That article seems to "switch" from startups to Notion Ink

"We aim to reach out to one million kids in the next three years," says Rajeev Pathak, co-founder of eDreams Edusoft, a Bangalore-based startup that uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing technology to provide automated personalised tutoring.

FunToot, the product built by his startup is now being used by around 14,000 children in schools across southern India, including small towns such as Chikmagalur where 13-year-old CH Dhanvin Gowda has seen his grades improve after he began learning through Funtoot.

In Chennai, Harness Handitouch is building applications for tablets that allow seamless transfer of notes during a classroom session onto a students tablet through Wifi.

Another interesting innovation within the space is by Bangalorebased Notion Ink Design Labs, the makers of the Adam tablet.

The research and development team is creating a stylus technology, which will enable students to write on tablets the way one would use a pen and paper for writing or drawing. This includes making tablet screen rough or uneven to give a feel like a standard pad of paper. The firm is also working on a technology that will enable students to interface laboratory equipment with tablets and smartphones to perform experiments and do calculations.

The company hopes to release these technologies in the third version of the Adam Tablet within two years. "We believe lowcost tablets will become ubiquitous among students in the next two years," says Rohan Shravan, founder of Notion Ink Design. The use of tablets is also growing within academia. "We are very bullish on the wide scale use of tablets within the education industry.
