Post# of 58
Sibling Group Holdings’ newly acquired subsidiary, Urban Planet Mobile™ (“UPM”), has launched its first distribution partnership in India through an agreement with India-based Trio Tech, a mobile solutions company, and VMS India, a subsidiary of VMS Communications.
VMS India and Trio Tech will market UPM’s full suite of products to governments and corporate clients. According to the news release, several proposals and partnerships are already underway regarding UPM’s signature language learning service, Urban English®.
“We are thrilled to be Urban Planet Mobile’s partner to distribute Urban English in India,” Rajesh Kaul, CEO and co-founder of Trio Tech, stated in the news release. “We are seeing incredible growth and demand for digital education solutions in India, particularly on the mobile phone.”
India is a prime location for UPM’s solutions. The country is one of the largest and fastest growing mobile markets in the world and has 22 official languages. UPM’s Urban English teaches English to speakers of more than 25 global languages, including Hindi speakers and Bengali speakers, which are spoken by an estimated 400 million people in India.
“Urban Planet Mobile’s learning solutions are a key part of our growth strategy in India because of interest from local, regional, and national governments, and the need to help educate India’s citizens, especially in English,” says Divye Ratna Dixit, managing director of VMS India. “We plan to promote not just Urban English but also 333 Words and Blended Schools Network as well, based on the needs of the client.”
Urban Planet Mobile was recently featured in the Inter-American Development Bank’s 2014 report titled “The Broadband Effect: Enhancing Market-based Solutions for the Base of the Pyramid” for its success in distributing learning technology that has a social impact on Base of Pyramid (BoP) populations around the world.
“We have seen the transformative power that learning English can have on people’s lives in countries throughout the world. In India, English is truly seen as a language of empowerment. We are honored for the opportunity to work with governments to empower their citizens, bringing English language learning to the Indian mobile users,” said Brian OliverSmith, CEO of Sibling Group and co-founder of UPM.
