Its wholly owned subsidiary, ThreeBrix e-services recently launched their first branded tutorial centre, LearningHours in the Capital.

So what one has is a state-of-art tuition centres with digital white board which can store and transmit whatever is written on it to students, a rich multi-media set up along with online content. Other technology savvy initiatives include a bio-metric finger printing for attendance.

"Our focus has been to impart technology-centric learning with a combination of well qualified teachers. Moreover, we have limited the class strength to just 15 students per batch to ensure everyone gets equal attention," says Riju Gupta, Director, LearningHour.

Gupta along with his two friends, pass outs from IIM started ThreeBrix e-services which was taken over by Educomp Solutions few months back.
