Since joining the Estonian initiative of free edtech solutions, ALPA Kids has received a lot of attention from abroad. As the need for e-learning is huge all over the world, they started their localization process a lot earlier than planned. Kelly Lilles, the CEO and Co-Founder of ALPA Kids says: ”The apps in many languages spoken in India will soon be released with an amazing co-creation partner.“ Chairperson and Founder of Little Einsteins, Kopal Maheshwari mentions “In order to ensure that all our centres are aligned with the new National education policy, we are co-creating the regional language apps with ALPA Kids for our preschoolers.”

Together the two companies are localizing the ALPA Kids app content to be culturally relevant for children speaking many different Indian regional languages. The Hindi language app will be published already in October.
