About Us

Quiklrn’s company and culture are a lot like our product.

A Vision Born from a Conversation

Quiklrn wasn’t just an idea scribbled on a business plan—it was born from a conversation that sparked a deeper purpose. Rajesh and Kannan, the founders of Quiklrn, were discussing something fundamental yet often overlooked: learning is deeply personal. Yet the current methods of teaching and online education felt cold and unidirectional. Teachers focused on recording lectures, perfecting video and audio quality, but left little room for true engagement or interaction. Students were passive recipients in a system that failed to inspire. The Founders envisioned something different—a two-way street where students actively learn, interact, and grow while teachers are empowered with tools to make a real impact.

In 2017, they turned this vision into reality by launching Quiklrn, a platform built to reimagine education. Combining cutting-edge technology with a human-centred approach, Quiklrn prioritises engagement and collaboration, focusing on building 21st-century skills like critical thinking, digital literacy, and adaptability. Through their belief in “Forever Learning with Definitive Outcomes,” Rajesh and Kannan have set out to transform the way we teach, learn, and grow—one learner at a time.

Our Story

Challenging the Status Quo

The road to building Quiklrn, the world’s first genuinely adaptive learning platform, was not straightforward. From reimagining traditional LMS systems to introducing embedded AI for personalised recommendations, every step tested the limits of what was thought possible.

The team questioned why learning platforms weren’t dynamic or personalised and worked tirelessly to develop a solution that was:

Simple,

so educators and institutions could use it without barriers.

Adaptable,

to cater to diverse needs across schools, universities, and businesses.

Outcome-focused,

ensuring every feature delivered measurable results.

From automating administrative tasks like attendance to embedding AI for tailored content recommendations, Quiklrn redefined the learning experience.

Pioneers of the New Normal in Education

When the Covid -19 pandemic disrupted the world in 2019, it validated the need for Quiklrn’s solutions. Institutions scrambled to shift online, exposing gaps in engagement, personalisation, and accessibility. Quiklrn rose to the occasion, enabling educators to teach effectively, learners to stay motivated, and businesses to upskill employees seamlessly.

What started as a project for academic adoption quickly extended into business environments, rejuvenating compliance training and knowledge-sharing strategies. Whether for students or professionals, Quiklrn transformed passive content consumption into dynamic, engaging learning journeys.
