00:00Hey Flexi, is the sun yellow or white?
00:09If you were to look at the sun from space, it would actually appear white.
00:13In India particularly, it's all driven by entrance exams.
00:32What if we eliminated them and gave them a chance to learn and really do what they wanted to do?
00:43Education is the last sector to adopt any technologies.
01:05Calculator was really like, oh my god, they're going to learn to cheat.
01:08Learning needs a few things that are not negotiable.
01:12One of them is content to learn from.
01:15There needs to be a mentor or something that helps them.
01:19So we provide all that so that you can learn by yourself, so you don't have to wait for anyone.
01:25And it's available to you for 24-7.
01:37Flexi will answer the question.
01:39It'll use the generative AI answer, or it'll take the corpus from CK12 itself.
01:47And most importantly, it gives you analogies.
01:59If you are a designer, we can give you what is photosynthesis by saying, hey, you want to make a dress.
02:06And there are these different components of the dress.
02:37There was an incredible question asked on Flexi.
02:41Do fishes choke or drown in water?
02:46So if the water gets too concentrated, you can't breathe.
02:50So even the fish can drown in water.
03:01I went there and I walked into a library.
03:04How many can I take?
03:06Take as many as you want.
03:08I came out with an armful of books.
03:10But just that thought that I had access, my desire to go back and learn became very high.
03:19I became a molecular biologist, and then I decided, what can I give my kids and four children?
03:25That's how CK12 started.
03:27And that's why it's free.
03:29Because I didn't want anyone to, any young kid or any kid who wants to learn, not to have that opportunity.
03:44I've kind of come to realize, is that moment online or anywhere that a child says and realizes, I can do this.
03:58That the whole world sees it.
