Sharing an insight into this, Michał Borkowski, co-founder & CEO, Brainly remarked, “One of the most significant challenges in the education segment is the absence of constant real-time resources for true academic learning. The quality of local education is not as optimal, and the disoriented nature of the information available on the internet leaves students with next to no reliable source for their impending questions. This is where Brainly comes in the picture, as the platform bridges the gap to address these learning challenges. Owing to its peer-to-peer nature, Brainly provides students with the platform to get all their answers on, thereby driving better understanding. We are proud of our Indian user-base and would like to congratulate them for having broken our record with more than 12 million answers on the platform. Further, we hope to keep serving the role of an additional coach for all these students, addressing all their pressing academic concerns just as effectively.”

Through its peer-to-peer approach, the platform has been enabling students to understand academic concepts pertaining to each subject to their very core.
