsive financial ecosystem.”

Prashanth G J, CEO, Technobind Solutions

“Artificial Intelligence has graduated from being a productivity enabler to becoming a purpose accelerator. At TechnoBind, we see AI as the compass guiding businesses from a metrics-driven mindset to a mission-driven future. Whether it’s anticipating cyber threats, enhancing healthcare outcomes, or bridging digital divides, AI is helping us align technology with human intent.”

“The real promise of AI lies not in automation alone, but in its ability to illuminate purpose, foster innovation with integrity, and drive outcomes that matter to society at large.”

­Venkataraman D, Vice President – Sales & Strategy Crayon Software Experts India

“Artificial Intelligence has evolved from being a background enabler to becoming a strategic engine of progress. We are witnessing a fundamental shift, where AI is empowering organizations to move beyond productivity metrics and towards purpose-driven transformation. It enables businesses to make sense of complex data, respond in real time to changing customer expectations, and unlock innovation at scale.

“More importantly, it gives people the freedom to focus on creative thinking, empathy, and problem-solving. What makes AI truly remarkable is its potential to level the playing field, giving businesses of all sizes access to intelligence and agility once reserved for the few. As we mark this moment, it’s clear: AI is not merely advancing productivity; it’s elevating our collective purpose, guiding us toward a more intelligent, inclusive, and impactful future.”

July 15, 2025: Fischer Medical Ventures Ltd (FMV) proudly announced a landmark public-private initiative in partnership with the City of Jember, Indonesia, supporting the city with multiple portable, AI-enabled digital X-ray systems designed for mobility, low-radiation exposure, and rapid diagnostics to help “Free Tuberculosis (TB) in Jember” by 2026, and to further FMV’s commitment to help Indonesia achieve their national goal to eradicate TB by 2030.

For the Company, this initiative is not just exercising its corporate social responsibility, it is a strategic move into a 280 million population country with huge opportunities from its public health plans, especially to fight TB, an infectious disease that can lead to death if not treated promptly. Indonesia continues to battle one of the highest burdens of TB in the world, alongside India and China. A key challenge remains: limited access to early detection and treatment. For many TB patients in Indonesia, the journey to diagnosis often begins with a long wait, and a long difficult walk from remote villages nestled in mountains or coastal towns cut off by poor infrastructure. For someone coughing for weeks, gasping for breath, and unsure whether it’s TB or something else, getting to a hospital miles away is a battle they often lose.

Championed by Regent Muhammad Fawait of Jember, this public-private partnership with FMV aims to put Jember citizen at the centre. FMV will support multiple units of portable AI- driven X-Ray, training programs and a comprehensive “Trace, Test, Track” solution to fast-track progress towards a TB-free Jember by ensuring its citizens gain access to early detection, get timely treatment, and receive sustained care. In a country where TB is the fourth leading cause of death, FMV’s comprehensive TB solution is changing lives—one patient, one diagnosis at a time, starting with Jember city and rolling out to partner more cities subsequently to help their citizens.

FMV’s handheld X-Ray combines mobility, speed, and AI to make healthcare more accessible. Its low radiation, portability, and AI diagnostics make it ideal for rural and underserved areas. Weighing under 3kg, FMV’s handheld X-Ray is a significant upgrade from typical bulky, 250kg X-Ray used in TB screening. With this lightweight device, healthcare teams can now reach previously inaccessible areas, from mountain villages to coastal settlements, allowing more agile and efficient service delivery to act faster, reach further, and detect more cases. What makes it truly revolutionary is not just its size, but its AI-powered diagnostic support. With built-in algorithms trained to detect signs of TB in chest X-Rays, frontline health workers can now instantly flag suspected cases, reducing unnecessary sample collection and cutting down the time to diagnosis and treatment, save lives by speeding up everything!

With this program, FMV is positioning itself as a trusted partner in Indonesia’s healthcare transformation, opening pathways to future collaborations with government health bodies, and building emotional connection and goodwill with over 280 million citizens.

Indonesia Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, expressed his support for the program: “It’s excellent that the Regent of Jember is implementing President Prabowo’s Quick Win Program for Tuberculosis Eradication through the locally-led initiative ‘JEMBER TB-Free 2026.’ I fully support this initiative and hope it will inspire other districts and cities across Indonesia to follow Jember City’s lead.”

Executive Chairman & MD of Fischer Medical Ventures Ltd, Ravindran Govindan, lead this project: “When we support healthier communities, we’re not only doing what is right—we’re building a foundation for long-term prosperity and global trust with Indonesian citizens. For shareholders, it signals strategic entry and brand loyalty in high-potential public sector markets that can lead to long-term procurement relationships by enhancing trust among key stakeholders including government ministries, public hospitals, and global health funders.”

While Indonesia has made encouraging strides in TB detection, reporting, and treatment, with marked improvements since 2020, significant challenges—like drug-resistant TB, under- reporting in private sectors, and incomplete surveillance—should continue to be addressed. As Indonesia marches ahead towards a healthier, more resilient future, FMV remains proud to walk alongside its people—one step, one life, one cure at a time. Supporting Healthcare means going where people are, technology like FMV’s handheld AI-driven X-Ray brings access, speed, and accurate diagnostics to support Indonesia’s goal to end TB.

For the thousands of children who miss school, the breadwinners who can’t work, and the families left grieving, the support from FMV represents more than resources—it represents hope and reinforces the idea that when corporations stand with countries, change becomes not just possible, but inevitable.
